(no subject)
so i'm partially feeling good from previous statements from complete strangers and then partially overly annoyed with a friend who i can't seem to understand.
so irina and i started talking about the things that strangers say sometimes that make you be like WHAT!?!? cause it's like something you needed to hear at that very moment and it's just random. so at work...let's say tuesday or wednesday.. i was helping this woman look for something, i don't remember and we meet up at the register and she just blurts out, "you have such gorgeous skin, i hope you keep it that way and stay out of the sun!" uhhh ok! no joke i had been debating in my head all day previous to her statement about whether or not i was gonna start tanning fora little bit cause i'm so sick of being so alino but i was all like no it's bad for your skin but yeah cause i'm albino. and then random lady speaks.
and i'm like wow. thank you. in sum, i'm not gonna go tanning and i can't believe i was even debating!
then last night i stopped by target to pick up face lotion...ended up spending $86, but that's neither here nor there...so i'm looking in the makeup section at nailpolishes and lipglosses and brushes and such and this woman who accidently bumped into me a few minutes prior walks back up to me, and i can kinda tell she's watching me but pretend i don't notice and she goes, "i love your hair!" (keep in mind it's in a messy pony tail with hair poking out everywhere and i have my side-sweeping bangs..i'm like oh thanks! i actually just dyed it again 2 days ago! "oooh what color i love it! do they sell it here?" i'm like umm i'm not sure but probably, let me go grab it for you "are you sure..here, i'll come with!" haha, ok...we walk to aisle together and i search for the hot chick with super short asian boy hair and grab the box for her. "this is gorgeous it looks so pretty with your skin tone...do you do this?" do what? "do you work in barber shop?" no, but i'm actually starting school this fall for it! "you look like you do!" i mean maybe that's not a big deal actually but even just the hair color thing i've been debating in my head(apparently i do this a lot) whether i was gonna start dying it back to get back to my natural blondish hair color cause having "deep roasted brown" is great but after a few weeks and i have blonde coming out, it looks weird and is tedious! but then for her to think that i work in a salon just makes me permagrin and made my day cause i took a huge leap, taking a "leave of absence" from school and choosing to switch from elementary education at the u of m to cosmetology @ paul mitchell in frederick, maryland!
i'm so excited to start school, and when i went to my cousin's paul mitchell school in mn and let her cut my hair i got so overwhelmed with joy just by being in the school. it's so bright and fun and oh man i'm excited. and i used to be such a snot with my thinking cause i always thought it was so dumb that like huge crowds of girls, and some of my friends went as a huge crowd to cosmetology school...and i guess i just was like how dumb. i had the attitude that if you went for hair and makeup that a)you were shallow b)not the brightest and c)giving up on college w/o even trying. i've ALWAYS wanted to work in a salon, yet i had these thoughts in my head. why? i mean i truely don't think i'm any better than anyone for going to college at the u of m. it's not for everyone. and it doesn't make them any less. truth is it took me awhile to realize that makeup and hair is a form of art. i'm such a creative person and love to be crafty and take photos and such...and makeup and hair will be such a great tool for me artistically. i don't even know if i'm making any sense. but that's me i guess. i go off on tangents cause that's how my mind works :)
on another note, i'm really getting into books on buddhism. it's always been the religion/philosophy that i've been able to relate to the most. anyway, i'm procrasting by writing and really should get back to what it is that i had planned before work.
p.s. even though it sucks i host mania tonight and tomorrow cause some chick i work with just got put on bed rest and she's only like 4 mo. prego...but that does mean $40 bonus each night. ching ching.
