No one's on LJ anymore. Old is old, I guess. ;p

Yes, I'm a fangirl already. There are some updates on the website. Exciting! finalfantasyxiv.com

Have YOU been thinking about what character/class/hand and land you want to play?

I wanted to try something different with my hair. Ya know, I'm in cosmo school and I'm still young.. youngish anyway. I got an emo haircut.

What was I thinking?

Hair's still ash brown (5) so it just kinda looks funky. I still want to hit it up a platinum blond even though my skin tone probably can't pull it off... but just once, ya know, to see what it's like.

I can't really pull off a good emo look. Thought I could but, meh, be yourself, right, that's what it's about.

What is it with commercial stores skipping over the fall season to get right to the nitty gritty of Christmas shopping? I know there's a lot of importance at stake, especially with the economy, but there's no reason for Christmas items to be waved in our faces in September or October.

Halloween and Christmas do not mix, damnit!

I love Christmas and I love the feeling of joy and excitement it brings. I don't like having the hoilday pushed in my face by advertisers. It's not even Halloween yet! October is spooky month!!

Like at the Body Shop, something I like, we're anticipating the Christmas season, we're getting ready for any rush and even looking at a catalog at all the holiday specials we'll be getting for our customers. However, there's not one green and red bow, and no special holiday scents on the floor. We have African spices and American Pumpkin being advertised. Nice, warm, spicy scents and lotions.

It's autumn. Not winter. Let us enjoy the season as we should any other. After Halloween, sure, enjoy the new warmth of the holidays, let it build up.. but not in October.

Busy ass day. Working until 3pm, hurrying home to do a quick make over for myself... or bring make up with me to do at school... then to the dmv for a new license. School is early 'cause Jeremiah's taking me to the Elephant bar for my birthday.

... I so want to get smashed tonight. ^.^
I used some of my birthday monies on a new outfit. Black (so I can wear it at my new job, all black attire) but sexy. It's a sweater dress (yes, I KNOW sweater dresses are from last year's Fall/Winter trend but I still think they're sexy as Hell) and it goes really, really short. But I'm going to wear black leggings with it for conservativeness and .. well, so I don't look trash (when I say short I mean it's at my ass line ^.^ ). Then I picked up some hot, hot, hot! heeled boots. Comfy, too.

I might get a hair cut today at school, too. Not sure if I want a sophistacated straight fringe and long layers (did that once, looked great) or a side fringe with an heavy layered emo cut. Not sure if there'll be time.

Yeah, anyway.. there's my morning babble. >.> Entering chapter 25!

Today is a follow up review with The Body Shop. Ugh! I work until 3, so the interview's at 4. I couldn't find my Coastal Scents palette so I could do some eye make up on myself while at work. Speaking of, I can't find my blush or lip palette, either. Hm...

I could try to do my quick purple eyes. NYX black jumbo pencil for the base (love NYX!), lid with Ulta's Amasyst... however you spell it... it's a purple with some shimmer. The crease is another Ulta color, a deeper purple. The brow would be simply MAC's Vanilla (to contrast with the shimmer, makes the eyes look bigger), and the inner corner is a really pretty white Ulta color. It's a bit shimmery, so it makes my eyes pop out of all those dark purple colors.

Simple lip. Probably a wash of an Ulta red. More a rose than a true red, but washed so it doesn't stand out. Um.. I guess aka make my lips look naturally pigmented over color.

Contour (Ulta), blush a pinky-peach Sephora brand.

... and stuff...

Where was I? Work distracts me.

New FFXIV trailer.

So The Body Shop has called after about two months of nothing after my interview offering me a part time job. I'm happy for it, but they have to double check to see if my school schedule will fit. I told them to just make one like I don't work at the Fairfield.

And I'm not sure if the Fairfield will have me if I can only work part time but they will just have to deal with it. Career over money.

Anyway, we've had this lady come in looking at our meeting room. Turns out she's a Mary Kay Independent Sales Director. This morning I had a personal make over with her and she wants me to think about selling it myself.

Hm, selling Mary Kay, working at the Body Shop over Fairfield? Um, yes please. Then again, I sometimes have troubles meeting new people... but I'm a good sales woman.

Inner babbling right there. Whoot! I make sense.

