What are two words that you always struggle to remember? Like, what the difference is? For me, when I was a kid, it was always fiction and nonfiction. And I remember my mom teaching me that it was like fiction and factual. So fiction is like the made up story and factual is nonfiction. Right. So it's truth. As an adult, for me, it is subjective and objective. It doesn't matter how many times I look up both. It doesn't matter how many times I use them. Right. I'm a smart, educated human being and yet still I can never remember in conversation which is which. And oftentimes I misuse them, which is always really humbling. So what's this for you also, like, how do you guys actually do makeup while you're on your phone doing tiktoks? Like, I. I spent most of this video just with one eyebrow. This is just. This is multitasking to the next level. Like. And a mascara. Like, how do you do that? Fuck if I know. Anyway, that took me a couple takes. Happy Friday.
