Cabaret Makeup Look
I have a new project I want to start! The goal? Make-up styles. I want to copy makeup looks (and possibly poses) of certain choice pics. I originally wanted my first one to be Emcee from Cabaret, but I just went with a Cabaret-inspired look instead. And no, my eyebrows aren't really that dark. Yes, I colored them in. I had to get the same effect as close as I could. I look like I could be a character in the show! :-D I just grouped the photos into one little strip that I think turned out to look quite classy, despite the background. Enjoy!

Computer Geek Humor
Some good geek t-shirt slogans
(My favorite one) Windows: Just another pane in the glass.
2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2.
Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.
The Definition of an Upgrade: Take old bugs out, put new ones in.
C:\> Bad command or file name! Go stand in the corner.
Southern DOS: Y'all reckon? (Yep/Nope)
E Pluribus Modem
Ethernet (n): something used to catch the etherbunny
Does fuzzy logic tickle?
Who's General Failure & why's he reading my disk?
Help! I'm modeming... and I can't hang up!!!
Error: Keyboard not attached. Press F1 to continue.
Press any key to continue or any other key to quit...
Go ahead, make my data!
And now, I shall go downstairs and watch Spice World, because I hear Alan Cumming is supposed to play a part in it, and I'm totally obsessed with him right now :-D

Alan Cumming Is My New Obsession (Ooh, that sounds dirty!)
"And now presenting the Cabaret Girls! Rosie! Rosie is so called because of the color of her cheeks! Lulu! Oh, you like Lulu? Well too bad, so does Rosie!"
"Bobby! Victor! Or is it Victor! And Bobby! You know there's really only one way to tell the difference...I'll show you later!"
HA! I think I have a new interest. *feels the love* All because of RP again, of course. That's how I got obsessed with Figwit/Bret McKenzie. This time, it's Alan Cumming. Some of you new X2 fans will know him as Nightcrawler in the new X-Men movie. Come to find out, Alan is ALSO a Broadway star! He's played Emcee on Cabaret (which I can't stop listening to. Money is one of my most favorite songs from it so far).
He also played the part of Rooster on Annie.
I'm not sure what else he did so far, besides singing on Saturday Night Live, and as Floop on Spy Kids.
I love his voice. And his Scottish accent. *dreamy-eyes* And when he wears his kilt and eye liner... mmmm...
But now I'm wrapped up in Money and Wilkommen, so I'll post what I have and talk more later. Can't... concentrate... must... drool! X-D

Being a Vegan is Not For Everybody
Good news? I'm healing from my shingles.
Bad news? I can't be a vegan.
If you are new to my blog, let me recap for you - I tried to be a vegan, but because I suddenly changed my eating habits and was dealing with a lot of stress at the same time, my immunities dropped so low that I got an infection to my nervous system and broke out with the shingles virus.
I guess trying to be a vegan wasn't really meant for me, as much as I wanted to be. I've been eating meat again for about two weeks now, and I started getting un-sick. That sucks...
Not that being healthy isn't good, but it's not healthy by Candice-reasoning to eat animals, either. See how I'm kind of stuck, here? Not eating animals results in bad health for Candice. Yet, eating animals results in death for the animals. It's a lose-lose situation. Maybe I can try it again later on through the years when I'm not so stressed out, but for now, it's not for me...
Guess I have to be selfish on this one here and worry about myself. As if there would be any other way for me to be, though, right? So considering I need to be more health-conscious, I better take my shower and get to bed since I just worked a 13 hour shift.
Ciao, my lovlies.

