Finding blogworthy moments in unblogworthy times

I've noticed that the reason I was able to blog so much last year was because my life was a huge chapter in Idiot Girls' Action Adventure Club. I wasn't the happiest in 8th grade, and though suffering does make for some good blogging, and I do sometimes miss those posts, I don't miss them enough to make myself miserable.

On the contrary, being in high school this year has been a well-needed breath of fresh air. Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the second quarter, and I have yet to proclaim my scheme to drop out of school. That usually happened in the first two or three weeks for the last two years. Halloween was always the limit where I tried to adjust by, but now it's just another milestone.

Even in the better days, there are some moments that are worthy to go online, and today seemed to be one of Those Days.

Ever since Beauty and the Beast, I've had this bottle of liquid foundation that, though too heavy to smear all over your face, is perfect for concealer. Well...was, anyway. I was using it today and was putting it away and completely missed my makeup caddy on the door, and it fell SMASH on the floor.

Naturally, it sprayed out a fair bit of Classic Ivory all over the floor. Trying to clean up foundation is like cleaning soap or paint---if you get it off one surface, it sticks onto another. It got all over the sponge I used to clean it off the floor, then on the sink when I picked up all the pieces...on and on.

I tried to salvage some of it, nicking myself on a piece of cut glass in the process. I found an empty travel soap box and used a Q-tip to scoop gops of the foundation in...it wasn't worth it. If there's any glass in it, I'm going to be seriously mad.

Time to get new concealer!
