Red Lipstick and Fairytale

Went to college this morning to sort out some re-enrolling stuff and to get the info about when college actually starts again (useful stuff) as I didn't get a letter about it. Then came back to town, went to Carol's and got her to come red lipstick shopping with me. I wanted some red lipstick to wear to Chelsea's birthday thing - to go with my red chinese top. So I finally decided on a red lipstick and lipliner from Boots. Went to the pub with Carol and Sparkle for lunch, rather nice. Went home - typed up my huge Switzerland blog. Dad and mum are now back, said hi to dad when he came in, should probs go down and say hi to mum too. Yes, anyway, red lipstick - put it on when I got back (lip liner underneath), it stayed quite well - started coming off recently when I went down for a piece of bread and some juice. But not too bad, will have to reapply if I eat anything or get much liquid on my lips. Looks kind of cool. I like it :).
Am quite tempted to go buy some random coloured lipsticks (like purple :D). But good ones are a bit expensive so maybe not.
Have become obsessed with 'Fairytale' by Sara Bareilles. Carol doesn't like it, she wants to know what the 'best thing' is. And why they don't like their husbands. I kind of see her point but it's still a cool song. And I like the tune :) *boing*. I want to learn to play it on the piano (I almost said 'computer' then... I can already play it on the computer...). Still haven't finished the whole of 'Once upon a December', just haven't found the time yet...
Hmm...

Fairytale – Sara Bareilles

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood for shame, she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

‘Cause I don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do with seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

‘Cause I don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

‘Cause I don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience
and a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No, no I don't want the next best thing
