sleeplessness and makeup

I haven't been sleeping well for about two weeks now. I suspect that my period (which was last week) did something stranger than usual to my body chemistry, because I've been over-the-top emotional, cranky, and insomnia-ridden more than I usually would at this time. Whatever the reasons, I'd like all of that to stop now, thankyouverymuch.

Last Sunday, the wonderful and frabjous imflying applied a set of fiberglass artificial nails to my fingers. My nail varnish hasn't chipped yet, and I've gotten used to typing with long, pointy claws. The best thing about fiberglass fake nails is that they're no thicker than real finger nails, but durable in a way that my real nails never, ever were. Now I want thin silvery spiderwebs painted on them.

On a completely completely frivolous topic, I'm bored with my makeup. I think I'm going to start asking my friends who are really, REALLY good with eyeshadow and such to come over and play with my makeup collection, because I need help. (staxxy, minim_calibre, and imflying, I'm particularly looking at you three.) I'm looking forward to my makeover & photo shoot w/ girlgoth, but that's still a few weeks away.

Hmmm, what else? Slight movement forward on a facet of the Sooper Sekrit Plan this weekend, hurrah!

(no subject)

Know what I want right now?

Potatoes Au Gratin, made with lots of super-sharp Cheddar, heavy cream, and nutmeg, with some thinly-sliced Granny Smith apples and Black Forest ham added to it.

That sounds really, really good.

I'd make it this weekend, but I'm pretty sure that the amount of cheese and cream I would put in it would render it nigh-deadly to stroppy_baggage. I suppose I could make it on Sunday night and use it for lunches during the week. But I want it now.
