I realized I really miss blogging and I can't possibly expect that my life in Minnesota will hoard nearly as many blog hits and followers as my life in Australia. Therefore, a blog about my life is just an invitation to get my hopes up and have them smashed to pieces.

No thanks.

So in the spirit of entertaining, I'm going to start sharing just the funny parts of my day, the parts that remind me that life is comical and even Mondays, laundry days and bad hair days are opportunity-to-laugh-days.

Sunday, September 23 (2012)!!!

Well, last night I went to an Australian reunion/shindig dressed as a man. Let me stop first and just say that I'm discovering my own weird complex when it comes to my choices for dressing up. I don't know if it's my personality, my body type, my dissatisfaction with my own gender, or a combination of the three, but I always dress up as a man. For Halloween 2010, I went as an old man. The year after I showed up as Eminem. Last semester for a school project, I dressed up as Vinny from Jersey Shore. I hope you're starting to see the pattern developing here. Well, last night I brought Vinny back. If you've never seen Jersey shore, you 1) are the luckiest person alive and 2) do not know that Vinny is known for his dark eyebrows, which we tried to reproduce with a significant amount of eyeliner.

Men, if you didn't know, eyeliner was never meant to be permanent. I went to bed with that stuff still on my face, which I realize was my first mistake but...this morning as I surveyed myself in the mirror, I knew it had to come off. Combined with the living being on my head that we'll just call messy hair, I looked like a cavewoman from those Geico commercials. It wouldn't come off. As I was sitting there scrubbing so hard the hairs were coming out of my brow, I was having nightmares and visions of showing up to class the next morning with eyebrows that were not just dark, but huge and weirdly angular too.

I did finally get them out. I look like my normal human self again. Since I'm in the clear, I'll just go ahead and say it was pretty funny.

<3 laugh a little,
