Sleepy.

Still waiting for my birthday present. Hmph!

A friend ordered a movie for me. I'm awaiting its arrival (on Thursday? methinks).

I've been getting really sick in the mornings for the past few days, and that's no bueno, obviously. I have a test tomorrow, and I absolutely have to be at school at 8:30 A.M. to go to my philosophy class that I have missed like four times. I can't do that if I'm feeling woozy! I can't take a two question essay test if I'm feeling woozy, either. The last time I did that, I FAILED. Woozy be gone!

I am really excited for September because Bones is coming back. That's really all that matters in life. The new season of House looks stupid and just as annoying as all the others, so I'll pass. Even though all episodes of Bones are exactly the same way, I just can't stop watching it. BUT the best thing of all: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! I really shouldn't watch that show because I pick a favorite, get attached, and become really sad when that person inevitably leaves. Except not last season--Jeanine won! and she was in my top three. Oh well.

Also, it puts me one month closer to seeing New Moon. Hello.

I'm supposed to mail stuff today, and I need to do that now, but I can't because I'm feeling rather ill. The woozy. Very bad, very bad.

The natural food store next to my house is amazing.

I cannot choose a nail color for this week! :o/

same polish:

Charged Up

This is Orly's Charged Up on my nails:

Pippa from Zoya

This nail polish is FANTASTIC. I could have used only one coat, but I chose to do two just because I do that. The color is the perfect yellow, creamy, smooth, and OPAQUE. There was absolutely NO streaking with this polish! YAY.

Early Birthday Presents!

An internet friend (who is super sweet) sent me a lovely gift. Needless to say, I love it. 

I need to file my nails. They're getting a bit too long. I also need to buy nail polish remover. Perhaps I shall do that today. 

I had stuff to say. I forgot it, and it's also time for my morning nap. No one will even know I was awake way before they were. (My medicine has of late been making me very tired 30-60 minutes after taking it, so I am forced to nap. When I wake up, I'll do my nails. 

Bits of Fluff!

First and foremost, my nails today are blue and shiny with China Glaze's "Sexy in the City."  Yes, they do look like crap. I am not in the mood to clean them up right this second, and I seriously just finished them. The lighting in here does not do the color justice. It's darker than that! 

I received my MUA swap finally. I got the NYX Doll Eye mascara (which I used today, and I really like it). The swapper also sent me a baby pink Sephora lip pencil and a sample jar of Fawn Intensive Foundation from Everyday Minerals. I already use that, so...thanks. 

Other things of note: NEW MOON TRAILER!

I am pretty excited about it, particularly since it looks better than the first one, AND it looks like they finally plucked Kristen Stewart's eyebrows, so she's like ten times more attractive than she used to be!!! Amazing. 

Now to the important bits of fluff that aren't particularly fluffy. 

WWF = my favorite organization. 

I'd like everyone to listen to this. 

Also, adopt an animal or five. I have asked several people to adopt an animal for me in lieu of material gifts for my birthday. Obviously, I'd really like an octopus adoption (or five) and the Bornean pygmy elephants and pygmy marmosets and, like, all the other animals. RED PANDA. I just want more people to pay attention to wildlife and what all of our bullshit does to it. Seriously. It's disgusting and shameful. Any kind of donation to the World Wildlife Fund would make me happy. 

Also, this is a really good thing to which everyone should donate. One of the charities receiving funds is the WWF!

Purple.

I am seriously lacking purple in my makeup collection and my nail polish collection. This has to change. I did a whole bunch of eyeshadow swatching the other night when I could not sleep, and I decided that there are not many colors I really need to add. I need a really good, bright orange, a good, bright yellow, and purple, preferably a darker purple. I have a light shimmery purple that I never use and don't particularly like, and that's it. THIS MUST CHANGE! 

I also want to try this new L'oréal Telescopic Explosion mascara. The wand is similar to that of Givenchy Phenomen'eyes, which I would never buy because it's overpriced crap, however, the want is very interesting. I don't think I've ever used a L'oréal mascara. I stick to Maybelline, Rimmel, and Too Faced! I think that's all I have. Oh, I do have that one CoverGirl mascara. This reminds me that I want blue mascara. I do not know why. I just want blue mascara, and I want a more reddish-brown brown mascara. I can only find ones that look black, and I don't want one that looks black; I want one that looks BROWN. I also want an auburn eyebrow pencil, so it will match my hair color better. 

Today, Pierre ate three roly polies. It was so sad to watch such a massacre of little isopods. I thought he just wanted to look at them and sniff them, but no! he wanted to nom them! Tsk tsk. I hope my cats do not eat them. They sometimes carry icky parasitoids, not that an icky parasitoid would hurt my dog, but still---gross. 

My sister is very interested in disgusting little bugs, like the roly poly. She keeps asking what they are. I told her they are related to lobsters and crabs and lice, as they are a type of woodlice. Eiw. I suppose I could go through the entire kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, order, suborder, family, genus, species, subspecies (except they aren't a subspecies) thing with her, but WHY would I do that? 

