So, the fourth season of Pretty Little Liars is on Netflix now, just as the fifth season is starting on TV. It kind of bugs me, because I'm watching it on TV, and also on Netflix, because I'm a season behind, and it's like "Surprise! Allie is alive, which was probably the whole point of season 4! But you haven't seen the whole season yet! So you have no idea what's going on! Ha ha ha ha HA!" And I'm trying to watch all of season 4 before I get too far into season 5, but those are all like 40 minute episodes, and to be honest, it seems like each episode is just the same old problems as before, but with Spencer finding out a new bit of information each episode that doesn't seem to be useful. But what do I know. I'm on episode 7.



So. Tired. But. It's. Too. Hot. To. Sleep. Blarg.

If you think someone is too sensitive, does that mean you are justified in making them cry? If you know they're sensitive, is it okay if you try to make them cry? Nope. It just means that you are and will always be an awful and self-centered person.

Recital tonight. I'm so nervous, I could barf.

I just got back from my dance recital dress rehearsal. I spent six straight hours at a place filled with giggly three-to-seven-year-old girls, rude girls on the competition team, and a few moderately friendly people slightly younger than me who aren't on the competition team. The only point of dress rehearsal is to give you a chance to rip up your brand-new tights two days before the real recital. Most of the people who go to see the recitals are there, and they expect you to put on full makeup, so I don't really get the point of having both a dress rehearsal and a recital. I have tomorrow off, though, so I don't have to do anything for dance, which is a relief.

So I found this recipe online for making your own lip gloss. I thought it was pretty cool, and decided to give it a try. I had to use what I could find in my house, because I can't drive, and my parents don't like to drive. So, I used Vaseline (petroleum jelly), some mint extract, and shavings from an old lipstick. For a lip gloss container, I used a craft-store bottle cap from a previous craft adventure. In my pic, you can see the finished lip gloss in the bottle cap, a pipette I used to put in the mint extract, and the old lipstick I used for color. Results: it looks pretty good, and has an intense color from the lipstick. It smells really good, too, and the petroleum jelly makes it shiny. But it tastes like crap, and it's a little torturous for it to smell so good and taste awful. But that's how life works. I'll probably use this when I need a little color. It's not very long-lasting, and because of the petroleum jelly, it's a little messy to put on with fingers, so I'll definitely have to use a mirror, but I think it's pretty good for a first try.

Going to bed, so goodnight! xox

I just got a typewriter from my g-ma! She had a friend who was going to throw it away. So, it's a little broken. The apostrophe key doesn't work, and the correction tape key doesn't do anything, so all of my mistakes are out in the open, but it's still super cool, and so totally 80s. I tried it out a little, and it's pretty nifty. But putting it together was so funny. Because I have no idea how to put together a typewriter. I thought the ribbon was a cassette tape. When I pressed enter for the first time, the arm shot out and knocked my water over. So when I say "funny", I mean sad and totally embarrassing. It's obvious I'm a 90s child, right?

So I was on Instagram and I notice that there are some pics of people from school hanging out at restaurants and at the beach and stuff, and literally, instead of feeling left out like a normal person would, the first thought that came into my head was, "What? They're not allowed to do that. You can't just talk to people that you go to school with during summer. That's not how it works."

So that's the story of me losing touch with reality over summer break. It's only the second day, so be prepared for even worse insanity as summer goes on.
