(no subject)
I am really gross right now. I showered the day before yesterday and am wearing the same shirt I wore yesterday, covered by a really dirty hoodie. At least I changed my undies, right?
I was going to cook some steak for dinner but my brother wanted some too and assumed I was utterly incompetent. Good part: I spent time on my statement of purpose for grad school instead. Bad part: not rare enough. hmmph.
Grad school application fever has set in. I need to talk to people and say "Hey, want to write me a reference? Great, it's due in 3 weeks. Thanks!" I do not look forward to it. Statement of purpose needs polishing. Want to read it and give me some feedback? Let me know.
And in the spirit of my grunginess-
01. DO YOU HAVE ON A LOT OF MAKE-UP?
I don't even have on chapstick.
02. HOW MUCH DO YOU PUT ON?
It depends where I'm going. Class? Nothing. Job interview? Some.
03. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET READY?
Once again, it depends. Are we counting showering, brushing my teeth, all that jazz? Am I going to class or to a wedding?
04. DO YOU PUT ON A LOT OF LIPGLOSS?
No. When I rub my lips together or chew on my lower lip, it gets in my mouth and I don't like that.
05. DOES YOUR LIPGLOSS SMELL GOOD?
Yes. Burt's Beeswax smells good.
06. DO YOU CARRY A PURSE?
Never.
07. WHAT COLOR IS IT?
see above
09. DO YOU HAVE A COACH BAG?
I was given one at the age of 14. My mother has it now.
10. DO YOU HAVE A LOUIS VUTTiON?
No.
11. HOW MANY PURSES/HANDBAGS DO YOU HAVE?
0. I have several totes though and a messenger bag.
12. DO YOU LIKE TO WEAR NAILPOLISH?
YES.
13. HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET YOUR NAILS DONE?
Once every few years. 8th gade dance, my cousin's wedding, senior prom-those were the only times, I'm pretty sure. If I paint my nails, I do it myself.
14. DO YOU LIKE MANICURES?
Mostly I feel awkward and impatient. But then, that goes for a lot of things.
15. WHAT ABOUT PEDICURES?
You do not get to touch my feet unless you are very, very special. You are not that special, in all likelihood, and the woman at the salon definitely isn't.
16. DO YOU HAVE A USUAL NAIL SALON YOU GO TO?
I've never been to a nail salon.
17. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR HAIR CUT?
I cut it myself, sometimes in my own bathroom, sometimes in someone else's. Or a friend cuts it, but that's rarer.
18. DO YOU DYE YOUR HAIR?
It's been purple, blue, pink and red. Once I got highlights. I recently dyed it for the first time in years; red, but I didn't bleach and it's a natural red.
19. DO YOU STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR?
Never.
20.DO YOU HAVE LOTS OF PAIRS OF SHOES? BOOTS?
Do I? I don't know. A pair of sneakers, flip-flops and a few nice pairs.
21.WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SHOES?
My black leather heels make this great sound when I walk, very authoritarian. Makes me want to shout in German.
23. DO YOU WEAR HEELS EVERYWHERE?
Hell no.
24. CAN YOU WALK IN HEELS AND NOT FALL OVER?
In my one pair of heels, but they have a really chunky heel.
25. WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR CLOTHES?
Good question. Um. I don't know. The mall?
26. DO YOU GO SHOPPING EVERY WEEK?
Psh. No.
27. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE STORE?
The store with the sale sign in the window.
28. HOW MUCH DO YOU USUALLY SPEND?
If it's my money, next to nothing.
29. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN DIOR?
I probably have walked by Dior . . .
30. DO YOU FOLLOW FASHION TRENDS?
As a closet-hipster I am a slave to the trends of the disillusioned noncomformists.
31. DO YOU HAVE A PAIR OF HUGE SUNGLASSES?
No. Sunglasses and I aren't friends. I can't see two feet in front of me without my glasses, and sunglasses +glasses is a no-go.
35. HOW MANY PAIRS OF EARRINGS DO YOU HAVE?
Who knows. The only ones I ever wear are the pearls, if I'm wearing my pearl necklace.
36. DO YOU WEAR HOOP EARRINGS?
Nope.
37. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF SKIRTS?
"A lot" is vague. I like skirts but because I'm obese my thighs rub together and I get a rash which hurts a lot. So if I wear a skirt, it's usually over pants. I probably have 4 skirts.
39. DO YOU GET YOUR EYE BROWS DONE?
Never. Sometimes I pluck them myself, but not with any regularity.
40. CAN YOU APPLY MASCARA WITHOUT OPENING YOUR MOUTH?
I bite my lower lip-does that count?
41. DO YOU WEAR A LOT OF EYELINER?
If I'm going to go to the trouble of wearing eyeliner, I'm going to make sure you know it.
44. DO YOU DO PILATES OR YOGA?
My mom got me started with yoga when I was in middle school. We have all the fancy stuff, like blocks and belts, so sometimes I do it by myself. We also have books with positions, since I don't remember all of them. It feels good when I do it regularly; the muscles from my ankles to my knees are crazy tight.
45. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MAGAZINES?
Yes. I like to cut out pictures and articles and tape them to my walls. I recently cleaned my room though so Harper's and W are the only two there.
