Greek Goddess

So in trying a new Hairstyle today, I found that I not only (1 Have an excessive amount of hair when it comes to styling it. But that (2 I really need to use the right hairstyling stuff.
 The style was putting on a headband over the hair, and taking small pieces and twisting them, then twisting them around the headband, until all the hair is wrapped around the headband and, if needed, use a couple of bobby pins.
 I used a thin elastic headband to put up my hair, and lets just say the resulting hairstyle was rather unexpected. I expected a nicely rolled up out of the face and off the neck hairstyle, while what I got was a really puffy on top, widely rolled slightly spikey roll. The result when I first saw it, I thought I was attempting to be a Greek Goddess for some sort of party! But I like it nonetheless. It's only the first attempt, and to be honest not all my first attempts look quite this nice.
 So really, if your hairstyle when you first try it doesn't look that great to you, it might not look bad for a costume. Meanwhile, I'll be practicing this for the upcoming Summer. Because when the heat hits, I'll be wanting my hair up off my neck as much as possible, but I don't want it cut, no matter how much some people I know make fun of pretending to cut my waist length hair. It's mine, and they can cut theirs all they like, I'm happy with my long and thick brown hair!

A daily life

Or a day in life, both are correct when you think about it.  So a number of things are already happening today, and other things being planned on getting done today. But for now, as far as things have happened already today: Tai Chi, calculated my bedroom to see if I could survive living in a Japanese sized apartment (Which I could), got excited about re-hydrating myself (constant state of dehydration, you're going down.) to the point where I've given myself a painful case of the hiccups, and looked at some old family photos.  As far as what else is planned for today: Painting, eating lunch, some school I guess if I can actually grasp any of it, and getting rid of these hiccups!!  So apparently the average size of a Japanese apartment is around 1,300 sq. ft. My bedroom is (rounded up) 259 sq. ft. Yes, I have a very large room, but to be fair I've got it essentially set up as an ultra mini apartment, and could probably very happily live in something just as big. Just...

Villains

What do you think makes a villain a villain? A question proposed by a friend over on NaNoWriMo, Leila offered a question that made me realize, that I might have a very complicated, yet possibly not all that hard to grasp, idea on what a villain actually is, and is not.  A villain needs to be lots of things all wrapped up into one, and often times not everything all at once. A villain is usually someone who has at least one keystone to their personality that either rivals, or is the protagonists fear and/or vice. For instance, two of my own characters from a novel I did in 2014.   V will be villain, P will be protagonist. V1: I am suave, I offer compliments and disguise my observations as questions to gain more information. As well as being versed in the language of the country I am in, my main goal is to operate in the shadows and go as unnoticed as possible, unless I see my spotlight waning. P1: I can do away with superfluous comments or manners, I will ask d...

By the grace of God

 It is only by the grace of God that I am still standing here on this earth. It is only by the grace of God that I draw breath, and am whole. Everything I am, is by the Grace of God.  Two years ago, a part of my life started that would not end for a long time, and is in some ways still ongoing.  Two years ago, in 2014, unknowingly began what I would now call the year of hell.  I was a bystander to verbal abuse and hate. I lived in close quarters with people that I became to be afraid of, and did not speak up. I hid, and I tried to hide in ways that never really worked, but have now become habits that are hard to break.  I kept silent during the calms, for fear that a wrong word would stir up a storm from a simple disagreement.  I often took to walking to a friends house just down the road, to see if they were outside and could hang out for a while. And to my knowledge they still don't know what transpired.  It is only by the grace of God that I ...
