Eyeliner?...

I, as those of you who have read my 6th blog entry (entitled "On The Way to Forum"), am currently in a running community production of A Funny Thing Happened on The Way to the Forum. We played a show on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday were "Dark." So on Thursday we had a run-through as a refresher. After the run I offered to give my buddy Jareth a ride home. At his house I checked my gas gauge and realized that I was running out of fuel. I drove to the local gas station and parked next to a pump. I put my hand on the door handle and came to an interesting realization...I was about to go outside and I had yet to remove my eyeliner (this particular theatre is an intimate space, so eyeliner and natural lipstick is usually about the extent of make-up). I was about to just go outside anyway, when big burly guy came out of the C-store with a tallboy. That was a tipping point. I frantically grabbed my water bottle and I threw water onto my eyelids. I then wiped the eyelids half-heartedly on my sleeve and got out of the car, turning my back to the other people in the outside of the store. With earnest I hoped and hoped that it was my buddy that graduated my freshman year of high school and was really involved in theatre that was working that night. It wasn't. I walked into the building and avoided eye contact at all cost. There were three people in line ahead of me. And they were slow. really slow. As soon as I got to the cashier I paid and left rather abruptly. When I got back into the car I checked myself out in the mirror and saw that I cleared my right eye pretty well off but the left one just kinda smudged...oh well, at least I think that I am pretty with eyeliner.
