I have a very harmonious home life part deux

Saturday, 2pm in the Y household: time to try and make my face look presentable before I venture out and meet the world and my Special Lady Friend.
This is going to be a coffee and makeup day, then.

-I can see that your efforts are highly effective, says J, hovering near the bathroom door.
-You’re only saying that because you’re envious. You’d like to play with makeup too.
-Play? You’re not even being creative. Why don't you draw a big circle on your cheek? Or you could at least draw little dots under your eyebrows like Bjork.
-This is not about being creative; it’s about looking vaguely human. The antithesis to the adage that old Goths don’t die, they only need less makeup. Leave me alone.
-I can’t leave you alone; I really enjoy witnessing this level of optimism.

A little support at home is always nice.
