Spamming. Because I can, goddammit.

Damn. I am so stuck on this fic. It's maybe half-done, and I'm stalled out. Ah well. If I leave it alone, it'll either resolve itself or I'll give up and post what I've got as separate drabbles. Good luck, eh?

I spent an hour of my life I will never get back on this. I am such a dork. My apologies to Nami.

My mother called and told me how hectic her life was. After ten minutes, she asked me how I was doing, how work was. I lied and told her everything was fine. Damn, I'm a wuss. I'm too ashamed to tell her I'm getting laid off, even though I knew it was coming. Stupid. Oh well. I've got a degree, I live in the Biotech Corridor of the East Coast, and I've got some cash socked away. Hopefully, she won't need to know beyond "Hey, guess what, I got a new job."

On a related note, I've been working in the cosmetics industry for too long. I have to roll willpower to keep from walking up to people and telling them that that lipstick is so not their color/their foundation is too dark/they may wish to consider a different brand of mascara. I also notice people's eyelashes way too much now, and think of them in terms of "low separation, negative lift, good length--they need a mascara that curls with a separating brush." *pounds forehead into wall*

New icon. Watari has finally been dethroned as my default icon after more than a year (pushing two years, actually). All hail Usopp, for he is teh winz. And mettathron is teh winz for drawing him for me, especially considering that she hates drawing Usopp.

Cadbury Mini-Eggs should not come in 42-ounce packages.

Pinky-magenta-gold is so not my color, and it won't come off my goddamn cuticles. Arg. It looked so nice in the bottle...

It's raining in Baltimore, and I've been on a Counting Crows kick lately. Coincidence? I think not.

Heh. Voltaire. I'd forgotten how much I like his music.

Hnn, so can i count on you for makeup then? XD Omg hunny if you think that like I can only imagine how painful Takarazuka must be for you. The make up! The make up!!

I want to see you actually go up to someone and tell them thier face colour doesnt match thier neck XD;

That's the kind of thing that gets a person punched...even if everyone else in the room is silently applauding because they were thinking the exact same thing.

Poor you, but don't worry, things have to pick up eventually. I say you should hint it to them nicely, like "Ms., would you like to try this color? It just came in this week." I never knew that eyelashes could be noticed. U R Teh Winz. What's Cadbury Mini-eggs and how many eggs come in 42 ounce packages? It just rained here yesturday and now it's just cold. I like Voltaire and how can you forget liking a type of music?

I would be more horribly tempted to poink people on their makeup, except I work in upstream cosmetics research and development--the stuff I'm usually thinking of won't hit market for a year at the earliest.

Eyelashes aren't usually noticeable as a seperate feature usually unless there's something wrong or you work with mascara.

Behold, Mini-Eggs. (http://www.bewarethecheese.com/minieggs.htm) There have to be several hundred eggs in 42 ounces. It's an insanely large package of chocolates, and out far too early for Easter.

Rain yesterday, thundersnow tonight. Yay for global warming--I've never seen thundersnow before.

It's not hard to for me to forget an artist for a while--don't listen to it for a long while and get distracted by other kinds of music. Considering that today, I've listened to Voltaire, Fiona Apple, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Theatre of Tragedy, Project Pitchfork, E-Rotic, Naoki, mCAT, Alanis Morissette, Billie Holiday, Goo-Goo Dolls, Cake, and the Top Gun soundtrack, one can say I'm easily musically distracted. ^.^;
