Oh my hell, I have a terrible allergy headache. I think it's going to be a Chlor-Trimeton kind of night.

I have fic recs – are you surprised? – and they're in fandoms I haven't recced in the past.

Conflict Resolution by fearlessfan
[Fandom: Psych; rating: G; summary: why Carlton Lassiter punched Shawn Spencer, and how they got past it. Written For: Yuletide 2006.]
I love this fic. Carlton is Carlton and Shawn is Shawn, and it's fantastic. Also, some lovely cameos by Gus and Juliet. It makes me all that much more excited for the show's return this summer (God, I love USA and their split seasons).

You Know I'm No Good by buffyx
[The O.C.; pairing/character: Summer/Ryan; rating: R - pre-sex; spoilers/warnings: through season two.]
I've ALWAYS loved this pairing, and this captures them both so well. I love seeing the events of season two from Summer's perspective because God knows, the girl has some perspective on shit. Summer isn't one to pull punches, and she doesn't here, even with herself. Plus, you know, it's HOT as all get out, as I imagine all things with Ryan and Summer would be.

And lastly, I bought Neutrogena’s MoistureShine Lip Soother on a whim over the weekend. It lasts and lasts, which I haven’t found in most lipglosses I buy, but then it also has some serious moisturizer in there AND sunblock. Best impulse buy in awhile.

Isn't it wonderful? So cool and tingly... I love it so much I even recced it in my LJ, which I never do because I suck at beauty products.

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

That's the one you recced?! I remember that. Del, Cat, and Gabs were totally mocking me because I kept going on about it. But it's so awesome. It even SMELLS good.

[halfway2home.livejournal.com]

Yep, this is the one! I sniffed mine today, but I didn't smell anything. ;)

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

Then you totally got gipped because I actually had people ask me what I was wearing that smelled so good. They were shocked it was lipgloss.

[halfway2home.livejournal.com]

Maybe it depends on the color? Which shade did you get? I have Cool Nectar, I think.

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

I guess so. Mine's called Glaze (#60).

[halfway2home.livejournal.com]

Okay, I figured it out. I'm dumb. ;) I have this, Neutrogena® MoistureShine® Soothing LipSheers.

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll have to try that, too, then. So, yay.

And DUDE! One week! One week until Jensen! Jensen LIVE! I can't believe it's already that time.

I'm a horrible allergy sufferer lately, related to an allergy I developed to my contact lenses that has now occurred all around my eyes. I just came back from the doctor who added Singular to my Allegra and Nasonex. I'll let you know how it goes.

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I heard they were starting to use Singular for allergies (back when I was a pharmacy tech, its primary use was for asthma sufferers). My mom also told me about these eye drops for allergy sufferers who only suffer the affects in their eyes...what's it called, again? I think its Pataday.

I think I'm going to have to look into an Rx, because the OTC stuff makes me drowsy beyond belief, even Chlor-Trimeton, and that makes it pretty damn difficult to take it during the day.

[popculturespong.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The doctor told me it used to be only for asthmatics.

Yep, I'm on Pataday. I used to be on just Patanol, but have had this allergy for almost a year now. I just stopped using two steroid drops.

I got pretty good relief with Allegra for awhile (until this sinus infection occurred), and not as much with Zyrtec, which is actually the stronger one.

[buffyx.livejournal.com]

!!! Thank you for the rec! I appreciate it. :)

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

You're totally welcome.

Oh, Summer/Ryan! Yay! Of course I love Ryan/Taylor, but before that I had a serious soft spot for Summer/Ryan.

I'll definitely have to try that Neutrogena stuff. I'm always on the lookout for a good lip gloss.

[rubykatewriting.livejournal.com]

Ditto. RyanTaylor are AWESOME, but yeah, there's just something about SummerRyan, especially when the only other offerings are Marissa and Lindsay (I did enjoy Teresa quite a bit).

DUDE. This is the best lipgloss EVER because it's lipgloss and so much more.
