More Makeup?

It's that time of year again, Homecoming! I'm really liking this 'planning my makeup ahead so I don't scramble' thing. So...here we go!

I'm gonna be this little dude here. Sewed on those yellow circles to a black turtleneck and hot shorts (gonna lingerie tape the bottom half to tights). Which just leaves makeup.

GOOD GOD I hate cream facepaint.

I finally figured out that using a brush to apply (instead of a sponge) works so much better.

Eyes: Milani black, Smashbox black/silver/white trio, Amuse pallet in gold and bronze, Benefit cream in marry up gabbi, UD 24/7 liners in yeyo/zero/eldorado, UD glitter liquid liner in Midnight Cowboy
Lips: Benefit cream in marry up gabbi, UD 24/7 liner in lucky
Face: benefit 24k shimmer powder, Estee Lauder eyeshadow in mink, Benefit 10, Benefit rush hour in sunberry

Hair in 'ear' pigtails.

Will probably go with ponytail instead. Less messy.

Cannot touch my face AT ALL. Going to wipe it all off.

Ironic Overpower Field Day

I've been having major klutz attacks for the past two days resulting in a few semi-serious injuries.

Besides the various guard bruising, yesterday while making Halloween decorations, I got some hot glue on my thumb. Thinking it wouldn't be too bad, I finished gluing and then peeled the glue off. OMG, burn blisters on the pad of my thumb. WTF, man.

Later that night, I broke a nail by accidentally stabbing my bed. Not too much of an 'injury", but I wanted nice, long, red pin-up girl nails for tomorrow. My nail is currently being held together by tissue paper and clear polish.

Today, I smacked my thigh, butt, and forearm with the pole hard enough to bruise. I hope I don't have to change my costume to 'abused pinup girl' instead. Also, I caught the pole with my face twice, resulting in a bloody lip and bruised front tooth, and caught with my throat once (don't ask).

I can only hope that this is an accumulation of injuries to make up for the fact that the hell week (Homecoming, Rainbow, Halftime show) will be accident-free for both myself and the rest of the guard.

On a more cheerful note, I wore Pocahontas to school and got tons of free stuff from the Kaiser people that were standing around by Dole St. I don't even know what they were promoting, but they gave me pens, beer coolers, sunblock, and chapstick. They then asked me to take a picture with them. SCORE.

Fangirlish Squee of Joy

I've come to the conclusion that I would make an excellent stalker if I ever felt the need. I'm meticulous, over analytical, and patient enough to wait for fruition. Along that slightly disturbing train of thought, I've been (almost) religiously checking up on The Baseballs' website and Youtube waiting for tour videos to surface since the chances of me getting to Germany for a show are about the same as having a perfect Rainbow show this year.

Voila. Fruition: original, non-cover songs. KEEL ME DED. I love the internet. It's a glorious invention. So is youtube and videosharing in general. Also, I do believe the 50's style gives them every right to cheese it up, they're fully aware of it, and they're using it to the fullest advantage.

I effing love this song. It's kind of like playing dress up, but with fun music.

And THIS. I'm a hundred percent sure that if anyone ever sang this to me, I'd melt into a puddle and never solidify.

I has a happee.

Oxymorons

Today I was discussing songs that have depressing lyrics but tunes that are so catchy, people don't care. This was mostly brought on by the fact that the closer for Rainbow Invitational has been stuck in my head since Monday and the lyrics are actually quite sad. Anyway, songs with tunes and lyrics that don't match.

A few cases in point:

Invitational Closer: You Can't Fall Up (You Just Fall Down), Tower of Power

You can be in or be out of love
But never, never ever fall in love
Because you can't fall up, you just fall down
And all you hear is that lonely sound
You're going down, down, down
('cause you can't fall up)
You just fall down

That just depresses me beyond belief.

A Little Less Conversation, Elvis Presley

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

How sexist is this song?

I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Burt Bacharach

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

BUT IT'S SO CATCHY!!!

Rock-a-bye Baby, standard nursery rhyme

Hush-a-by baby
On the tree top,
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall,
Down tumbles baby,
Cradle and all.

WTF MAN. (Also, this video sucks.)

On a somewhat random note, if you're rating a video on youtube of a performance and the performance was awesome but the camera shots were WTF, do you rate the performance itself or the video with the crappy angles?

Survey Time!

I'm bored. Let's do a survey!

1. Do you sleep with socks on or off?

Depends on whether or not it's cold or if I put lotion on my feet.

2. Do you flip your pillow to the cold side?

Hells yes.

3. Do you like to hold or be held?

Um? I think I prefer being huggee.

5. Do you want a small or big wedding?

Depends on the guy I'm marrying. I think I'd want an expensive wedding because I like attention to detail, but not necessarily BIG.

6. What type of guys/girls do you usually go for?

Gay ones, apparently. Although my track record is improving!

7. Would you rather be rich and unhappy or poor and happy?

Poor and happy. Who wants to be unhappy?

8. What are 3 things you want to do before you die?

Write a book, learn to ballroom dance, and send Slinkys down the Lincoln Memorial.

9. Have you ever churned Butter?

No... This is a really random question, by the way.

10. Are you trusting of new people?

No.

11. If you could rate yourself as a good or bad friend on a scale from 1-10?

I'd give myself a solid eight with wiggle room depending on how important certain friends are.

15. If your dream was to be a model and a big opportunity came up but you had to be nude, would you take it?

I'd ask questions first. Like what kind of shot it was going to be, what the picture was going to be used for... If they would pay for the gym membership while I got myself in shape... But I wouldn't say no right away.

16. You and your friends are going to do a senior prank. What would it be?

High school, I'm assuming. Pacman through the hallways.

17. What is the most money you would spend on a pair of shoes?

Um. I'd say, if they made my legs look so awesome that I could be wearing a paper bag and Halloween makeup but still get hit on...whatever I can afford without starving.

18. What would you do if you found out a loved one had cancer and had 5 days to live?

Cry. Pretty much, yeah. And then try to spend time with them.

19. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?

Aztec Gold (with Geoffrey Rush narrating). But these 'Silly Scent' names crack me up:

Alien Armpit	Big Foot Feet	Booger Buster	Dingy Dungeon
Gargoyle Gas	Giant's Club	Magic Potion	Mummy's Tomb
Ogre Odor	Pixie Powder	Princess Perfume	Sasquatch Socks
Sea Serpent	Smashed Pumpkin	Sunburnt Cyclops	Winter Wizard

21. Do you have more friends or more acquaintances?

I have more acquaintances who think they're friends. Mean, but true.

22. If you could win a couple front row tickets to a game, any sport any team, what would it be?

Um. I don't really care for sports...? Superbowl and then I'd sell them.

23. Would you rather help someone out or be helped out?

As of right now, I think I'd rather have the help. I'm tired of helping other people.

24. If you had to choose to be a different religion than what you are now, which would you choose and why?

I think I'd give Taoism a try. Is that a religion? Yes? I think so?

25. If you found out you couldn’t have kids, would you adopt?

Depends on how old I am when I find out. I do want to see these kids graduate from college and have grandkids and stuff. So if I'm like...sixty...then probably not.
