the psuedo-impressing of people
i've been using more big words than usual lately. not with the students or anything. just in my own journals and/or head. yesterday i used "impetus." today it was "compunction." i don't usually use the words out loud, because i like to look them up first to make sure they mean what i think they mean. those are basic reading vocabulary for me and i wouldn't even pause over them in a book, but i like to double check before speaking. i used "remiss" in my lj last night. you notice? yeah, that was cool:) sometimes i think the students and i have some of the same feelings about english. i'll think of a word that i'm not totally sure on the meaning of, then want to look it up to see if i'm using it correctly. isn't that fun? yeah, that's fun:)
today i'm being taken makeup shopping. which is a flashback to high school. april, one of my best friends in high school, was really into makeup and once took me shopping so she could pick out all my makeup for prom. the makeup got used for prom and, most of it, never again. i just never feel like wearing makeup. in my mind, it's for impressing people, and it's pretty rare that i run up against people i really want to impress. i like the way i look without makeup. but i just can't pass up a session with an honest-to-goodness professional. you know? i guess this follows my basic underlying belief that makeup should be fun, not serious. i wonder how much all this will cost...
do i want to wear my skull bracelet today? i should.
i dreamt about china last night. weird dreams. maybe something about... killing people? i think i was pretty creepy in my dream. it mostly poofed away when daniel knocked on my door to ask me to breakfast, which i turned down, what with being in my nightgown and all. it was creepy psychological thriller killing. i wish i could remember more...
