Bangs

Since “embarrassing things” seems to be this week’s theme, let’s talk about what I did on Monday.

This is a slight exaggeration.

So. I really wanted a long sidebang, but I recently got my hair trimmed and they cut too much anyway and I’m trying to grow it out so I didn’t want to go back for another trim just to throw in the sidebang.

Mistake uno: believing in myself

Like with any major decision, I checked with twitter first.

The responses were fairly positive, I think:

Okay not really at all. I tried to reassure everyone that I knew what I was doing:

I checked with Boyfriend, too, via gchat:

Me: In other news i bought a pair of hair cutting scissors 

If you need me I'll be in my bathroom for the next hour 

This should go well

Boyfriend: DON’T DO IT!

Me: Damn 

Between you and twitter …

Its just a little sidebang!!1

Boyfriend:  famous last words

I'd like someone to bang on the side too you know [Note: he’s kidding.]

Me: Don’t start 

but seriously 

I’m being adventurous 

snip snip 

Boyfriend: The next words after its just a little side bang are, "it cost me $120 to fix it at the hair salon" 

           

It went..okay. Except I didn’t listen to my brain even though I knew my bangs were wet, and cut them shorter than intended. And slightly unevenly. But I didn’t cut that much of them, so it’s not that noticeable…

Everyone was supportive.

Boyfriend came over and saw it.

Embarrassing Confessions: Les Mis

In the past, I’ve admitted to my loud chewing and love of Halloween candy.

The latest?

So, a couple of weeks ago I was alone on a Saturday night and I knew what I wanted to do.

Besides the fact that Boyfriend flat out refused to watch it, I knew it would be a tear jerker and I prefer to cry over musicals alone. Anyway, I watched it.

You guys, I cried so much.  I texted Boyfriend, too. He wasn't super sympathetic to my plight.

Me: I rented Les Mis

Boyfriend: Gag

Me: Sniffle!!!

Extra hard sniffle

I need more tissues.

Boyfriend: They should all die

Me: They all did. I accidentally cried.

Boyfriend: Good

Me: I was doing okay til Wolverine died. WOLVERINE.

Boyfriend: Wolverine can't die

Me: I wonder how many more times I can watch it til the rental is up

Boyfriend: You are sick

Me: Wolverine died and catwoman took him to heaven

Boyfriend: Please never talk to me again

Me: DON'T BE MEAN I JUST FINISHED CRYING

And I had awesome conversations like this on twitter:

Seriously how was her waist that tiny!?

Anyhoo, because I liked it so much, I watched it a bunch more times. And I cried every single time.

Does that stop me from watching it way too often? Nope.

This movie man. It’s just too damn sad.

Spoiler alert: he dies.

Night Owls

Out of Boyfriend and me, I’m the night owl. When he’s over, the evening usually ends up like this:

However, something weird happened last Friday and we switched roles.

Does that ever happen to any of you? It’s weird.

But don’t worry, we didn’t switch roles in the morning.

First World Work Problems

Time for some first world problems, Mayor Gia style! Today we'll be tackling work related ones. 

1. When your eyeliner smudges at work and you look like you have a black eye and no one tells you.

How I think I look:

How I actually look:

Then I finally look in the mirror:

Traitors.

  

2. When people don’t respect your personal space bubble.

My day usually starts like this:

But then inevitably, this happens:

I can’t actually say that because it’s considered rude. So I have to grin and bear it, when all I wanna do is this:

Work frowns on running away from people.

If only.

3. When you have to go to the bathroom but you can hear the creepy guy standing right outside of it.

And then you move towards the bathroom and get stuck in this:

4. Finally, when there’s no bagels on bagel Friday.

Our coworker always brings in bagels. Even if he’s planning to be out, he always asks someone else to bring them in. Well, ALMOST always.

NO BAGELS? The WORST thing!

We ALL suffered.

You guys. Working is HARD.
