Where the hell did last week go?

So, I think my classes are trying to kill me. Which means this quarter is going to be very academically-oriented, which will lead to very rare posts. Such is life. But, to keep my spirits lively I've been doing my makeup more lately. Such as this look from friday:


Gah, looking at the camera is, like, soooo not cool. What the hell am I looking at instead?





hello, nose hairs.

Used:
Loreal D/c
Loreal HiP e/s Showy Duo, both sides
Jesse's girl turquiosy blue eyedust over the top
Jesse's girl white eyedust
Loreal HiP color truth cream eyeliner black

Long, long week

So, I am freely admitting that I am falling short of my goal of posting twice a week. In my defense, I will point out that my classes have been ridiculous lately and will probably continue to be for a while. Psych 303 is just picking up steam. I have to design my own experiment by Thursday, tweak it to perfection in the following weeks, write the intro to my research paper, and then run the experiment, compile data, analyze it, and write the rest of my paper. Oh, and then there's my other classes with various papers and reading assignments.

So, I am resigning myself to maybe not living up to my goal of posting for the time being. I will post when I have something to post about. I need to take pics of a couple WIPs anyways and share them. One is looking particularly lovely and it's making me excited.

First time out at a bar

I wish I had pictures, but all I can do for you is tell you how fun it was. I went to the local gay bar Rumors, got in free b/c it was close enough to my birthday, and got my friend to buy me a Red-headed slut (delicious). I danced for a couple hours and hung out with people. Got picked up (and shaken) by a drunk gay guy who also made unseemly suggestions were I interested in a particular action, haha. Oh my, it was fun. My makeup looked spectacular even after dancing for a while, and I wish I had gotten pictures but I needed sleep when I got home.

Yay for gay bars and being old enough to go to one. Now back to homework.

I'm dangerously close to already failing one resolution...

But I have a good excuse! Classes started this week, AND I turned 21 two days ago! So, yes, I have been running around having a good time. And going to class and attempting to start my homework. It's been hectic. I don't really have anything to share except the pretty pretty makeup I did on my birthday:








The color of the eyeshadow ended up muddier than I really wanted it. I ended up getting a smear of one of the many black products I used in the middle of the pink and I couldn't remove it without removing everything so I just smeared it and did my best to make the other eye match. I still think it looks good. My hair looked fabulous, though.

I haven't been knitting much, but I started a pair of socks. I'll probably post a pic here soon. In the mean time, I think I shall do some yoga before I go out to a party tonight. My back hurts like a bitch and I think stretching will do some good.

First post of '08, last FO of '07

Well, I promised I'd post here at least twice a week and this is my last opportunity to do so and not fail my resolution within the first few days of '08. Thankfully I do have things to share, like the scarf I knit my aunt:




Sorry I don't have any in-action pictures, I basically unpinned it moments before I ran out the door to catch the bus to send it out 1/2 an hour before the post office closed.

So, last Christmas my aunt had her hubby pay me $100 to make a scarf exactly like the one I was wearing. I said I would, of course. For a lace scarf that would take me around 15+ hours that's a deal I would only give to family.
-The yarn is from my aunt (errr....my dad's cousin but practically my aunt) Kathy who raises sheep, spins the wool and dyes it with natural dyes (for this yarn, it was wolf moss for yellow over dyed with indigo). My aunts are all in love with this yarn (and so am I!). It still smells like sheep and has a LOT of lanolin in it, which makes it a bit hard to work with and waterproof and WARM.
-The pattern is just a Tunisian Lace Insertion I found with a garter stitch border since the pattern itself is all knit with no purl rows.
-I used size 8 needles to make the pattern more open.

My dad was amazing for x-mas and he talked to Kathy and got me MORE yarn:





More wolfmoss/indigo and some just indigo. Enough for a sweater. I was just amazed when I saw it all. It smells soooo nice. I have plans for this yarn, oh yes I have plans:



But which color to use as the CC and which for the MC? Hmmmmm....ponderings ponderings
