Milani :3

Today I got the two Milani Liquif'eye eye liner pencils I ordered on black friday. At first I was a little anxious about spending money on them but looking at the receipt I'm pretty glad. For 7.99 I got two classic, quality, eye liners that would normally cost me over 20 dollars including the shipping. Very satisfying buy.

I haven't tried them yet but I can't wait to. I'll definitely report back when I do! :3

P.S. They're paraben free! How great is that?

Presents?

It's the end of November now and we're moving on to the holly jolly holiday season. My stepdad is a bit on top of me about telling him what I want for Christmas so he has time to get it while it's on sale or find it for cheaper. Sigh, I really don't know what I want for christmas yet.

125

Even though I think I've been eating more junk, apparently I've reached my goal weight. Our scale is kind of old so I wish I had another one to confirm it on. However, my friend did try it out herself and said that it read her correct weight when she went on it.

Lol it (my goal weight) doesn't look quite like I thought it would but maybe that's because it's not really toned or anything. I wonder if I could lose a few more pounds because I've never been under this weight (since before middleschool). Very interesting! Hopefully it stays off!

Xoloxolo Olo

I think I've finally decided what type of dog I want; the xolocuintli. A cool, unique, non-man-made breed. It comes in multiple sizes, doesn't shed and is supposedly intelligent and personable. Plus, the puppies are adorable! They are also called 'Mexican Hairless' or just 'Xolos' for short.

I read somewhere that the really dark ones are less prone to skin problems. I definitely want one that's like pitch black or super dark grey.

"General Disagreement"?

"General disagreement **
Valid during many months: On the negative side, this can be a time of furious conflict with others. Recent actions by you or by other people may have created energies that lead to anger, rage and general disagreement between you and others. If you have not been careful to enlist people to your side in any work that required your individual initiative and if you have alienated them thereby, you may find now that the forces of opposition have become too great to control.

The other side of this transit is quite different and much more positive. It can mean a time when some activity you started in the past is brought to a triumphal climax. However, you had to face a challenge that tested the validity of what you were doing. If you survived that challenge successfully, you will now enjoy the fruition of that effort. "

I've never gotten a horoscope quite like this before... I'm really hoping that the negative isn't the one that comes to pass but I feel like it will be.. that, however, might just be the mild anxiety talking.
Tread carefully I will..

Meditation

I read a few interesting internet guides/articles about meditation just now. I think I would really benefit from starting up again (with meditation) and sticking with it better this time lol.

Fritt

These fritters are getting less and less and even less tasty than they alrdy are. Ugh I hate BBQ flavored things >.<

Day Before T Day

Eatin BBQ flavored chicken fritters that are more fritters than chicken and watching the new TRON movie.

Waiting for minnie to call me back too.

I can't wait to get this application stuff over with again = (

Gotta remember to stop by the high school on MONDAY = (

My mom is prolly gonna come home later and complain about my room.

Promenade Cosmetics

So I found this little cosmetics store (similar to Sally's) in the shopping center where I work! I had no idea it was there previously and don't know if it was new or if I just hadn't noticed it. It's a little dinky but supplies are supplies and they are pretty well stocked on hair stuff. It was also surprising to find that they sell quite a bit of perfumes/fragrances.. a lot of bad stuff but a few good, obscure ones.. which was interesting.

Mostly I'm happy to note that they sell Queen Helene Products! Notably, the Queen Helene masks! Today I got the mud pack masque and I'm considering getting the Mint Julep one the next time I stop by!

I'm using the mask for the first time right now and I'm really hoping it'll help with my pores.

Leaving Paradise.

I reread Paradise Kiss today.. there's just so much to say and I probably won't be able to say all of it. It was really.... I mean, I had read it before when I was younger and liked it but this time around it was sooo WOW.... Chapter after chapter it was so relate-able to me in a weird way. The relationship between Yukari and George, dealing with natural immaturity/selfishness..and stubborn, warped personalites.. and their expectations of each other, really spoke to me. There were many other things too though.. especially the ending. I mean I get it but.. of course there's the part of me that's screaming for a typical shojo happy ending.. where they overcome all odds and stay together :3 It's almost unsatisfying when I remember that they really do not.

Idk.. It was just a freakishly impressive piece of work.

I hope I meet great people to value and have life changing/affirming experiences.

Yogurt Mask!

It only dawned on me recently how nice it is to use a face mask after a long day. Unfortunately I can't use my Skin Food Rice Mask more than once a week or it makes my face look a little weird (plus I don't have that much of it). Good thing I caught bubzbeauty's vid where she uses yogurt as a face mask to hydrate skin! Great idea for me! Generally it's inexpensive and I do tend to have yogurt around.

Fail!October

Totally did not reach my post quota again! Fail! like my Halloween.

Hm.

Thinking about my future right now is like looking into a cheap kaleidoscope; interesting enough to keep you peering through but clearly fragmented..

Unwind

House all to myself + Bailey's in the nice glass + incense + Rites of Spring = yes

PERFUMANIIAAA

Ladies that work at Perfumania > ladies that work at perfume dept. in MACYS. They are way more helpful.. know more.. don't talk as much and leave you alone.

"Only If You Run"

"I´ve had my frustrations about the pains of daily life
I´ve tasted degradation and found the lace and candle light
But we have the weights we have the measures of our days and nights
I´ve had my frustrations but now I´ve found my place

And you will make it
But only if you run"

Julian Plenti (solo name of singer from Interpol)

Emily Emily (Haines)

I googled pictures of the group 'Metric'. One of my go to things to listen thing when I chill out or if I decide not to put on anything too intense. I was surprised by the lead singer. From her voice I always pictured like, an ultra femme, lipstic lesbian, Avril Lavigne, type; Brightly painted nails and long blonde hair, skinny, with dark eye makeup and red lip stick, and lots of bracelets on. But she's actually pretty quirky looking (in a good way of course), an unexpectedly strong jaw, and much more mature aura. I like it a lot.

She reminds me of Uma Thurman (probably best known as the main character from 'Kill Bill').

They could probably pass for sisters, or cousins or something.

FRIENDS

I actually watched 'FRIENDS' in the early AMs last night (this morning?). I thought back to my boyfriend's sister who liked FRIENDS a lot and claimed to have watched all the episodes. It's not my new favorite or anything but I better understand the appeal now. The memories I had about it before were when I was a kid so I get why I didn't like it so much.

New PS3 Hard drive!

Finally ordered a new hard drive for my PS3! I already feel better about it but there is still a chance that it won't fix anything. Well, at least I'll have more space either way which is good.

Also, my step dad opted to pay for it so that's a big relief. I seriously don't make that much money and don't have a lot to spend for myself after putting allotted amounts away into savings. (I also have other things to buy.)

I want to take a bath (too bad the tub doesn't fill up) and eat some shrimp cocktail.

The one I picked out is the Seagate Momentus-- something something. 500GB and 5400 rpm.. should work fine!

I can't wait to start playing video games again! Skyrim is also coming out soooon!

Outgrowing

So, I found these awesome pair of chuck taylors on their website yesterday. I love them they are really great. Dark grey charcoal, black, wool and leather. The texture and the colors, and how they are arranged are definitely Megan approved! But I wore sneakers today to the mall and I found that, even though they don't look bad on mee.. that I don't really like them anymore. I mean..I felt a little immature wearing sneakers..
So I'm really debating getting these new ones because.. even though I know they won't look bad.. I don't want to look so casual anymore. I will probably regret not being able to get those sneakers though (for the hell of it) because, rarely do I find ones that I really like!

I don't look older but I feel like I have outgrown many things.. >.<
