Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Grumpy. ... The good thing was that I did make it to Arlington this week to see anniemal, and I did make it to rehearsal last night. The grumpificator: feeling too wobbly to make it to the concert I wanted to go to tonight, which also would have been a chance to meet a person on my friendslist. Feh. Grumpy. Annoyed at body. Yeah, yeah, good to rest up to maximize ease of getting to my gig on Saturday anyhow; still annoyed by limitations. :-P

Also feeling oppressed by my to-do list, and annoyed that while I've had the inclination to work a bit on those compositions I mentioned before, I haven't had the energy or attention span to get very far with them. New ideas for how to get past a roadblock; not enough spoons to implement the ideas. Argh. (Also a bit of annoyance at MIDI documentation inconsistent with MIDI implementation again.)

So to distract myself, memeage.

I've seen others refer to this as "the Girly Meme":

1. Do you have on a lot of make-up? Not a lot.
2. How much do you put on? Eyeliner, mascara, lipstick.
3. How long does it take you to get ready? Depends on how well I'm feeling -- sometimes about an hour, sometimes ten minutes from bed to front door.
4. Do you put on a lot of lipgloss? No lipgloss.
5. Does your lipgloss smell good? No lipgloss.
6. Do you carry a purse? Yes.
7. What color is it? Black.
8. Do you have Coach bag? No.
9. Do you have a Louis Vuttion? No.
10. How many purses do you have? Just the one, unless you count the belt pouch and haversack I use when I'm wearing medieval garb (the belt pouch doubles as a sporran when I wear a kilt).
11. Do you like to wear nailpolish? Like to, yes, but I haven't done so in ages because the guitar strings take it right off.
12. How often do you get your nails done? Roughly every three weeks, sometimes four, just to get the three nails that have acrylic on them filled in or for emergency repairs. They're my guitar picks.
13. Do you like manicures? I probably would, but haven't tried.
14. What about pedicures? Yes -- the sheepie insisted on my getting a pedicure once, and I did like it. But I haven't felt I could spare the money for another since.
15. Do you have a usual nail salon you go to? Yes ... and I'm usually disappointed when I resort to a different one (though there are two others that also do a good job).
16. Where do you get your hair cut? I haven't gotten my hair cut in a long time I think a friend did it the last time.
17. Do you dye your hair? No, but I've thought about bleaching it to red on occasion. Would that freak people out if I did it?
18. Do you straighten your hair? No.
19. Do you have lots of pairs of shoes? What counts as "lots"? I've got... uh ... the suede-look black pumps (chunky heel, tiny opening at the toe), the patent-look black six-inch stillettos, the just-plain-leather-look black low pumps, the flats I wear when I'm pretending to be in boy-mode, the heeled boots that need to go to a cobbler for repairs, the flat boots that are unsexy but useful for shovelling the sidewalk, the Medieval Moccasins I wear with garb or my kilt, the backup pair of Medieval Moccasins, and a few pairs of falling-apart house-slippers. The red pumps and the silver sequined pumps wore out, alas. I think I need more shoes, myself.
20. What are your favorite shoes? Right now, the suede-look black pumps (despite the chunky heel).
21. Do you wear heels everywhere? Uh ... for the purposes of this meme, close enough. Not literally everywhere. If I'm "dressing boy", having a really bad day knee/ankle-wise, or in garb or a kilt, I wear flats. If I'm just staying around thehouse, I just wear slippers. Most of the time people see me out, I'm wearing heels.
22. Can you walk in heels and not fall over? Ayup.
23. Where do you buy your clothes? I haven't had money for clothes sopping in far too long ... *sigh*
24. Do you go shopping every week? Uh, no. (See previous question.)
25. What's your favorite store? Not sure. Appalachian Bluegrass, perhaps. (Well the question didn't specify clothing store ...)
26. How much do you usually spend? Insufficient recent data for a meaningful answer.
27. Have you ever been in Dior? No.
28. Do you follow fashion trends? Notice, sorta; mimic, no; take advanage of when what I like happens to become available again ... if I have any money that month.
29. Do you have a pair of huge sunglasses? No.
30. How many pairs of earrings do you have? Uh ... I'm not sure. A bunch. Lately I've mostly been wearing the same four pairs, but sometimes I like a change.
31. Do you wear hoop earrings? Occasionally. When I'm feeling like making a statement but have no idea what I want to say, I wear REALLY BIG hoops.
32. Do you have a lot of skirts? Yes. And only one pair of slacks.
33. Do you get your eye brows done? No.
34. Can you apply mascara without opening your mouth? I had to wait until the next time I put makeup on to notice whether I opened my mouth or not -- I don't. I forgot to take note of whether I do so to put on eyeliner though. (I don't think I open my mouth for that either. But I tried it and I see why one would.)
35. Do you wear a lot of eyeliner? I don't think it's a lot. And "not a lot" is the effect I'm aiming for. But I'm not entirely certain whether I'm hitting that target or not.
36. Do you do Pilates or yoga? No, but I've been meaning to look into Yoga for quite a while; an ex-girlfriend showed me some positions that ought to be helpful to me that I need to make sure I'm doing right.
37. Do you have alot [a lot] of magazines? A few -- mostly professional magazines that give me complimentary subscriptions. Once upon a time I could afford a lot of science magazines as well...
