On car vs bus commutes, and yelling

suzanne.jarosz :the only thing i can do is sing along to the radio, and eat. both things that do not add to my quality of life.

5:03 PM me: NOT TRUE!

oh my goodness, if you knew how much i miss singing to music

particularly in the car, when you feel in control

5:04 PM living in the city, in an apartment building, there are very few opportunities for making noise

5:05 PM suzanne.jarosz: hahaha. you could make noise, but the question of being heard is different.

me: exactly

suzanne.jarosz: omg. i am totally on board with the yelling rooms

5:06 PM my version: the pillow scream.

equally effective. it got me through college

5:09 PM me: hahahahhaa

ill have to try that

might still freak Alex out, but that's about it, hah

5:11 PM suzanne.jarosz: years ago, rian asked me how i stay so calm and i responded "pillow scream"--that moment changed her life...and little did our roommates know, but they had double pillow screams happening almost every night.

5:13 PM me: hahahahahahha

that's fantastic

On growing up

claire: i think i need to buy some makeup

face makeup. i don't own any.

Jordan: good lord. how do you not own face makeup

me: concealer, foundation, the whole bit

hahaha

Jordan: probs because you have good skin

me: i just never wore it

not great skin, by any means

i have a lot of weird rosiness, but i just distract from it by wearing blush

(in the right places, hah)

otherwise, i just never gave enough of a crap

8:10 PM like, i cared, but it felt like i was fighting a losing battle

8:11 PM i don't like wearing makeup that you can SEE im wearing makeup

for the most part, anyway

8:12 PM Jordan: get bare minerals

at Ulta

i love it.

you hardly wear any of it

but it gives you a polished look

8:14 PM me: i've almost purchased it multiple times

but im such an idiot, i dont even know the order of things

isn't there one other kind of face makeup?

foundation, concealer, and....

Jordan: they do free tests on yoU!

they teach you how to do it

if you go to an Ulta store.

me: there's one right on Powell street

8:15 PM Jordan: go try it

they'll do a lil makeover

me: i got a free sample on the street two weeks ago

8:32 PM me: but i think it was just the mineral powder

er wait

the thing that goes on top, whatever the hell that is

ha

Jordan: mineral veil

awesome stuff.

8:35 PM me: im excited :)

i feel like i'm growing up, hah

8:36 PM Jordan: lol...let's see? you're married. you moved to San Fran. you bought a dog. NOW you feel like an adult? because you're going to buy makeup?

me: hahahahahahhahaa

fair enough.
