Aug. 9th, 2008 10:44 pmSlightly drunk, very bored. Someday, I'll find the balls to go out on my own, but I still don't trust humanity at large, which means that if I don't have a buddy watching my back, I don't really want to go out to a club or bar or something on my own. *shrug* That and the fact that a woman drinking alone is just a pathetic, asking-for-the-wrong-attention target. And taxis home are spendy.
Tomorrow is laundry day, because a second set of extra-deep-pocket sheets, even at Target, is $60.
Fuck that.
But it's too late to wash the sheets tonight, so tomorrow afternoon it is.
I also bought a ton of non-essentials, which I have been trying NOT to do for a while, but the urge to have pretty hair and brown pumps for work was a bit much, so I spent $60 on shoes, shoe products (insoles, moleskin, etc) and hair accessories. I now have massive rollers to use when working on the 1940s look. Yay for Youtube how-to videos. the eHow directions were all gibberish to me without pictures. I also have a decorative clip for those kimono days when I'm too damn lazy to try and figure out an updo. I have purple hair, so none of the Sally Beauty falsies options would work (obvious fake and all that). Also, NO ONE has any of those neat hair combs that were so 'in' 60 years ago, which I fail to understand. Or the have them for sale singly, covered in badly glued rhinestones. I just want plain wire ones. I've settled for plastic, but I'm not happy.
... So I'll be broke but stylin'. I suppose I can handle that. My latest goal is to look hot and sexy for ME, because I never put any effort into my appearance and I'm tired of looking 43 at 25. It's just sad. I've started practicing the 5-minute face look with neutral, sheer eyeshadows, blush, and some spot-specific concealers; apply the 12-hour lipcolor while I'm on the way out the door. Mascara (Almay hypo-aller) when the sinuses are calm. Someday, I'll look into a heavy-duty abrasion for my forehead to take off most of the scar tissue there that no amount of concealer or primer will hide. Might do something, might not, but there are so many pockmarks that a little sandblasting at the local spa can't do any worse than I already am, y'know?
Also, all you OS-X-before 10.4 users, the 'Disk Utility' option of 'Verify and Repair' disk permissions is a sweet deal. My computer is still slow as molasses, but it's backed up on the spare hard drive and it doesn't have that vague threaten-to-crash behavior anymore. Who knew it was such a simple fix. o.o; I'll have to run that every few weeks after backing up everything (I was bad and hadn't done so since January. No excuse when you have 300+ GB to fill on the external.) Still saving my pennies for the pretty deskctop, though. I hope my 10.3 software will work on the 10.5 OS, because that's an EXPENSIVE replacement.
Now, off to read something pr0n-y before the rum wears off. (Preferably larger type, as my bad eyesight is NOT improved by alcohol.) It's certainly about the only time I'll manage to find the needle of arousal in the haystack of dead nerve endings that is me. *grumble*
