Dawdling in bed is fun, you have weird thoughts... oh wait nevermind that's dreaming, HA.
Anyway today was festival day! I agreed a month prior to do face painting at this mini-karate carnival, the money going forth to help buy plane tickets for my cousins mother to go over to Sweden with him for this Karate Championship. Seemed a good enough cause~
Well before I could even get a good feeling for the paints (which were total cheap crap btw...) a kid comes up for his face to be painted. The kid to me was adorable, he wanted a caterpillar or butterfly to match his flower balloon, but you could tell his father disagreed with such a "girly" answer. So instead he wanted his face to be an elephant, and here's where the fun starts...
How the hell do you make a kid's face look like an ELEPHANT?
Well I did my best with the paints in the heat, and tried adding some highlighted wrinkles, etc, when a kid comes up and says he looks like a zombie. We all laugh and then it starts... ELEPHANT ZOMBIE. I run the idea by the kid and he's all for it, so I do him up... and I must say, it was the most unique face paint job I did all day...
Anywho, So the list dragged on... more kids came up, and even a nice older-ish kid (maybe nearing his 10s or something) and me talked a casual-like while I worked. I must say those conversations were nice, and he also wanted a zombie face-job (to scare his friend, he said). And afterwards the numbers continued to grow. Butterfly, flowers, butterfly, FAIRIES, flower, spiderman, spiderman, strawberry, you get the idea... generic little kid stuff. after maybe say, nearing the 20 little kids area, I started getting tired and sore. I'm sure glad I wore a hat that day cause I would've been hell of toast... and not the delicious kind either...
I tried taking a break when there was no more, but lo and behold, even more showed up. I worked until an older girl came up and wanted to face paint her friend. I let her do so and she started getting into it, so I left to take a break, get me some delicious BBQ Chicken Sammich with Doritos and Dr Pepper. Delish~
Well it's soon after that we leave the carnival, my job of painting the young ones relieved to the other karate kids. So my mother, her boyfriend, my brother and myself go to Wal-mart, since I needed to get some things and look for others (such as getting a new Xbox controller and looking for Zombieland).
It's when we get there that I remember to look for colorful clothes. It's probably just the Spring blooming in me but there is just this new desire to dress in colorful clothing~ No, not the tye dye drab that looks like colors and patterns had some weird affair and had a problem child. Vibrant, pure colors like purple, hot pink, blue, red, yellow, green, you get the idea.
I look for those and find /some/. Some is the keyword. Unless you spend 100 bucks in the Zumba clothes department you can hardly find the type of vibrance in retail stores. I guess looking for vibrant clothing is like trying to find those easter eggs that your Uncle Joe planted in the backyard that morning... except being bright colors Uncle Joe thought it would be a good idea to paint them camouflage... HORRIBLE idea.
So after two hours of those fun and games (THEY DID NOT HAVE ZOMBIELAND. Displeased very much), We left and went to McDonald. McDonalds? That one fast food place with the immortal food and really good mocha frappes? Yes. THAT McDonalds. But we weren't there for their immortal food...OR their Mocha Frappes (even though I should've bought one)... NOPE. We were there for My Little Pony toys. So me and my mom's boyfriend ask the lady what kinds they had and how much they were... two bucks a pop. But for MLP? Psh done deal yo.
So I got three My Little Pony toys as well, Fluttershy, Rarity, and a character I'm NOT familiar with: Lily Blossom. Like the name though. AND she's purple, that's a plus. So that's my whole day in a nutshell. Maybe tomorrow I can persuade someone to go with me to find MLP toys: 1,3,5, and 7... just four more.... Hmmm~
