Just Some Rambling

It's been a bit since I've posted here, so I figured I'd just sort of talk about whatever comes to mind. Well, for one, I've fallen into a horrible abyss of costume/horror makeup. Just earlier today, I spent about one and a half to two hours working on broken doll makeup, after drawing a broken doll. I keep watching various YouTubers (namely Klairedelys and Madeyewlook--Check them out, seriously!) But, there's a few issues with this. Naturally, I want to try something like their stuff.
But.

 

I don't have much money to guy buy all the sort of supplies I need (at this point mainly being lipsticks, lipliners and either grease paint or face/body paint). Well, I have some money. But some of that has already been dedicated to pre-ordering Rick Riordan's The Sword of Summer which comes out in October.

I haven't mentioned it, but I'm a huge Rick Riordan freak. I've been reading his books since I was assigned Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief  in the fourth grade and haven't exactly stopped since. I've been pre-ordering the special Barnes and Noble editions every year since the sixth grade and I certainly am not letting myself drop the habit just because this is the Norse series and not Greek/Roman.

That aside, I only have (at most) $15 for Halloween makeup. As I plan to be Harley Quinn, I need specific items that don't exactly correspond with the other things I want, and I certainly don't want to ask my mom to pay for it all considering we're a bit tighter on cash than usual, and she'll be paying somewhere close to $70 for my costume alone. So, I'm just a tad disappointed with it all will probably wait for Christmas to get all of the things I want and do a ton of our of season horror looks, much to my disappointment.

This is why I need a job...But first I need a permit and a license and a car. And then hope I can manage to find someone who will hire a seventeen year old with no experience when I know for a fact there are adults in this town who are homeless with families and need the money much more than some needy teen who just wants money for costumes and makeup.

Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually.

Have a good day and dream those dreams,