Anyway, she wanted me to come back with a few friends and suggested Oct. 3rd. I'm like, that's be great, since I had to cancel my birthday trip plans to San Fran (I'm poor and Jeremiah can't get it off). And she's like "We'll make it your birthday party!"

So I already sent out some invitation via facebook for the Mary Kay birthday party. I think it'll be fun. I'm going to ask some girls at school, too.

We'll see, we'll see...

Had an interview with MAC today. After days of stressing, finding a model, then having to reschedule (due to MAC's side) and find a different model (friend of a former co-worker) I failed.

No, seriously, this was just a bland interview with a bad make up. *shakes head*

My nerves got the better of me.

There's always next time.

So, I'm on a Project Runway binge (it's actually not that good) and was thinking of what to do to follow up with MAC and had a dream about a make up contest. Of course, I was in the contest. ;p

It wasn't until the girls were lining up that I realized just what I was doing today. I did professional hair and make up for a bridal runway show. Where hundreds of people came to watch, not just once, but twice! (two shows)

I just kept thinking about the America's Next Top Model binge I was on a few weeks back. I would always watch the hairdressers and make up artists more than anything else. And now... I did it.

And I want to do it again!

I'm going to celebrate by having some me-time, finally, this week and go read at Starbucks with my favorite frappachio.

Per my last post, I made Jeremiah out to sould selfish.

He's not, he's studying hard at school to have a future and he's working to support himself the best he can.

But to add to that, me moving out wouldn't be against him. Like I said, I love him. Yes, LOVE him, but I think I need to spread myself out a little more on my own basis. It's more.. I'm being selfish.

... is almost over. Oh my goodness, I think I'm getting ill simply because of all the stress that's been going on with work, school and the bridal show.

Tomorrow's the bridal show, two runway walks, and I'm not expected to do as much as I first thought. I have my mannequin head here at work to practice some curls but that's about it.

The hotel has finally given me a proper schedule for the first time in 8 months. Mon-Fri 7am-3pm. If they keep this up I might be able to sneak in a weekend job. Oh, for a steady schedule.

School will hopefully be better with the stress off my back. I can concentrate and give myself some confidence after the bridal show.

WoW and FFXIV... I have to admit, I have no time for it and no money at the moment, but I'm not yet ready to give up mmos. I've some good friends out there I'd like to reconnect with and well, I love to RP. I'm actually really sad that Jeremiah's no a bit interested in the expansion.

... ah Jeremiah... who has a schedule all his own and sort of forgets that I exsist in time. He's going to over do it with work and school.. and is making plans to hang around Fresno.. and his parent's house for another year.

I'm not. While I'm stuck in Fresno due to school for at least a year and a half, I'm not going to do it wallowing in his folk's house. I've been looking around for a share/room. I might have found a few but you never know. *sigh* I don't want to leave him but this is MY life too. It feels like, though I'm independant now, I can't make my own decisions.

Doesn't mean I want to break up. Oh no, I love the guy, but I want my own life, and maybe need my own way for awhile. I made a comment to him awhile back that I seem to be dependant on him, when I'm usually a very independant person. I resist others telling me what to do even if it is the right thing somtimes simply for the fact that I want it MY decision.

*shakes head* I might be able to afford to move/share a room soon. We shall see...

Oh yeah.. FINALLY I'm going to San Francisco. I sort of just made it up and posted on facebook to some friends. I want to go to San Fran for my birthday, and I am, whether I go alone or with others. Luckily, the others want to come, too. Awesome. I already booked the room for Oct. 3rd. I'm so excited!

Welp, I'm going to get back to playing with my doll's hair.

... will be no longer.

Eh hem...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~

So the world we know as Azeroth will no longer be the stagnate place it was six years ago. The cataclysm has come and is taking what we know and tearing it apart.

Blizzard has announced the World of Warcraft's thrid expansion; Cataclysm. Ashenvale is taken by the orcs, Darkshore is flooded. The Barrens is ripped in two , Azshara is a low level area and Desolace is full of lush, green grasses.

The rumors are true, Goblins and Worgans join the playable races. Goblins on the Horde, Worgan on the Alliance. Donella's family already has a background with the Worgan, so this could be interesting.

There are also some class changes. Humans can be hunters, Night Elves mages, Dwarves shaman, Tauren priests and paladins and... what I've been wanting before I began to play. Troll Druids!

