unfortunately, to draw hearts in my eyes would be to cliche.

so i've reconsidered where my teenage job will be located at.

best buy.

heaven, baby. heaven! it has movies and music and electronics galore, and to think, if you worked there, you would most likely get a discount on all merchandise. all the movies and music you wanted, o. my. gosh.

plus.
okay, yeah, i did notice how many cute guys are at best buy. have you noticed there are way more decent guys there than at the mall? pff! isn't that something. so not only will i get discounts on my favorite stuff, but be able to look at cute guys all day. *sigh*

I actually feel beautiful.

haley, amanda, and i went to a nice mall today that was more oriented towards adult, sophisticated fashions (but not something like lenox or fifths avenue). haley is this like magician with makeup (seriously, i'm not even kidding), so she took us to the mac and perfume counter at macy's to get glammed up.

we first went around the perfume counter and sampled all of them. of course, i have to get a couple sprits of daisy, and amanda really liked the harajuku lovers stuff. haley likes some prada perfume, but they didn't have it out for sampling (probably because it's uber expensive, haha :D).

then we went to the mac counter, where haley set to work on me. she used this glistening eye shadow and eyeliner, and then this lip makeup (i'm actually not sure what it was, gloss or lipstick...), but it was a little intense, so i wiped that off. i kept the eye makeup, and just gawked at haley's handiwork. then she did amanda, and then herself.

haley said i actually looked pretty, and so did amanda.
i liked how she brushed my cheek bones with this glittery stuff. it looks really nice.

so then, we went to the food court to catch up with my mom, then to dsw shoes, where we tried on heels and boots for fun. i found these really, really pretty ones that i loved and just walked around. and then boots, and i couldn't take them off they were so comfy.

we went back to the mac counter because we decided to buy some, and haley said she was proud of me for spending something on myself this holiday season. xD

i got brown eyeliner, which looks similar to the red one haley used initially for my look. she used eyeshadow, but i figured i wouldn't be able to afford the shadow and the brush, so i didn't get it.

but, i actually feel beautiful. like, for once in my life, i feel confident about my facial features. does makeup do that to you or is it just me? so sad how i feel so brave, but have nowhere to go with this look. but i love it.

i feel strong.

creeeeeeeperrr.....

okay, so there's this guy named tay.
he's a white gangster.
yeah, you know those kids? yeah, i try to avoid them.

so anyway, he's actually pretty funny, but i keep my distance. during the classroom eliminations for the spelling bee, he and i were in the last two, and we battled quite heatedly, and i won. he's a good sport, and congratulated me for winning.

since he is runner-up, he goes to the school spelling bee too. the spelling bee was today, but yesterdy, while i walk past him in lunch, he says, "spelling bee's tomorrow." :grin

what could i do? be mean? i wished him good luck with a smile.

then today, during the spelling bee, he asks me where all the eighth graders were (since he and i were the only ones so far), and i just kind of sat next to him, but not really? i didn't want to be mean, since he hadn't done anything to me.

so then, the competition. woo-hoo, last like four. he got out, so he was on the ground level, below the stage, and he asked me if i was nervous. i said i was shaking, trying to be friendly (almost too friendly).

i win. so during the pictures, he walks up to me, says congratulations in my ear, and wraps his arm around me.

i must say, i did like it. i like hugs.
but don't touch me, you creeper! i hardly know you. :|||
