Feather test Due to the availability, I bought two rolls of white craft foam instead of the black that I wanted. Decided to take advantage and experimented with painting them. One on the left was first primed with watered down modge podge and dried, which resulted in a glossy effect with the black acrylic paint. The right one was just painted directly on the foam, which turned out quite rough except for the blue portion in which I used glossy blue acrylic paint. I'm probably going to go with the modge podge primed one unless I find a better method, although I do like the idea of blue tipped feathers.

Me: oh. Uh, planes don't have parachutes.

Her: why not?

Me: i... don't know...

Me: *tries to say something funny mid-conversation*

Me: *gets no reaction*

I was never one to take care of my looks. I was one of those people who shower, towel dry, comb my hair, and go out about my business.

Today, I plucked my eyebrows for the first time.

It was painful. My skin was hot and irritated. I was asking myself, “Why am I voluntarily subjecting myself to this torture?”

But at the end of it (and after several cool washes) I looked in the mirror.

And I felt good.

English is not my first language. In 4th grade, my teacher assigned an essay in class, and for some reason I forgot the words "they/their." Throughout the whole essay, I wrote "he/she" s and "him/her"s with slash and all.
