(no subject)

I went to my mother's cousin's viewing yesterday. Her name was Sister Patricia, and she was a nun. The most amazing and unexpected part of the whole thing was the fact that... well, besides the other nuns of her order, who knew our family pretty well since Sister Patricia was a member of their order for nearly 40 years--the entire place was full of nothing but our family. No distant relatives of her spouse to make us feel guarded or uncomfortable, just the entire family visiting with each other, paying our last respects, and looking at picture collages of the family.

I know I shouldn't be pointing this out with all the seriousness and everything, but the skirt I wore there was one I'd bought last year around this time and hadn't ever worn it--it was SO awesome. Why I didn't wear it until now I have no idea. I actually thought I was pretty!

And, to round out that shallow news, I am finally starting to think that maybe my particular facial beauty isn't as awful as I thought. To clarify--I think I'm pretty (which my good Catholic upbringing tells me is verging on a sin, lol), but I don't LIKE my style of pretty. I think it's too... extreme, or something. But anyway, lately I've really started to like it (maybe my nose looks smaller to me or something). It's doing wonders for my self-esteem, anyway.

Note to self: GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION TOMORROW

ps. Please pretend I spent 6 tl;dr paragraphs mooning over Lupin's few screens of shots in the trailer. the_portkey posted cleaned up images and I STILL have a Safari window open with 3 tabs of the images she's posted of him over the past few days. Yep, that pathetic. David Thewlis is so awesome. I want him. Stupid stalkerish obsession...
