Fun Fact #14: I was almost rocking the Sharpie eyeliner look today

So this morning I was getting ready for work and not really thinking about what I was doing. I've been here for a few months now, so things have become pretty routine. I get up, go to the gym, shower, get dressed, do my hair and make-up, and then leave. It's nothing exciting really and biggest change of pace comes from whether I decide to have music or TV (The Today Show!) on I'm getting ready. It's kind of a sad existence for someone in their early 20s to have now that I think about it.

Today I decided to mix it up a little, basically to be totally daring and risky, by using black eyeliner instead of brown. So I didn't really pay attention when I reached for the eyeliner pencil and accidentally grabbed a Sharpie (not a thin one either) instead. I had it up to my eye when I noticed that trademark Sharpie smell and stopped myself.

How tragic would it have been for me to have to walk around for days with Sharpie eyeliner? I would have looked hideous; people would assume I was either a total struggler or that I was trying to bold and daring, neither of which is a look I go for. People always tell me I need to be more daring, considering my "style" (if you can call it that) is pretty dull, but I doubt anyone would support a Sharpie eyeliner look.

But I Googled "Sharpie eyeliner" and there seems to be group of people who support this idea. I think this is a horrendous idea and I'm happy that I didn't inadvertently join the "I wear Sharpie marker, which is toxic and probably dangerous, around my eyes" Club.
