light and flakey, like a croissant

A perfect example of how much of a doofus I can be sometimes:

I'm standing in the ladies room at work, staring in the mirror. And there's something wrong about my face that I can't quite puzzle out. So, I'm standing there staring at myself. Something's wrong. Something's...different. What the fuck is it?

Suddenly, it hits me.

I forgot to put eyeliner on this morning.

Oh silly girl, you say! That's not such a big thing. However, I wear eyeliner every single day. It is as familiar to me as my own skin. I am also a creature of extreme habit. When I do my makeup in the morning, it very ritualised and always in the same order. I never deviate from this pattern.

So, I somehow phased out of reality for a short while and completely forgot that step.

To make matters worse, it makes me look like I'm about twelve years old.

*sigh*

heh.. i never bother with makeup for work, so if i have something to do afterwards, I will usually put some on during the day.

Once, someone said, "you look different today... what is it? Oh! you have makeup on! Wow, you could be pretty if you wanted to be, you know..."

Yes. Well. Screw you too.
