This whole updating-regularly thing is becoming kind of normal, which is kind of weird in its own right. I've gotten really used to not updating ever unless I was being emo, so... idk, it's nice to have stuff to write about that isn't "I hate my life, woe is me" etc.
I'm back in Portland now! I made it back around 8:00pm last night and faceplanted into bed around 11:00. I don't know why driving exhausts me so much, since all I'm doing is sitting on my ass, but it's really tiring! Travel in general is really tiring imo. At any rate I am home now and so is all my shit (much to my dad's dismay, lol, he was the one who got it all out of my car), and I'm going to be sticking around until August. \o/
Probably the best part of being home is the week that I'll have where I get along with everyone in my family awesomely and don't fight with anyone. LMAO after a week we'll go back to bickering like we always do but there will be at least a week of peace! Hurray! For example right now my mom and I are comfortably co-existing in the same room (GASP), even though we're not actually talking. I came in and sat down and she was like "I'm honored!" Cries.
I went to the mall today with my brother because he needed to get a new code for his video game or something (idk whatever) and as he bought Portal 2, then surprised me with the info that he didn't have enough money to pay for it so I had to help him! ...lol. So as his punishment I made him come into Victoria's Secret with me while I bought fragrances. They were doing 7 for $35 and get the 8th free, so... whatever, and I had money left from buying books so I went ahead and did it. I have a lovely rainbow of perfume now;;; My mom was like "This is a weird new thing for you" which is true, I have never been really very interested in makeup and fashion and stuff but now I'm kind of getting into it.
I mean, I don't think I'm ever going to be a major fashionista or a blogger or whatever, but I'm kind of settling more comfortably into my femininity, I guess? I think for a while I was trapped by the idea that in order to be a "good lesbian" I had to be really butch, which is ridiculous because I am neither a lesbian nor particularly butch by nature. But fuck, you know, "wearing makeup and cute clothes" and "liking girls" are not necessarily mutually exclusive ideas and therefore I have come to the conclusion that I can explore cute fashions and stuff now.
Plus we're going to Italy in July and I've heard that people in Italy are like the most fashionable people in the history of the universe, so I have some learning to do. /)_(\
Before I forget, the perfumes are, from left to right: Wild Scarlet (apple, lily, and sheer musk), Amber Romance (black cherry, crème anglaise, sandalwood), Coconut Passion (vanilla, coconut, lily of the valley), Pear Glacé (pear nectar, cassis, violet), Lost in Fantasy (passionfruit, Brazilian orchid, musk), Secret Charm (honeysuckle, gala apple, stephanotis), Endless Love (apple blossom, honeydew, ylang ylang), and Berry Kiss (wild raspberry, praline, rose). The packaging for the Coconut Passion one is a little misleading-the liquid looks like it should be in the "yellow" place in the rainbow, but the flower is purple. B( I am perturbed.
Ummm I start working on Tuesday which I guess will be nice. My first paycheck is definitely going towards a cow kigurumi, though, I can't even lie. I found a site that has them for like $60 and I'm all over that shit, seriously. It will improve my life by 100%. How can you even be angry with anyone or anything when you're wearing a cow outfit, really? Right, exactly, you can't.
Okay that's all for now, I'm going to go play Portal 2 co-op with my brother. o7 Peace out!
