MAC lipstick in sweetie aka leap day.

<--my sister got me this shade for my birthday a few weeks ago(i know, more about that soon). ive long considered myself unimpressed by lustre finish, but more often than not lately, i really, really like a few of them. this is a nice medium sheerish glossy pink, and it actually wears more than twenty minutes. nice choice, Jenn! i've let myself mourn my good boy for exactly a month today, and i think it's time to start getting back to some semblance of a life. i got back in touch with one of my exes and we started a decent friendship again, which sounds pretty silly, in hindsight. i stopped painting and drawing for almost three weeks and became really interested in sleeping. it's been a pretty pathetic time, to be honest. i had dreaded the thought of celebrating my birthday on the 22nd, and my interest in my job was next to non-existent. LUCKILY--last week was beautiful. my birthday was actually a really nice day and everyone around me went out of their way to make it fun, and the weather has stayed unseasonably decent. i'm sort of interested in my job again(as much as i can be, anyway. i wont be there forever, at least)and i finally started to sketch again instead of not sleeping(and listening to old bob seger and joni mitchell records while im not sleeping). maybe leap year wont be so bad, and to be honest, even though i had a seizure and am blogging from bed(ha!), leap day hasnt been so bad so far, either.

i watched the video for living dead girl on youtube and i was obsessed with recreating rob zombie's reanimated girl painting. it's not as good as his, but it'll do for now.

i watched the little mermaid too, haha.

im currently in the mood for fro-yo and shopping...but i gave personal shopping up for Lent too(i gave up a lot for Lent, i'll be honest. kid is on a redemption journey here), and im sort of tired from aforementioned convulsive tantrum before, so i think i'll drink a smoothie and NOT listen to mopey records for a while.
