Denying the Holidays
This year, I am vehemently denying the holidays. Being in sunny California and not working in a mall or retail environment has convinced me that it is still summer. I hate any reminder that Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. I even change the channel if a Christmas commercial comes on TV! Today, as I was driving around in the balmy LA sunshine, I was thinking how torn I am. Honestly, I do not want to live in LA, but at the same time I am not looking forward to the drive home, the climate getting colder the further I drive. But then I think about winter coats, and fur hats, and darker makeup, and of course seeing all of you again, and it makes me happy. Everything is well here, school is getting harder. We had a really long week, late nights and Saturday, and we are all getting on each others nerves a little bit. Yesterday we learned how to cover (or "block") eyebrows to achieve a 20's or 30's look. It was great, so much fun. We all looked like strange little old ladies or aliens running around before we drew in new eyebrows, it was hilarious! We are all starting to really miss home, and sometimes we get all mopey about it. But I am still having a great time, the shopping is excellent, everyone should feel more positive about LA, it's really not bad!

To Crystal. From Qmedtrix.
Heather and Viktoria sit and stare out the window, wishing you were there.
But you are busy doing hair.
Or Make Up.
We feel like we have been involved in a break up.
Come home soon, it is not so cold. Don't believe what you've been told. And a lack of eybrows couldn't make you look old. Just bold.
Oh good lord. That was a truly a thing of beauty. And by the way, I would never breakup with you, that would make me so blue.
you know, you're right, and i'm not just saying this because i'll be living there soon, but la is NOT that bad. there is something oddly liberating about it, no?
