Skin


skin03 In the majority of blogs I read the authors include information about what type of skincare products and makeup they use. Unfortunately, I’m a completely goblinesque troll who looks incredibly shitty in makeup and cannot tame my skin with anything.

I don’t say this for pity just to explain why I have no tips or information about what I use. I have no expertise in these fields.

skin02 I imagine that some point in middle school, a day when I was sick, they took all the girls aside and explained how to look presentable. Applying makeup, proper skincare, and haircare were all explained in one succinct lesson. Upon returning to school the following day no one mentioned this lesson to me because my friends assumed I wouldn’t care.

Or, maybe all this information can be found in the magazines that girls my age read. I don’t really know. I once asked a friend about how she learned all of her makeup skills and she just gave me an odd look. Maybe it is a secret.

Sitatunga!


Oh my goodness this baby and momma Sitatunga are so adorable! They are like fluffy baby deer! So cute and timid . . . :kiss:
So cuuuuute!
I :heart: the site Zooborns. It has a lot of adorable newborn animals featured in a blog style format. I could spend all day fawning over the photos there.

Ten Inches of Snow


When I woke up this morning I was a bit frantic. I heard a snow plow and checked the local news website and found out somewhere nearby had 10.5 inches. I thought for sure my city was going to have a couple inches so I hauled ass to the shower and got ready for work. When I looked out the window I realized my error. Barely any snow.

And so…I got breakfast today :3 ! Nothing like being way to early for your job and stopping at a greasy fast food place for some hash browns and milk. Delicious!

Diploma


Thankfully, I have graduated officially! My diploma came in the mail yesterday. I have a cheap slip of paper with my name claiming I have earned a Bachelor of the Arts. Actually, I didn’t bother to read it. I stopped reading cursive in 5th grade (and other calligraphic fanciness). For all I know it says Gertrude Smith earned her Masters in Communication. Poor Gertrude. She’ll never know if she graduated :evil: .

alpaca Now, on to better things. I have a flickr account. I’ve managed to, despite a deficiency on my carrier’s part, upload pictures via my mobile. The pictures aren’t exactly quality. They resemble very grainy webcam pictures but if I see anything interesting like a peacock running through my backyard or a giant purple cow you can be sure it will be captured and uploaded. The photos that are there now are primarily from earlier excursions to the local alpaca farm.

Technology


techi As a child I had a time machine in my basement. Unfortunately, it didn’t travel anywhere. It was likely grounded by the Timelords. They must have viewed me as a threat. Maybe I was mettling too much with the natural progression of societies or something equally silly.

My time machine was not transdimensional. If it was the the bit of space that the interior occupied elsewhere was approximately equal to the dimensions of the exterior. Thus, if it was transdimensional it was quite a silly. Unless, that is, we jettisoned the other rooms in order to increase temporary energy reserves to divert power to a necessary ship function such as life support or propulsion . . .

It closely resembled a refrigerator box that someone had cut a door in :laugh: . It was often invaded by large scary monsters despite being grounded. Most of these were fell by rolled up newspapers; however, some did manage to escape.

Pins


pinsFound these unique Paperchase pins at Borders a few months ago. They were 50% off. I just wanted to check and see if I could get the proper alignment of text and image. I’m guessing it will not work so this post will probably be edited several times. Holy crap it worked. Never mind no edit necessary :joy: . For whatever reason I’ve been having difficulty making images do… well… this. I have no idea why. It just shows how little I know. Finally I was able to figure it out, have it float left!

I’m very happy to have figured this out. I find it terribly frustrating to look at other peoples blogs and see the image to the left with the text behaving appropriately and not being able to find the css to duplicate the effect…

Anyways, the pins, I have no idea what to do with them. They were only about $2 I believe but at the moment I don’t have anything to adorn with them.
