School is busy and I’m getting into experimenting with eyeshadows lately. My anniversay is this weekend and Xavier turns One-Uno-Ichi-years old in a month.

So first thing’s first: School

This semester I’ve only been taking Japanese and save for next week’s multiple finals (written, oral interview, hearing/interpretation, and A/V Presentation) I’m almost done. lol It’s a lot to cram into three days and I am SERIOUSLY nervous. I will perservere.

Next semester I will take four courses because this time I am using financial aid. I’ll be taking:

• Creative Writing
• Human Geography
• Psychology
• Math

I’m not looking forward to Math or Psych, but maybe they won’t bore the piss out of me. I’m hopeful. I predict an A in all but the Math and Psych. I might get an A in Math, but I think I’ll definitely get a B in that and Psych.
I’m really excited about Creative Writing because– well, duh! Human Geography is just interesting to me. I love learning about people– culture and history.

Oh and note that I’ll be taking these courses online. Yep, even Math. This is so I can be home with Xav and give mi madre a break from baby-sitting. Because of this, I’ll be implementing a strict schedule for both of us. I’ll be offline as much as possible to make sure I don’t get sucked into Make Up Geek and web games.

Onto make-up… I have a decent bit of stuff. Some MAC, NARS, Becca, Smashbox and of course NYX. I swear by Maybelline for liquid liner and mascara. I always use Revlon Softflex liquid foundation under my MAC Studio Fix Powder when I want flawless skin.  I am currently awaiting my BeautyFactory 120 Eyeshadow palette from Hong Kong. It should be here by Monday ( I think). When it comes, I reckon I’ll do a photo/video review by the end of the week since class will be over after Wednesday. I’ve joined MakeUpGeek.com because it’s fun to share tips and tricks with other people. I’m excited about doing my version of a Peacock or Rainbow eye once my palette arrives.

Okay, kiddos, it’s late and I wanna cuddle the hubby so adios!

I believe gay marriage should be legalized, but that doesn’t mean she has to agree with me.

She should have been judged solely on how well she articulated her point of view. She was clear and respectfully stated her disagreement.

Why is it that in this country freedom of speech is only okay if you LIKE something? This country is TOO concerned with being PC. When you ask someone’s opinion, all you can really ask is that they state it as politely as possible.

Agree to disagree and move on.

 I haven’t posted about the wedding yet. I’m so slow. Well here’s a little somethingThe Ceremony

This was nifty. We got there a little late. The MUA got lost and ended up in NJ on her way to my place. I know where she got turned around, so I get it, but it still sucked. We didn’t have time to do my fake lashes, but I guess I looked okay because my mom told her she did a great job.

So anyway, the ceremony was cool. One of my co-workers even came to watch. Actually, a lot of people we didn’t know watched as well. The joy of Valley Green. We had a non-denominational officiant named Linda/Rukmini. She reminds me a lot of Sue, so that’s nice. We even had her do Corinthians 13 in lolcat. It was amusing and fun and I giggled the whole time. “Wif dis ring, I can has matrimony.”
The Reception

We had fun dancing and all. I had to sit down a lot, but I found time to spin. My feet were so swollen I had to wear the white flip flops instead of th shoes I picked out. No biggy. I bought it all on the cheap. On the plus side, the flip flops fit comfortably. Erik and I danced to “Rose of My Heart” by Johnny Cash as our first song. Then later we danced to “So Happy Together” by the Turtles. We has our songs. It was good. My aunt Gina came from Georgia which was great. We were all dancing and stuff. I kept having to take breaks, and my feet hurt like hell afterward, but it was my wedding day so it was worth it.

Only two things went wrong or annoyed me.

1. Some no-shows as if weddings are cheap ($240 wasted)

2. VG somehow screwed up the seating and we had to fix a thing or two.

All in all, it was great. People we wanted there were able to come. There’s others we couldn’t invite so that sucked, but whatever. We’re not made of money and I’m sure people know if it were less costly we’d have had more people there. It’s a given.

Honeymoon tidbits later.

Sometimes I get annoyed with myself over things that bother me. There’s things that happen that don’t go away, but are dealt with. That’s why people have PTSD and develop social disorders. It’s a shame when you’re in the right rational mind to KNOW that lightning doesn’t have to strike twice. It’s just hard to get the emotional mind that point sometimes. Like how I don’t walk over the grates on the sidewalk because I had a nightmare that I fell in one, broke my ankle, was trapped and died. I tripped over my own feet once and stumbled onto one– causing an embarrassing anxiety issue. That was the only time I was actively afraid I was definitely going to fall in. Most times I’m just like, “Ahhh don’t walk on that!”

Anyway. There’s a couple of things in my life I’d like to forget so I can feel like an undamaged parcel. I feel like I’m always being careful and it takes so much energy sometimes. I don’t like feeling this way. It makes me want to go back on meds but I really don’t want to. I don’t want to be a person who needs to be medicated. I want that PTSD pill. Or hypnosis. Bah.
