united Europe (“Middle Ages”). All across the continent and for many centuries to come, millions of shattered people had to fend for themselves against Vikings from the north, hordes from the east, Muslims from the south, and barbarians from within.

It was supposed to be the start of a transition from childhood to young adulthood, and though I discounted many of these sentiments at the time, looking back it certainly was. In an instant, it seemed, everyone started swearing and the hallways began to smell of a putrid mixture of not enough or too much cologne. For the first time we had to change…

positive i'd have tested every shade on paper before the use of them, but i was in a hurry. How a great deal of a hurry you ask? So much of a hurry that I did not understand I had scraped the attention off my thumb owl and dented the end of the middle finger owl until i used to be in the automobile and far away from my nail elements.