There was a mention of a unwater city, as with the artwork, so I'm assuming we'll get to fight the Lady Azshara. After reading the Night Elf trilogy, I'm really exciting to see what's become of her and her highborne.

It doesn't look like there's much out there for the high levels. At least not now, and it's only raised to 85.

My concern is that flying mounts will be allowed in Azeroth. Think of all the low level ganking. Although it's said they might restrict flight in some areas, so I'm hoping it'll lower the ganking.

Now... if only I had the time to play...

Not to mention, it's going to run in with FFXIV. Hm...

So I'm going to babble to try and stay awake.

Been thinking on FFXIV... and what character I want to play... already, yeah. ^.^ What? We all know I'm going to be a healer anyway, why not think of a fun genre of character to go with it?

Let's see here... There's a few fun options. One would a an Elvaan (yes, I know they're different names in FFXIV but I don't remember what they are and too tired to look it up. Besides, the work computer doesn't like handling the website) hunter perhaps? Archer, whatever.

A different type for me.. someone quiet and unopinionated. Ha! That'd be interesting. If anything, maybe one of those quiet, mysterious character that speaks only when needed, and holds her tongue. Very un-Donellaish which I think the LB might find amusing. ;p Most likely I'll keep with the LB when they move over. They seemed pretty cool with me coming back to the shell when I came back to FFXI a month or two back. It was nice.

Anyway, another option is.. heh, a priest! I know, so original for me! But ya know what, damnit! I'm a good healer. In fact, I'm an excellent healer. So ya know what? I'm going to start off as a healer! Take that non-healer believers!

(like I said, noooooot awake)

Most likely a hume-type character. I was having a fun idea of playing a male priest... traveling religous priest or something like that. Heh, yes, I like clergy, so sue me. I'm sure anyone in the LB will groan and go "Nooooo~"

I've never been fond of medical healers. *shivers* They're evil. Magic is much funner. If not a priest, I could come up with something else. A shaman or something. *shrugs* I don't even know the lore of FFXIV yet.

Another idea I had was one like Lacole, a BE I was playing for a little while with Chris. She was actually a fashion designer before the city was destroyed. She didn't go with the elves through the portal because she and her comrade where hidden elsewhere when they were retrieved. When they were rebuilding the city she saw how selfish her elite fashion friends were and decided to move on and try to do some good.

Anyway, might be fun to have a similar character. Maybe a mage/healer or something. We all know I gotta have my healing abilities. The attitude of Lacole was sort of quiet and cold, a bit emo and always sort of looked down on others. That was kind of fun, because she was trying to change her elite ways to be more.. humble. But, well, it's not easy making that change.

I was also playing around with the idea of a family member of the Donella/Euphina/Amoonth clan. I actually have a very extensive storyline after Donella left FFXI.

I.. want to go to sleep...

Cancelled WoW (again) and hopefully I won't have the urge to reinstate the game for sometime. Although new info will probably come out due to the fact that Blizzcon is just days away. But I shall resist... because I have no time.

I'd still prefer FFXI over WoW, if only the time allowed, but then again I do enjoy the lore more on WoW. Ugh, I dunno, they both have their good and their bad. I'll stick with Farmville on Facebook I guess. ;p Makes me want to play Havest Moon though. ^.^

FFXIV won't be too far along... I read there might be more room for casual players.

School.. Um, I might have to make up a few more days before I can get on the floor. I feel like I spend more time at Milan that in my own skin.

Yeah...>.> that makes sense...

I've been doing a little flipping out about the Bridal Show. I'm not sure what they expect. I actually picked up a neutral shadow palette and a 88 lipstick palette from a US seller. She has some fast delivery so I'll hopefully have it before the 23rd.

I should pick up some basic mascara and liners, just in case. Oh, and a painters palette (for sanitation of products) and a scraper.. thingy...

Ugh, money...

I'm not getting paid for it but think about the porfolio shots and the cards I could give out.

Eh hem, I'm assisting at a bridal show. 20 models. Hair and make up.

WHOOOOOOO~

Wow, I'm lame.

I was looking at BE lore when I realized Kael'thas is a boss in two instances. Magister's Terrace and a raid, The Eye. Funny that, I've defeated him in both instance and raid and it never dawned on me there's two of them. LOL

Everyone just needs to come on over and find me on facebook. ^.^

What an incredible weekend.
