Question Meme People, I will get to your questions next post! I'm thinking of making a post listing your questions and just answering all of them there, what do you think?

Today was my day off and I had to run a ton of errands and get caught up on a few things that I kept putting off. Too many days spent at the computer (which is fun don't get me wrong) and I got a little behind. But I got caught up today and then went to the mall with my sister. We went to Ulta (which is like Sephora) and to MAC and in those two stores alone I spent quite a bit of money. A few months ago, spending $18 on an eyeliner would have made me twitch, but now, I look at things a bit differently.

I'm a very frugal person (read: I'm cheap). I try to cut corners whenever I can, grab a sale, all that jazz. But certain things are worth the money. There's a reason I spent $18 on that eyeliner. It's waterproof, doesn't move (seriously, it does not. move.), and I won't have to be reapplying cheap eyeliner after cheap eyeliner to achieve the same result. It will also last me at least four months, so I feel I got a fair deal. Nowadays, I think about a product and ask myself "Is this worth it?" "How many uses will I get out of this?" "Could I get the exact same results with a cheaper product?"

That's not to say that I don't appreciate a good bargain, or that there aren't cheaper products that are good quality. Because I buy those too. I just don't always go for the cheaper products anymore, just because they're cheap. What do you guys think?

A few things I bought today (these are all beauty products, let me know if you want reviews on any of this stuff!):

( List of what I got... ) I made spaghetti today for the first time. I'm not such a good cook but I did pretty damn good. We put some cheese on top with some sauce and it came out delicious. Definitely adding that to my really short list of recipes. 

My parents get back from their vacation on Sunday. I can't wait to see the pictures they've taken of my family members and just to talk about what they did, and who they saw, etc. I wish I could've gone with them to see my extended family, but now is not the time. For now I'll just live vicariously through this vacation of theirs.

What do you all have planned for the weekend?

I never thought I'd be the type of person who would enjoy living with other people. But I totally am. I really like having my own space and I thought living with two other people would infringe on that, but I think it just depends on who you live with. I love coming home to my friends and every time I'm by myself for hours on end I really miss them. I'm turning into a big old sap.

This entire week I'll be getting off at 4pm from work, and it's made my entire day. I hate hate hate closing up the restaurant, and I really like being able to work and then be able to do whatever I want for the rest of the day without feeling like my day is being cut in half.

My parents left for Puerto Rico for two weeks to be with family and I'm going to miss them :( It's so weird, typing that. Two years ago I would have wanted so bad to have a break from them. Funny how things change.

It's 3am and I should be in bed. I probably look like I should be in bed, and I'm definitely thinking like I should be in bed. But I'm not. About half an hour ago I finished watching He's Just Not That Into You with my roommate. I laughed, I teared up, I learned a few things, but mostly I knew what was going to happen before it happened because for some reason, I think a lot like a guy. Which is weird. And helpful. But mostly just weird. I'm sure I'm not the only girl who thinks like a guy for the most part. Hm.

I was going to post pictures of some things I've found while thrifting but then I realized my sister had the camera and I had to push that thought to the side. I finished Breaking Dawn from the Twilight series and I expected to hate it, but nope, just another harmless fun read. I'm sure that sounds crazy but being a snob is so last year. Also exhausting. Yay for shit like Twilight! I devoured that shit just like I devoured Angels and Demons and The Spiritual Biography of Frida Kahlo. Reading is fun.

I haven't done any of my homework. I'm procrastinating big, but I'm not worried. I always do this, so I don't know why I even bother pretending each semester is going to be different. It's not. I'm still going to be reading over the material really quickly, processing about 70% of it while I think of other shit, like who's that texting me, and I wonder how far I can be away from the sun before my skin starts melting. Important shit.

People are so touchy, but I don't care about that either. Life is short. If people like me, great! If people don't, more will come. We are all expendable. That sounds depressing when I read over it but I don't mean it that way. I'm actually smiling as I write this post. Probably to keep the drool in? Who knows. I should be in bed. I feel disconnected from my head. I love this feeling.

I'm running out of words. World Peace?
