Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How about this page, Liese? [link] I didn't look at in super detail.

Ha, I have no idea where my crease is, and have no browbone at all (my EYEBROWS are on the browbone). I used to look at those diagrams and be like, "This is not a body part I possess?!" I have really deepset eyes.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anyway, yeah, it's an issue because my epicanthic fold means that regular eye makeup advice doesn't help me, because I don't have the crease I'm supposed to work from.

Being unAsian and yet also not having that creasen (or an entire epicanthic fold), I've seen some of those things around and they make me pretty sick. Plus they are totally useless. I too want to know where to stop the purple. And, you know, where to put the purple.

I'm getting the pig!

Youtube truly has some great step-by-step make-up application videos. Yes, there are a lot of 'dolly eye' vids but also many very simple tutorials by make-up artists.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My instinct is, don't stop the purple, purple forever! But that is possibly not the best plan for eyeshadow.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha, I have no idea where my crease is

I don't even know WHAT it is. But I don't wear eyeshadow, for perhaps obvious reasons. (I'd probably put it on my nose, or something.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even know what "stop the purple" is supposed to mean. But I don't have "good" eyelids either. Thanks to my fakely half-Asian mother.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Just yesterday, I was feeling smug about how long it had been since I hurt myself. (While talking to shrift about how she cut herself while cleaning a knife.)

Hey! I... can't decide if I'm protesting your smugness, or if I'm concerned that you keep doing injury to yourself. I guess I can multitask.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My eyelids are all crease. Sorry.

So I think I slept too much this weekend. I'm trying to decide if I should stay up for Castle, and start the cycle all over again (not enough sleep during the week/too much on the weekend), or get into bed and hope for the best.

I'm getting the pig!

I've been trying to figure out how to get my eyeliner to stop leaving smudge marks on my upper lid but none of the tips (from friends or youtube) have worked, thus far. Stupid oily eyelids. (Yes, I've tried different eyeliners.)

Even though they haven't solved my problem, the videos are pretty entertaining and informative. My eyelids are obviously stubborn rebels. Oily stubborn rebels.
