oh god this sounds like my ex

I have a weird genius bar story!

I finally got around to starting The Book of Strange New Things, and I’m excited to dive in when I get some free time. I was totally disinterested in it based on the Amazon summary, but I read a blurb that made it sound like my favorite book (embassytown by china miéville, which everyone needs to read) so I’m giving

I have pretty frizzy/catchy hair, and I’ve never had a problem. You brush your hair out and start with it wet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am so enthusiastic about this blow dryer, because it has changed my life. My LIFE.

I get messages on OKC all the time that say things like “I actually don’t think you’re curvy” or “you don’t seem like a nerd to me” followed by winky faces/smiles. It’s like, wow, thanks for taking two positives from my profile and letting me know you think they’re horrendous afflictions.

I think my dad was ~24 when this was taken, and had just started dating my mom.

I’m not a dude and this is not the deodorant I use. However, I can confirm that it works and that it makes people close enough to smell you want to climb you like a tree.

I’m someone who’s really tried to go the non-anti-perspirant route, even though research on the safety of antiperspirants is pretty up in the air tbh, but when it’s not the dead of winter I just can’t do it. I hate having visible sweat on my clothes, smelly or otherwise.

I went to a special college when I was 16 and decided to transfer after two years to somewhere with a bigger name. It was a huge mistake, and I hated it. The students at the “real” college were immature assholes and the professors all either didn’t give a shit or clearly wanted to impale themselves for all the sheer

I’ve never been able to figure out eyeliner. I put it on my waterline and use powder-as-liner on the upper lid sometimes, but for some reason I’m at a total loss when it comes to the eyeliner that everyone else does. None of the tutorials help. I’d blame shaky hands, but I successfully taught myself to do a damn good

I think I was like 12, and I was walking from a show in NYC back to NJ transit with my parents. I was wearing a mini skirt and a tank top, and I don’t remember how I became aware of the male gaze that was suddenly upon me — maybe one guy actually cat called me, maybe one of my parents pointed it out.

I had a really terrible first dance.

My worst tipping-related experience: I had a really big, colorful tattoo done — about 9 hours of work and over $1000. After my first session I didn't have a ton of extra cash with me (and I knew I was coming back) but I also didn't see the point in getting change back when I paid, so I told her to keep it. She said

Like I said in my own rec, I generally just go with cheap drugstore mascara...but Benefit is *definitely* the way to go if you want to spend more. The new Roller Lash is really good, too.
