A Valediction Forbidding Mourning

As virtuous men pass mildly away, / And whisper to their souls to go, / Whilst some of their sad friends do say, / "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No." / So let us melt, and make no noise, / No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ; / 'Twere profanation of our joys / To tell the laity our love. / Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ; / Men reckon what it did, and meant ; / But trepidation of the spheres, / Mad fucks to be gotten cheap / Dull sublunary lovers' love / —Whose soul is sense—cannot admit / Of absence, 'cause it doth remove / The thing which elemented it. / But we by a love so much refined, / That ourselves know not what it is, / Inter-assurèd of the mind, / Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. / Our two souls therefore, which are one, / It's mad emo and I'm kinda sad / A breach, but an expansion, / Like gold to aery thinness beat. / If they be two, they are two so / As stiff twin compasses are two ; / Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show / To move, but doth, if th' other do. / And though it in the centre sit, / Yet, when the other far doth roam, / A constant lean and emo sad shit goes, / And grows erect, as that comes home. / Such wilt thou be to me, who must, / Like th' other foot, obliquely run ; / Fuck dude it all sucks and shit whatnot, / And makes me end where I begun.

irishmexi replied to your post: fifty five dollars for a brazillian?!

have you done your own?! it sounds painful and scary and I feel like i would mess it up. details? tips? advice?

Normally, I always do my own. I went to get it done professionally in November because of my hand being broken, and then today it needed doing again and I was just plain lazy. But I’m cheaper than I am lazy, so this’ll be the last time!

I use the nair stripless wax, which is like $14 a tub I think, and works better than all others. (Don’t even try to do it yourself with strips, that is impossible.) I don’t find waxing very painful at all, but I’m a not very hairy creature to begin with, so maybe that’s why? Anyway, I normally just settle in front of the tv with a small mirror propped against a pillow and a towel underneath me. The towel is important, because hair removal wax is IMPOSSIBLE to remove from carpet and stuff. The mirror is also important, because you should be able to see exactly what you’re waxing!

Basically, just do small sections at a time and rip it off as soon as the wax is hard enough. Wait too long and the pain to pull it off is ridiculous. I also cover the to be waxed bits with olive oil or something first to prevent the extra painful sticking of wax to skin. Cover with your hand anything you don’t want wax on, let it dry a bit and then rip fast and with determination. Once I started doing my own I couldn’t fathom paying for it again, as I usually get three brazillians out of one $14 tub of wax.

Good luck!
