Just wow. I’m sure others are gone still. But I’ve missed using this site.

So hello again whoever is around.

If you like violence, and females that kick ass, I'd watch Black Bullet. It's rated 17+ so it makes it all the more awesome given that it features especially bloody kick ass scenes, but it doesn't over-do violence. I also appreciate the style, music, and plot too. It's on Hulu if you want to stream a high definition video of it.

One of the better months of the year, and home to a great and fantastic holiday~ Halloween~ *cues ‘This is Halloween’ song*

Anyways, Happy Halloween and I’ve reached my goal in writing despite life obstacles kicking my ass. *kicks obstacles in the face*

Finally pushed past 70K words on “The Imagination is a Powerful Thing” I might change the title. But if you want to peek at it, it’s on Wattpad and Fictionpress.

P.S. I really really want this shirt. 

So I have oily/combination skin. The middle part of my forehead, nose, chin, and skin around my nose are super oily/sweaty most of  the time while the other areas are drrrrryyyyy.... So I’ve been messing around with concoctions lately since I can afford to.

I want to mention one that I super liked, but hated the after effects. I’m talkin’ about Milk of Magnesia. Some people on the inter webs swear by it, for fashion shows, brides, theater, photo shoots ect... Some people wear it for everyday wear, kudos to them.

My take-away: It works. It keeps make-up matte, and even in the hot weather, or humid weather, or hot and humid weather, it makes the skin appear normal, and make-up last for 12 plus hours. That's right! At least it did for me. Also I loved that my eye shadow colors POPPED.  However.... once you clean your face and a day or two passes you get some pretty big blemishes. My pimples are usually a certain size, like the width of two sewing needles. But after using Milk of Magnesia for a Primer, I had pimples the width of a pencil eraser, also I had like 7 of them. Whoa.

So if you want a primer that will help make-up stay in place for 10+ hours, and don't mind blemishes that will occur later, then go ahead and use this "beauty hack".

All I wish for is that they make something similar to this, that won't cause a break out afterwards. Oh well, gonna keep on experimenting.

Question: Have you ever had thoughts of running away/leaving your current life and have truly considered it?

Answer: I did when I was 22. I seriously wanted to quit my full-time job, become a barista for a coffee shop. I also started to budget too, and looked for alternative places to live to support the barista life style--I would move out of my $800 a month apartment (with $300 a month bills), and move to a dinky, $450 a month apartment, and live with no cable, basic internet, and use a fan instead of running the air conditioner. Then I realized there is a hefty fine for quitting my job ($4000) and decided to stick with it. I'm still at the same job, but sometimes I have fleeting thoughts of going abroad to work. I have a cousin, and a friend who taught/teach in South Korea and make much more money than I do--and, they enjoy working there.

Most People: Why are you so calm all the time? I could never be that calm.

Me: That's strange because, I am actually super nervous most of the time. I guess my face needs work.

How I look on the Outside: 

How I feel on the Inside: AHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't written on Tumblr in over a year. I'd like to say it's been because of my life being full of awesome stuff and fantastic things--some of those stuff and things were--but mostly it was because I've been overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with work mostly. Money secondly, bills, moving out of an apartment to a house to share with a roommate. By the way, if you have the cash--I'd stick with living alone. But that's just me, I'm more solitary I guess. There are positives to having a roommate, and I'm sticking with staying with a roommate because I'm able to save at least $200 each month. It's nice saving money! So strangely, I've been using that money to spend on myself. Whoa! Right? Well mostly, I did help bail my mother out of jail last month. So that cost $800. But at least I'm not set so far back where I can't pay bills.

I'm hoping to post more often, since I've been posting weekly pictures on the photography website 500pix, and posting weekly chapters of my newest story "The Imagination is a Powerful Thing", which has over 70,000 words. It's almost done being written! I've shared the first 15 chapters, which is about 20K words on Wattpad and Fictionpress.

Anyways, I hope to gain back my old tumblr followers (are you around?) If not then new peeps is fine too. :)

Here’s a picture I took of the pretty sky:

Not having to work today so I feel like: 

But then family is visiting so I just went to:

Hey now, what's that sound? Everybody is looking down. But the world is calling out to you.

Hey now, what that sound? Everybody's looking around. The world is calling out to you.

Wind soars pass the bubble. That you keep yourself locked in. Away from the wind.

Watch now, don't stop now. Just let that little bubble break. And you'll open up to the world.

Oh the sound, the universe is singing. Love, sweet love, you can't stop it now. With the world calling you. You can't call back. You'll try and try. But you only make a, tiny sound. A tiny sound.

Free food?! On my birthday too?! AWESOME! LOL. It was a three course meal :D. The iced coffee was delish! xD.
