I Should Have Worn Eye Makeup...
I find eye makeup to be very tricky. I have to say that of any finer qualities I have, my eyes are fairly spectacular. They are rather striking and a very intense blue. I've often had people ask me if my eyes are real and one time I actually had a complete stranger come up to me and ask me if he could take a picture of my eyes.
This makes eye makeup tricky as sometimes a little liner and some shadow can make my eyes pop that much more, and sometimes they look hugely out of proportion to the rest of my face and I just end up looking crazed.
*Preamble can be considered done at this point in the entry.*
I had a date the other night and while I was first wary of the date, once on it I had a wonderful time.
I often times put a lot of thought into what I wear on a date and who the person is before I dress for the date. A friend and I were out and she thought that the date warranted a new top. Upon review of who I was going out with, I decided a plain T-shirt, jeans with a belt and cowboy boots would be my best option. My friend was mortified and asked me what I was doing with my makeup and I thought that a light layer of mascara and some minimal blush (Along with the perfunctory eight pounds of cover up to hide my insidious acne, but that's another post) would be fine. My friend rolled her eyes and the flaring of her nostrils spoke volumes to me, but I stuck with my decisions.
And then my date showed up in his boots with his belt buckle on and he towered over me -- that's just how tall he is, dear God YES, I went on a date with someone taller than me, how proud would my mother be? -- and his ball cap was cocked back on his head and I figured that the minimal makeup was exactly the right choice.
The conversation flowed and we got some coffee and went for a drive in his spectacular car and talked about his pickup truck and hunting and fishing and his first moose. We talked about farming and driving stick and Dixie, my miraculous deer hound. We discussed horses and school and his time at an agricultural school and my time at school in the city. We talked about beer and the troubles I'm facing with my currently malfunctioning shotgun and pros and cons of a shotgun versus a rifle. We talked and talked until we found it was two o'clock in the morning.
We parted ways and I told him when I was free to meet next, and when he went on his way I said "Call me...." and went inside.
And there hasn't since been a call.
And I've become that crazed person who's checking her phone every thirty five seconds, analyzing every single minute from the evening and thinking I've done something horribly wrong. Did I have food in my teeth? Was there an enormous zit on my forehead I wasn't aware of? Were the boots too much? Should I have just stuck with Docs and not bothered with the cowboy boots?
Alternatively, I'm thinking who the Hell talks with someone like old friends until two o'clock in the morning and then doesn't call? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
I'm being a psycho, I know. I'm fully aware of my craziness.
I'm just going to blame it on the decisions surrounding the eye makeup and move on.

Amandarling! What kind of friend fails to read this entry until over a week after the fact!
Hurray for going on a date, and with a guy who from all accounts (well, your account) sounds quite lovely on paper!
I have of course caught up by now, I so know he did in fact call. Hurray! I hope future dates are in store for the two of you!
And these antics of yours that you describe as crazy? I have been there and done them too. In fact, I constantly go PSYCHO when a guy so much as looks at me. I dream of one day going on a date with someone where there are no games. He calls when he wants to, and doesn't wonder what I'll think of him calling "so soon" or whatever after the date.
Keep us updated!!
