Mirth and Melancholy

I was just on Facebook watching this makeup tutorial. Guys, makeup is so weird. First you try to make your whole face one color. Then you want to mess that up by adding light and dark spots. Then you want to nearly POKE your eyes out while applying eyeliner to the waterline (makes me CRINGE!) and possibly pull out your eyelashes while curling them. What does it feel like to have makeup on your face? I don't think it would work for me, guys. Also since I sweat a lot, the makeup would run. I'll stick to my lipbalm and face lotion. Since it was Columbus Day yesterday, I didn't have babysitting. So I spent most of the day talking to my BFF (who sadly does not live in the same city or state as I) who didn't have school and was babysitting some kids. She sends me a bunch of voice messages which I always find myself laughing at even though half the time I don't understand what she's saying or what's going on. KEEP IT UP, MAR! And unfortunately, she is now at sc...

NOTE TO SELF: We need more baking butter and baking powder. Hello guys! I made a lot of epic fails yesterday! In the morning, I stressed over a writing assignment that isn't even part of my curriculum. I had to write 500 words about two friends who came together during or after a difficult time. It was due at 11:59 pm, and I had NO IDEAS. I don't know why I always say I'm creative. I'm not. Every story I write has to be fantasy or real-life fiction. I can't make things up. Though I must admit, my fantasy is pretty awesome. But my fantasy is always about talking animals. It's hard for me to write fake stories about PEOPLE. It's always gotta be fake stories about fake things. Anyway, I completed the assignment and submitted it, suspecting that the peers who had to critique it were gonna judge me. Then, I showered too close to my babysitting time and didn't tell Dad ahead of time that I had to babysit today, leading to a lot of fails. Mama got mad a...

HOORAY FOR OCTOBER!!! 🍁🍂🎃 My Michaels' class days are over, and honestly, the class I benefited from mostly was the arm knitting. It can be done with any thickness of yarn, but I prefer the fat yarn because it fills up the scarf more. And now that I know how to arm knit, I can probably figure out how to knit with the needles, too. Here's the cowl/infinity scarf we made in arm knitting class. Also, I've been drawing a lot of pictures lately, mostly chalk pastel art (with Z). My sketchbook is probably half-filled now.  Here's what I've been doing... (If you follow me on Pinterest or you're my friend on FB, you've probably already seen these. But if you haven't, enjoy) Okey, erm. My birthday was three days ago. I'm three years to twenty! Thank you to all the luvvable buddies who sent me birthday wishes!  On Friday, I went to jumuah prayer. I bought my two friends SA and MA ice cream at the masjid bookstore. I bought one for S too, and Sour Patch Ki...
