I'm trying to move delicately into that stage of my life where I experiment with makeup -- yeah, what up, I'm twenty-four and I don't know how to put on makeup -- which at this point in time mostly involves me putting on lip shimmer when I go into town.

It kind of freaks me out how different I look with just a little bit of color on my lips. (I'm using Burt's Bees lip shimmer in raisin, for reference. I like it, though when they're back in stock at Freddy's I'm going to try something a little lighter and pinker.) I look like...an actual adult? Although it helps that I switch to a different pair of glasses, since right now I'm still wearing my lower prescription except when I'm driving, and my other pair has chunky red frames that are more attention-grabbing than my black wire frames for my wear-at-home glasses. And then I'm like, well, I went this far, I might as well throw on some earrings too. So it's like: lip shimmer, red glasses, earrings, maybe a couple of bobby pins to smooth down the flyaways in my hair I usually don't bother with at home. And then I look like an actual adult and it kind of freaks me out, because it shouldn't make that much of a difference. WITCHCRAFT.

So much sympathy. I'm twenty-five, still don't regularly use makeup, and still get twitchy at how much my appearance changes with concealer and lipstick when I'm trying to look "professional". It really is freaky!

I'm nearly thirty (my birthday is in October) and I still feel like it's witchcraft when I put on something of a face and do something to my hair.

Oh hey running through my comments and replies in Gmail and I was struck with something. Do you have a way to get to your new home from the airport or is family coming with you and the like?
