So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, “Wow, you’re so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it’s okay for boys to do that. Now I’ll tell him there’s a cool guy who does it too!” It was a nice moment, very cute.
Then, last week, she came in again, and said, “Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! I want you to meet someone!” She then brings her son forward, and says, “Okay sweetie, show him what you did!” And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump.
Guys, I’ve only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice.
This time, though. This was a good cry.
After changing to fit into society, you are eventually going to want your old self back sooner or laterThis. This is powerful.
So I have like 9 exams and not much time to do any nails
But here are the nails I did last night to go out
Just a quick black sparkle

SIGNAL BOOST: HEY, PLEASE READ THIS- ITS SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT THE FATE OF YOUR INTERNET-LIFE IS AT STAKE!!!!!! APPARENTLY THERE IS A HACKER ON DEVIANTART, CALLED ‘LIFE OWNER’….. TELL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY ON YOUR LIST ADDS HIM THEN YOU WILL GET HIM ON YOUR LIST. HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DON’T CARE FOR THEM AND FAST BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO (I think what it means by that is that he could assume the identity of your friends, and FOOL you into opening the letter since you think it’s your friend that’s sending it )!!… Anyone using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled ‘Mail Server Report’ If you open either file, a message will appear on your screen saying: ‘It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.’ Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, And the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password. This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software’s are not capable of destroying it . The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself ‘life owner’.. PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS TO ALL Remember, always be careful of messages you receive in email-don’t open them unless you’re 100% POSITIVE they’re safe. If you have even the SLIGHTEST doubt, DON’T open it-DELETE it, it’s the smart thing to do!
I’m spreading the word, because it really is better to be safe than sorry. And even if I have not met most of you, my followers, I would hate for this to happen to you.
Better safe than sorry

i recently read “the fault in our stars” by john green and i absolutely fell in love with it. i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it so naturally i wondered what it would sound like in a song. this is what i came up with. i used quotes from the book so technically this isn’t all my original work so credit to mr.green. also i know he has a tumblr so if you want to spread this around so that it might happen to stumble upon him, that’d be amazing. by the way, this is called “the fault in our stars” and it’s written from hazel’s perspective.
Spread this around so John can hear it, you guys!
Not nail related but this is so beautiful I don’t care… You have to listen to this like now!
