Appearances.

So, I made this recently. I'm still not 100% sure what to blog about. My life, freebies, music, art, who knows, but the ball is now rolling.

Today I'm going to start off with linking to a blog of a dear friend. It's a great blog about freebies and etsy stores. If you like anything cute, sweet, or fun, you've got to visit! Freebie Fan is sure to indulge your cute-loving side with it's giveaways and reviews. Yes, the writer is one of my best friends, but I do not give complements and praise where it is not deserved.

Now for something a bit different. A little rant about appearances.

I like to think that appearances do not matter much to me, but I have to admit, they can bother me. For example: Saturday I went for a 5 hour driving course. The instructer was an older woman of average looks. She wasn't hidious, but wasn't pretty. She just sorta was.
About 5 - 10 minutes into the class I suddenly notice a HUGE mole on her upper lip. I mean, not only did it take up most of the room between her lip and her nose, plus it was raised a good 2 or three centimeters off her lip. I could see that there was a hair on it from my seat three rows back. Can you really blame me for noticing and being distracted? It was like the Austin Powers move, "Mooooole... mole-y mole-y mole-y!" It didn't help that when I finally pulled m eyes off her mole I noticed she had a mullet too. It was fairly discrete, but it was there. These two things bothered me all class. The mole isn't so much her fault, but the mullet? Come on, [i]someone[/i] she knows nust care enough to tell her to fix her hair! Not to mention, if I was her I'd want to get that mole removed. I'd be scared that it cancerous or something.
I was born with six fingers, and because the stupid doctor didn't remove them right (they were just tags of skin with fingernails), I had little bumps. They bothered me my whole life. People would make fun of them if they noticed, and they were super senitive, so if I hit anything against them, it would hurt. I can't imagive having a bump the same size on my face. i think I'd end up biting it off. If I was her, I'd have it removed just because of all the people that stare at it, because I'm [i]sure[/i] I'm not the only one who has, no matter how hard I did try not to. I don't think I would normally care so much, but when you teach a class, it's unfair for you to let something so distracting stay on your face! I guess that's just my shallow side talking.

So, now that I've convinced you all of my shallowness, I'll wrap up this post with a few freebies I've been linked to by another dear friend of mine, Lee. (She also has a blog called Perpetual Burn.)
2 Free Shamwows
An Herbal Tea Candle
Art design sample
Free guitar picks for you guitar players!
A free really tiny flash drive! I guess you get what you pay for.

One last note on appearances, this blog's appearance to be exact. I will soon have a nice little, slightly obnoxious layout set up similar to my plurk page, which bares the same title as this blog.

Blasting off,