I Feel Left Behind
It's interesting, these changes. There were four of us, best friends. We fit together so well. So much wonderful times, we had.
Candice - The 'pretty' one of the four, so they would say, but she never felt pretty enough. The Broadway Diva, the drama queen, the goth princess. The oldest, yet the youngest at heart. The romanticist who just wanted to be loved. The obsessive-compulsive.
Amber - The tough girl who just wanted to be loved. The sensible one. The artist. The one with low self-esteem. The mellow girl. The girl who knew all the trivia. The fighter.
Tahnee - The dreamer. The youngest, yet the mother of us all. The one with the well-to-do family, but the one who chose us 'lesser' people as friends. The peacemaker. The curious one.
Samantha - The logical one. The smart girl. The only one I knew who could be such a brainiac, yet such an airhead at the same time. The contemplative one. The girl who just wanted to keep her family together but whom always seemed so independent.
We were each so different in our own ways, yet we fit together so well. Check it out. Even our initials spelled out our favorite animal, CATS. But now... Now things have grown so distant between us all. To quote Rent, "How did we get here? How the hell..." What is this post about anyway, you may ask? Well, I've been reflective lately. We used to all go together so well, but now??? To quote Linkin Park, "Even though you're close to me, you're still so distant, and I can't bring you back". Now that school is out, and we've all grown up, we have all grown so distant... And this is how:
Candice - As for myself, I always had big dreams. I always wanted to move to a big city and become a great theater star, singing and acting for the pleasure of many, doing what I love for them to love. But now, I doubt I shall ever reach those stars. I'm stuck in a small town, with a pretty decent job, but I'm not doing what I love. And you know what the sad thing is? I like where I am, now. Mom and I are making it pretty well together, and I don't want anything to disrupt what we have right now. I want something so badly, but yet I'm not going to make an attempt to achieve it. How awful is that? And now I'm paranoid about my health, because all I wanted to do was try and become a vegan to make my quality of life better, and ended up accidentally giving myself a virus. So now I worry that with my immune system being so low, that I could catch something else, and that'll be the thing that kills me. All because I wanted to try and be a better, healthier person. Do you know how scared that makes me? To know that if I don't get better, I could REALLY catch something nasty, get SO sick, and die? Paranoid, maybe, but it still scares me to no end.
Amber - I found out recently that she's been getting into drinking and smoking pot. She has sunk quite low over the last year. She works constantly, and when she's not working, she's so depressed and stressed out about how much she has to work, that she turns to doing that stuff for relief. I don't know what to think of her anymore... There are other ways to get around depression, and she DOES have the right to say NO when her boss asks her to work overtime. I just don't know what to do, being so far away...
Tahnee - I admire her so much, but yet I feel so bad for her, all the same. She's in college, wanting to learn archeology so that she might be one of the diggers up on Mars one of these days. I believe she could actually do it, too. Any time she says she's going to do something, at least her dreams never fail... But yet she's so alone... I hardly see her anymore, and we were like sisters. Amber's gone off on her thing, and Samantha, too. I think she feels like we've left her. It's sad, since I felt like they've left me behind, and I'm stuck here while they change so much... I wonder if she feels the same way?
Samantha - She's taken to living with her boyfriend. When I moved away, I was so cold-hearted to her, because I was mad at how stuck-up she had become. She was tactless in telling us how much she didn't like Amber's purple hair, or my black hair with red streaks. I felt like it was a slap in the face, like she was saying she was better than us. But now she IS better than us. She's shaped up her body quite nicely, losing a great amount of weight, she has beautiful hair, she's living AND making it on her own, and she's with a really sweet, great guy! (My brother's girlfriend's brother, so he's going to be my brother-in-law) She's got it all, and that's a LOT better than how she had it back in the day. A LOT better.
But now I've lost the point of this post, and I just feel quite bitter and sad all at the same time. I know, I know... I need to stop it... It's not good for my health. So I'll close this up and go downstairs, curl up on the couch, watch Edward Scissorhands, Powder, and Lord of the Rings over and over and over again, while playing on my new laptop that I named Figwit. Maybe then I'll feel better. Who knows, anymore... *shrug*

Low Immunities
Yep... I'm getting a cold. I hate when I can feel sickness coming on, but I can't do anything to stop it. But I can tell because of two main reasons, and those reasons are due to this:
One, because of the obvious, that my immunities are low from having shingles and taking the Valtrex, so I'm likely to catch a disease much faster than usual.
And two, because it's almost time to visit 'Aunt Flo' (too much information? lol) and it's said that women are more likely to be susceptible to sickness just before that time.
But at least I get a surprise package from my bestest friend today. AND... I get my laptop *glee!* I may feel like a pile of poo right now, but at least I'm a happy pile of poo :-D

Shingles Update
YAY! I got owls! lol I FINALLY got to check the mail and got letters from my Harry Potter friends! I love this whole pen-pal kind of thing we've all got going on here. VH is amazing, how it ties us all together like that. Today, I got letters from Kame-chan and the Odd-meister!
I shall make replies as soon as I can.
An update: As for my arm, it's now a bunch of scabs and well on it's way to healing. HOWEVER... I got something on my leg now, and finally got these 'reaction bumps' on my fingers that he said I should have had by the time I came into see him. These came after I ran out of the medication... I think I may have to go back and get more. I've been feeling like crap... achy bones, little headaches every so often, and I feel a sore throat coming on. *groan* I must be getting old waaaaaay before my time. Let's just blame it on side effects of the medication....
