"Belle you look so pretty tonight, I love your dress, you're so beautiful..."
None of these things are going to make you any less annoying.
Just because you compliment me doesn't mean that I'm going to suddenly say "You know what? I am, aren't I? I'm going to give you permission to take extra pictures with me."
Lord, people are stupid.
Emily is getting on my nerves. She's had a bag of trash sitting there for like a month and there are gnats all over the place. Plus, there's more shit in the freezer.
I can't wait to be with Tym.
Tym, who burned down six panels of the backyard fence yesterday, but that's another story...
Still hoping for a miracle with this shift tomorrow so I can pick up France... who knows.
Anyway... yeah. That's about it for now. After next Wednesday life will be blissfully free for three whole months. Well, more free then now.

Review: Ulta Automatic Eyeliner
FINALLY! A product I've fallen in love with! I've been searching for an eyeliner in gorgeous, jewel-tone colors. While browsing Ulta (and, okay, they were having this "spend $17.50 on Ulta products and get a free Ulta gift" deal, and the free gift was awesome) I came across this. I used the ones you can play with on my hand and just adored the two colors I ended up getting: olive and teal blue. I don't know what I'd do without them anymore. I love being fun with my eyecolors and this is the fastest and easiest way to do it. And, as if they couldn't get better then a $7 price ticket for quality, they don't smudge quickly and don't tug at my eye. Sure, I have to fix it once during the day, but I live in Florida so I have to do that with everything I've ever used. This gets 5/5 stars!!!

Review: Physicians Formula Plump Potion Lash Plumping and Stimulating Mascara
$9.79 is what I paid for this garbage. Plumping? Nope. Stimulating? I wish. Too expensive, definitely. I don't have anything good to say for this. I haven't tried it in any extreme conditions but it does nothing good for me. So disappointing.

Review: Rimmel London Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer
Awful.
The only word I can find to describe it. I was immediately drawn to color #270, purple shock. I was like "if this comes out of the tube in this color, I am going to die of happiness". Well, that was a joke. It's so light you can barely see it! What a disappointment. I mean, I guess if I sit at the mirror for five minutes and apply a ton of layers it'll be good but as something quick and easy - what I was hoping for - this is a failure. The other reviews I've seen are good but I don't think they've used this color. I'm so sad. I got so excited about this shade. :( What a waste of a perfectly good $3 or $4.
2/5 stars (only for price)

EDIT: So... okay, I actually did sit down with it and rub it all over my eyelid and I got some awesome color out of it. I guess because it's such a shocking color it needs a few layers to really get the color. Maybe I'll look into the darker colors because it did stay on all day. :)

Review: Covergirl Lashblast Mascara
I've decided I'm going to do makeup reviews when I try new stuff. Today's review: Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara in black brown.
At first I wasn't fond of this mascara (I tend to like something that makes my lashes thicker), but I do like it now. While it's still not everything I've dreamed of, I got it for that great price (on sale at Target, two for $9 or something like that). I probably wouldn't pay the regular price of $7.29 for it, though. It comes off easily with any sort of remover and doesn't flake, and that's pretty awesome, but I feel like there are better mascaras waiting to be found. I've been doing some research and will come back with some other mascaras.
This gets 4/5 stars.
Until then

Can you imagine?
It hasn't been good recently.
The Lark took over my life. For three weeks - count 'em, three - I had to request off from work. Thankfully I got to pick up so every week I at least got some sort of paycheck. And OAF was two weeks after the Lark so I was thinking "Oh, well, at least I get two solid days of working". WRONG. I guess I didn't realize but there's a rehearsal on Thursday at 6 and I have the "new" lunch/dinner. Great.
Norway sucks even worse now. I want to kill myself. It's 4 sets in the morning, 5 at night. And in the morning you only get a 15 minute break in between each set. Do they realize what that does to a person? It's like your stuck in that little box for 5 straight hours! At least with the old schedule I could sit down, read a book, have a snack, take myself away from this place for a moment. But now... now it's impossible.
They came and "talked" to me, one of our managers. Said he was getting complaints because I was "being rude" to guests; "rushing" them. I'M SORRY, but you're requiring me to see 55 families in an hour and do it with a 15 minute break? No, I'm not going to let the family have individuals AND group shot of the kids. Julianne and Morgan were really nice and told me that I should talk to the photographers and tell them how I work; you know: "Hey, I don't like to do individuals, if it's a cute kid I'll take the extra few seconds with them but I'm mildly claustrophobic so I need all 15 minutes of the breaks, thanks." Will it work? I suppose I'll find out next week...
I hate my show, BTW. I hate it. The SMs mom and friend came in and watched it and I don't think they liked it at all. I think they were beYOND confused about what was going on, which was my biggest fear. All this hard work for people to think I'm crazy. I'm getting deja vu from Madwoman... it's not as awful as Madwoman was but it's long and strange, although in a different way.
And Joyner.
Oh, Joyner.
Once again, I failed the test. AND, I got FUCKED on our project. The biggest thing was that the summary was suppose to be brief. Brief is 2-3 minutes, especially for a long, drawn out play. "Brief" is NOT 13 minutes. Especially when you can only have an 18-20 minute long presentation. HELLO! We all decided to meet early so we could discuss everything... and wtf is new, Alina and Cassie showed up 20 minutes before class started (which is late for them) and Cassie went up and dragged on and on and on. Poor Victoria, who did the whole presentation, barely got to speak. Joyner said he wasn't going to dock us for Cassie's inconsideration, but I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get a perfect grade on it. I don't see how I'm going to pass this class.
The worst thing that's happened is last Thursday I suddenly got a virus on my computer. A big ass virus. Like, I thought I was going to have to buy a new computer kind of virus. Thankfully, Robert Arnowitz saved my LIFE and now I owe him my name. Oh wait, he's already dating a Megan Smith. That's cool. :)
So that's it. I guess I always get stressed out towards the end of the semester. It's so close... three weeks away... but I can't see the end of it. May... May, you are calling to me!
