Today's holidays were much more fun that I had expected. As I was beginning my day my dear friend Marisol texted me and asked me what holidays I would be celebrating today. I told her (Barbershop Music Appreciation Day, Embrace Your Geekness Day, and National French Fries Day) and she asked what my specific plans were. I didn't have any yet so she suggested doing a lightsaber fight. I thought that was brilliant but I was sad to find out that our family does not currently own any lightsabers that are in working condition. So...I came up with a better idea! I head to Walmart. I bought some wooden dowels and brown acrylic paint. Then I came home and gathered the troops (siblings). We followed this wonderful tutorial I found and made our very own wands. As we made wands we enjoyed some delicious french fries!
If you know me very well you will know that I am OBSESSED with Harry Potter. I'm not even quite sure why, but I love it. So this was the perfect way for me to "Embrace My Geekness." We made some SICK wands. Oh man. Then we decided to dress up and have some pictures and a wand fight. I found this insanely perfect black wig in our Halloween costume stash. It only seemed toooo perfect. I just couldn't resist. After some massive amounts of black eye shadow and eyeliner I was ready. Here are some of my favorites!
Ah. This was so fun! I forgot to mention! As we made the wands we also listened to the Pandora Barbershop station. It was all good fun! (: So now you know...I am a geek. Hopefully you found a way to embrace the inner geek in you!
Tomorrow's holidays are:
Bastille Day (French holiday...but I'm 1/4 French!)
Pandemonium Day
National Nude Day (I won't be celebrating this but if you want to...haha)
(:
