"You got knocked the f*uck out!"

You remember that line from Friday...that's how I felt after my first day of work. I thought I was ready for it...M** handed me my ass on a platter!! Okay so let me just say I love M**, I've always wanted to work for them but it's not what I'm used to!! I've always been amazing at any work that I've done...always (when I work I werk!!!) I think since I haven't worked for so long I've lost a lot of my, how do I say it, tolerance for putting up with people's bullshit!
These my first face was a regular to the counter who is used to being done a certain way, I didn't know it and I sure as hell don't have all the skill (yet) to do what she wanted! Her English also wasn't great but I know enough Spanish to understand my work was being torn apart...but she was okay about it and it was fixed.
Second face, she wanted simple, no foundation, a smoky eye, and some blush...yes, that I can handle! Ohhhh until the obnoxious wedding party (I'm not going to say what nationality they are but no matter where I am the women always always hate on me!!) that was around starting saying how bad my work was and to get someone else to do it and the girl started to question my work!! I didn't even finish it. I feel like I let myself get beat down and defeated!! So I'm going to hold off (hell since I freelance it doesn't matter) work at it some more, and come back with a fucking vengeance!!!
I don't lose!

On another note, of course I was cute with the signature red lips!!

Faith in Forever 21

So you may or may not know this about me but I'm very picky about my clothes, their quality, and where they come from...years in retail will do that to you!! Well recently Forever 21 came out with a plus size line called Faith 21, it's not available in all of the forever 21 stores but you can order online (something that I do not like to do!). And I know F21 is hit or miss in the quality department, but I stumbled upon the giant known as the Forever 21 in Times Square, which has it's own Faith 21 section.



This store is a huge giant by the way! It's in the spot of the old Virgin Mega Store and it is still a huge 4 stories and gorgeous!!



Well the point of this (now turning into a) long winded post is I made my first clothing purchases at F21 and here's what I got!!

Wow oh wow

So I finally (since I last posted) got my Nikon D90, I'm no Stephen Albanese (even though after talking with him awhile ago he said it would be a great camera for me) but maybe I'll get there. It's stepped my picture taking game up but I still have far to go!!

Work please!

Yup I think I'm rejoining the ranks of the working class! So I've been very anti work for the past year. I am not as lazy as I seem! When I work I work and it's my priority!
I really want this new gig, I don't want to talk about it too much because I don't want to jinx it! They've been wanting me to work for them for a few years (I wasn't willing to leave the old gig for it, I should have!) and recently we've been trying to make it happen but there's been a few bumps in the road.
But whatever I think eventually things will fall into place and I'm looking forward to them doing so!

Man oh man!

Yes, man. So there was a guy I let into my life, even though he's on my list of "never mess with a..." list. It's been awhile since we've dealt with each other but what he does for a living crosses with my life a few times a week so I have to deal with him no matter what.
So there's been a big drastic change in that recently and it has me in a royal ass grouchy mood. How am I letting him still affect my life? Like really!? And what could possibly be going on with him I wonder if it was a part of his life when I was a part of it?!
I never ever regret anything I've ever done in my life. He is included in that! But sometimes I think "He made me something that I never wanted to be!"

I adored him for him not for what he was or what he did. I wonder if he'll ever realize that. Guess what I think I'm kinda sad that I don't know if we'll ever see each other again

uneventful

the story of my life

sometimes I don’t get how I have the most boring life ever. for someone who has so many “friends” I really don’t have any. my work defined my life way more than I wanted it to and way more than I realized it until it was gone.

what did I do today?? I got up at 2ish, got way too dressed for no reason, and did pretty much of nothing for the vast majority of my day. what am I dong now? the same nothing I’ve been doing all day.

sometimes I wonder if I didn’t exist, or better yet if I just disappeared would anyone really care to notice. I always say if I died no one, not one person would say “I just lost the love of my life”

and I’m tired of all that “life is what you make of it bullshit” I’m very well aware of that but you can only make so much depending on where you are.

and another thing. I miss my camera. as much as I hated it I miss it. really as uneventful as my life is right now I really should just drop a good $800 on a camera, at least it would give me something to do.

and on the work front even with this new gig how much in reality am I going to be doing

and my comfort zone, the one thing or people who have been stable (as stable as they can be) won’t or is it don’t want me around off of something that shouldn’t be as big of a deal as it is. yes people its pretty painfully fucking heartbreaking as much as I probably never have admitted openly

maybe I should try drugs

I think

I'm losing my mind, sanity, clarity, and fashion sense. I think I may, quite possibly, should think about getting a job. It's been a year but after that last 4 year stint and the way it turned out I don't know if I want to.

Let's see me vs the party, lol! I think I've gone out more in this past year than I have in the 2 before (having a job usually gets in the way of that) and it's not getting too tired (because party for me is going out for drinks and hanging out...drug free school zone over here!) I've just been doing it a lot. Enough to get me in some steaming water with someone I've been associated with for years...but I think he's being a bit of a drama queen. I'm sure he has had moments where there's a story that starts off with "This one time I got drunk" and ends with "but I don't remember any of it!!' (that's another story!)
How I went from years of being in charge and getting shit done to...well doing nothing. I always say I never want my work to define who I am, but all I've ever done is work and now I feel like I really don't know who I am or what my purpose is.
And what's going on with my wardrobe, I need to break this tee shirt everyday thing. Granted I can rock a tee shirt I'm just tired of it. I have SO many more options of clothing to wear I just feel like I don't. Maybe because my career (or lack there of) isn't based off my looks anymore lol!

I guess someday I'll figure it out, hopefully some time soon. Words taken from some of my favorite boys (that are some of the above spoken party stories)

"Time takes us all
So why am I not just living for today
Time takes us all
Will I die right now, I'm only seconds away
Time takes us."

Hair there everywhere!!

So I've been learning a lot about my hair! How to take care of it, what to put in it, what not to put in it! I found a site I love about natural hair called Curly Nikky. The forums over there are like a hair bible to me lol, and they link to so many different places.
So for one contest she has it where you go in everyday and say what you've been doing. using, and general hair upkeep. I do write there a little everyday so far, I'm thinking of doing the same in this space too! My hair is getting super kinds of long and curly and I'm falling more and more in love with it!!

Boring!!!

I should be cleaning, but I'm always cleaning. I'm bored. So I was thinking of my blog space and thinking about how I always complain about how I don't use it. I was thinking I should start doing a daily photo look into my life. I literally take pictures everyday, some days are more boring than others, but it is what is is.

Today is me listening non stop to David Bowie. I had an avocado omelette when I got up this afternoon. I put on make up. I went to the post office.

Oh I dyed my hair yesterday, can you see my light colored roots!!!

boring!

2010, Twenty Ten, Two Thousand and Ten, 10'

What a start to the year!!! I hope it goes smoother than 2009, and as well as it's been going so far!! I feel like my biggest task for the year is going to be work, working, deciding when to go back to work, and if I actually want to work (at this point I do not!)
So I rang in the year in Washington DC with my 3eb family, a bunch of us from between NH and NJ...and of course the west coast meaning the guys themselves lol. Such a great time! It was weird being so dressed at a show but I love it! My pink shoes were a hit haha! Stupid me all this time didn't realize that they were actually 4 1/4" heels!!! I thought they were like 3"! I loved my dress but I could see in pictures where my laziness and hibernating since it got cold really showed! It still worked out but I guess my lazy butt can get up and do something about it. Oh my shoes also pinched a nerve in one of my toes and since it wasn't super major I shall wear them again lol! And if they do it again I can use a toe separator to take away some of the pressure.