I miss my gorilla studies. This is what makes me think sometimes that I should go into zoology or something similar. I liked being with them everyday. 

I just got an e-mail from MAC saying that they will have free shipping on ALL order placed between now and 6 June. This means that I can order the slimshine lipstick that is being discontinued by itself, free-shipping, and be happy. I am excited. Thank you, maccosmetics.com!

I am dousing my hands in keratin and vitamin E lotion to help my nails grow as quickly as possible. They were cut super short for those acrylics, which I forcibly removed because they were driving me crazy, and now my nails are super short, and I hate it! Maybe I should start eating lots and lots of gelatin, too! They need to grow out faster!!!

Now I must take my noon nap. Ugh. 

Another one!

First things first, I think I'm really beginning to WANT that neat Konad stamping system for your nails. I think it's super cute to have certain things on your nails. I'll consider purchasing it or adding it to a wish list at a later date. It's not expensive at all, either, especially since I just want the stamper/scraper set, two special polishes, and one design plate. That amounts to about 30USD.

The above photo is a photo of incredibly adorable/delicious things I have accumulated recently. It's a small amount, obviously, because I didn't put any makeup in. 

Left to right back row: Mushables kitty that meows when you squeeze it. Trolli Brite Crawlers (and the photo is backwards...sorry). EASTER DINOSAUR. front row: cute headbands: satin black, brown feathers, black/white feathers. adorable photo album from baby shower AND the new sunglasses I got yesterday. 

I have plans for those sunglasses, aside from using them to shield my eyes from the evil sun. They are super retro cute. I also have a lei on loan for photo purposes. Don't worry; all will unfold soon.

I'm still using my tanning lotion. I'm considering using the stuff that does it super fast instead of the one I'm currently using. IDK. It doesn't last very long. I have to buy a new bottle like..every two weeks or so. I haven't though because I don't use it every day. I use it twice a day though for about a week to have a nice tan for a few days, and then I decide that my paleness is OK and leave it alone. 

I did not study for my history final at all, and I hate myself. I should probably go to sleep right now. 

I may watch a movie first. I am having a lot of difficulty sleeping, and I don't want to take valerian root tonight because I need to be up to take my final at 3:30.

I discussed some of the changes I'd like to make to my bedroom with my mother, and she seemed OK with them. I told her I want different blinds and curtains for temperature control. I also think I want to change the theme in here--not sure though. I am still really sad that I didn't get the amazing rainbow set from Target. :o/ It was so cute. 

I love calamine. And I love my eye cream. 

Good night. 

I just need to soak in the fact that I don't have to do anything for THREE MONTHS.

Three months gives me lots of time to ponder my life. I can figure out what's wrong with me. I can play with my meds more. I can get better. I can relax. I can go to the hospital if I want without stressing about missing something important! because sometimes I miss that place so much. I can go to the park and sleep on a bench. (except not) I can go to the library. I can sleep. (I hope) I can shop. (I could do that anyway) 

Which reminds me: I bought new nail polish! and a new eyeshadow. I don't know why I bought the eye shadow because it's green, and I have at least two green eyeshadows in that color already. Whatevs. I have it, and I have a plan for it. If only I had friends and stuff who went out with me, I could use these makeup plans. My life sucks. I am not who I was born to be.

The nail polish is a China Glaze cream color called Shower Together. It's from the Ecollection, which I love. I can't find all the colors at any stores around me, but I collect them as I find them. So I have two colors from it thus far. I have four from the summer collection. I don't like the summer collection all that much. I don't like glittery nail polish all that much. So. Shower Together is a gorgeous blue green, like a pretty ocean. (I have never seen a pretty ocean.) I painted my nails with Wild Mink (bright pink--gorgeous) last night when my hands finally stopped shaking, and they look OK. I also shortened all of them because I was just tired of them being super long. (stupid healthy nails) So my nails look good today. They'll probably look good for a week or so. It doesn't matter though because I'm not going anywhere. 

I was supposed to hang out with Robert today. I slept a lot today, and this morning I typed out the annotated bibliography and mailed it to my teacher, and I don't know. I am feeling particularly unwell. Just not good at all. 

I have a pretty good idea of what I shall discuss in my final essay for English, but I am not sure what I will do about the extra credit essay on Milton's Paradise Lost. It's only the first two books, but that is almost the problem for me. I don't know how to write about a part of something, not the whole. I don't know. I obviously don't have to do it because it's extra credit, but I have to do it because I got a 52 on the first test. And I have to do it well. 

Tomorrow I start studying for my history final. I am going to study so hardcore. I absolutely cannot fail. It is not a choice. 

I do not have to study very hard for my psychology final because it's easy, and it's stuff I already know, but we have to take two tests. Also, I never did the book report, and my teacher would not let me turn it in late, so I have a missing grade. I need to do well on the final to get like..a C probably. This semester is going to destroy my GPA, even if I don't fail anything. Ugh. 

I also must add that I am rather pleased to have found cute shorts that look cute on me. I happen to buy and own a lot of shirts that only look cute with shorts. So I need more than like one pair. I do have my safari shorts, of course, but I never go on safaris! Hmph.
