And yes, it's another picture of me. I might start doing this on a semi-regular basis now. Now, I highly doubt that anyone cares what I look like from day to day...it's just that since Flickr, my blog has been pretty photo-starved so I figure that adding a photo for the day will help spice up the bland text...even if it is just a crap self-timed flash photo of me :)

Very quick series of photo taken on auto/custom timer. Cropped trench, wrap dress, favorite wedges (not saying much since I only own two pairs) and my most oft used handbag.

And, just because I was thinking about it the other day, my beauty routine over the years (not that anyone cares but this blog is mostly read by just me anyway)

Eighth grade
Daily I'd use a little bit of eyeliner on both my upper lid and the lower waterline...before I even knew what a waterline was (heh). This is also when my eyebrows started to bug me (aesthetically, of course) but I was afraid of tweezers so I used a razor to clean them up...which worked for a while but ended up with me shaving off the end of my right brow accidentally. My beauty routine temporarily included my mom's brow pencil after that :P

Tenth grade
Ughhh makeup overloaddd. I got over my fear of tweezers and tweezed my brows on a regular basis...unfortunately I also decided my brows were too light SO my daily routine also included clear brow gel and too much brow powder. I also wore concealer, translucent powder, lipstick and eyeliner (lower waterline, thick smudged line on my lid). OH, and I frequently slept in velcro rollers to get pretty, wavy hair. It didn't turn out so bad, but I can't believe I did that almost every night.

Eleventh grade
I think that my sleepless, puffy-eyed junior year was a blessing in disguise. Due to lack of time and perpetually irritated, swollen eyes I pretty much gave up makeup for a good chunk of the year.

College
I don't really remember what my daily routine was through college...I think it probably varied with my schedule. But I think that when I did wear makeup it was a thin line of eyeliner (always pencil) on my lid and waterline, translucent powder, eyeshadow, and lip balm. Not too much.

Present
I've fallen down the slippery slope that is high-end makeup...namely eyeshadow (*sigh*). I've also discovered the wonders of mascaras and curlers and have been toying with the idea of using false lashes (!) the next time I go out (like...nightclub type out). So daily? Eyeshadow over Urban Decay's primer, mascara base, mascara, brow wax or gel (clear), and lip balm (usually Smith's Rosebud Salve). My skin has gone from crazy oily to crazy dry, but it doesn't look so bad now so I don't even wear powder anymore :P

So yeah, I don't know what the point of that was haha. s'all good.

I think I had mugicha on the brain because it was so freaking hot and drinking hot genmaicha was pretty tortuous. I think I need to buy some mugicha and a big pitcher so I can home-brew some home brew to drink when it starts getting really hot. Yum.

I dunno why I had a dream about losing my purse. For some reason I was very upset about losing the purse itself and only mildly upset about the stuff in it...namely the iPod Touch. I still had my cell and wallet (which had fallen out before I lost my purse...?)

I feel very lackluster today.

"What?" I asked.

"That car next to us? Don't look!" he said just as I turned my head to look at the car right by us. "That lady in the passenger seat just threw some trash of of her window and--she didn't see this--it flew right back in through the back window."

(ahahahhhaahhahahaha that's bachi)

This is probably the only issue in which I cannot understand the opposing side at all. Well, scratch that. I can see where they're coming from, but do not agree with it even a tiny fraction of a percent.

So yay for California, second state to legalize same-sex marriages :D

ahahahah dude i don't know how i did this but i left the house in such a mad rush that i ended up wearing two completely different pairs of shoes and didn't notice until now.

WTF WTF WTF.

edit: went back to the house for lunch so I could get matching shoes ;P

"Hit the bird! Hit the bird!" said VV (because he's so mature). I just rolled my eyes and kept on driving. Yes, I was driving straight at the bird but I've driven through whole flocks of birds and they always fly away before I get within a few feet of them.

And then I heard a *thunk* on my front bumper. Stupid bird took off a bit too late and I hit it ;P

NO I didn't kill it. But damn :(

I didn't feel like going out to eat and I was starving, so I made fried rice. I was prepared, though. I bought a container of cut pineapple to snack on before I finished cooking :)

I'm never going to get through any of those pigment jars. Or my Fyrinnae shadows for that matter.

I wonder if I could use my loose shadows like pigments...?

...used illegal substances
Unless you count secondhand weed maybe...because quite frankly it's pretty inescapable once you hit college ;P Oh, and unless you count the occasional weaksauce drink I'd have when I was 20 and not of age...ha! But even then it was hardly anything! The very first time I ever got an alcohol buzz was almost exactly one week after my 21st birthday...in Vegas!

...dyed my hair
Despite what some may think ;P

...been to Japan
It's seriously quite frequently the first question people ask me when they find out that I'm Japanese. No, I have not. I want to, though. That, and "do you speak Japanese?". No, I do not. I want to, though.

...been in an accident involving a moving vehicle other than my own
Well, at least not when I was the driver. You'd think I'd have been in many, seeing that I'm such a crappy driver and all. But amazingly, no. I only hit immobile objects. Probably because they can't move out of my way :P Oh, and along the same lines...

...gotten a moving violation
The only tickets I've gotten have been UCI parking violations. I've come close, though! Knock on wood!

...broken a bone
Probably because I'm too chicken to do anything that would put me at risk for bone breakage. Again, knock on wood!

...attended a school where Caucasians were the majority
Heh...only in California (and maybe Hawaii).

Okay that was fun. Back to the grind.

I miss the VV. I think it was even worse on Sunday because I was home for most of the afternoon and all evening kind of moping around. I think if I went out and did something I'd have felt better but I was so tired I was kind of verging on delirious at some points. Driving was out of the question.

Been feeling somewhat reclusive.

Still need to set up a lunch w/ the hungry coworker.
