Life After False Eyelashes
It's November already, oh my god! Halloween weekend has come and gone.. it was a good one- looking back to last year, I didn't know then that I would be in Juneau once again, but I think it's a good place to be.. This town, and more specifically this school gets way more into the spirit than other places I've been. Friday night was Rocky Horror night, and so I ended up in a crazy mish mash of clothes that centered around some gym short shorts I found at the thrift shop- Alot of skin, but over all very comfortable... I borrowed my sister's wig, and got so attached to it that I wore it saturday night as well.. I got alot of comments to go pink and short for real, but I don't know if that's happening anytime soon.. I'm such a scaredy cat for changing appearances, but I'll keep it in mind if I get the urge to cut my hair. Saturday night I was a stripper mummy... so less mummy wraps and the wig and eyelashes still fit it. We went to the school dance, and then to a party. It was good times, much laughs and dancing- I stayed at a friend's house and when we woke up sunday it was like christmas morning.. everyone was at the house, we cooked a big breakfast, and put music on and it was just so pleasant! Got an extra hour of sleep- (although it means the dark is creeping in) After hanging around a while I went out to the glacier with brady and my brother- I didn't have any clothes other than what I had been wearing, so even though I was sans wig, I still had the eyelashes and hotpants and high heels.. that was an adventure to wander around the beach in heels... it was the perfect place to go after eating, so peaceful out there, and totally with out people.. Corin also had some eye makeup left over from the night before, so the two of us combined with Brady's normality probably made up the weirdest trio the ranger had ever seen to stroll into the visitor center on a sunday afternoon. It was a good experience to trek around juneau nearly naked, it certainly upped my comfort level with my body- and aside from when I would see my reflection, I would forget that I was dressed as I was.. completey confirms that I could thrive in a nudist community. That night was the last night of outdoor ultimate frisbee- I missed way too much of the season, I can't believe we're going indoors already.. but then again I can't believe it's november. Frisbee was good times as well, I got to make some sliding catches and just running around was fun.. It was the perfect weekend- every weekend should be so good. Do I miss the lashes and the wig? Sure- more the lashes though, I'm seriously adjusting to seeing my eyes with out, they look naked a little.. I did dress up one more time on monday- in a decidely unglamourous state I impersonated Brian Blitz, my math teacher- lesson learned: Doo-rags, Bajas, layered thermal shirts, and soft pants are incredibly comfortable. I was also suprised by how well the look was recieved by some of the fellows in juneau.. maybe I was projecting my self confidence by refusing to bow to fashion standards, or maybe they just thought I was a hardcore alaskan... Either way it was cozy, I hope I didn't creep out my teacher too bad, because He's the best and coolest math teacher ever... I think alot of my happiness comes from the fact that I'm caught up in school too.. I even did laundry for the first time in a month, which as you can imagine boosted my morale and hygeine points. I'll see if I can figure out how to throw some more pics up here- otherwise I guess I'll do a little bit more chilling out..
