Wu tang, self consciousness, etc.

I KNOW, taking pictures in the bathroom at school is soooooooo classy.
Well let me tell you what is embarrassing- someone walking into the previously vacant restroom to see you standing there like a deer in headlights, while you are still holding up your camera at your reflection.
I really don’t like people being around when I’m doing anything remotely vain. (make up application, checking myself in a mirror, scoping my own pictures on the computer, etc.) Because of this, I have formed very furtive methods of doing all these things. For example, I really want to look at myself in a mirror for beauty check reasons, but I don’t want everyone to see me gawking at my reflection for a million years. So, I just pretend like I’m checking my nose for lurking snots! I know, I know, it’s ingenious. In order to cover up a fairly unpretentious super-common girl habit, I use an act much more strange and uncomfortable relating to the obnoxious checking of mucus. However, it quells my nervous brain.
As for being noticed when putting on make-up, my method is slightly less clever. I just stick my head in my purse as if looking for something  and, quickly as possible, slap powder on my shiny face. It’s a little more difficult then the snot check thing, because in order to remain unsuspicious I have to continuously move shit around inside my bag as if i’m still searching for some object. I found this out because not moving, but having your face completely immersed into your bag for longer then 15 seconds, stirs curiosity among peers. It is a strange sight, as I have demonstrated in this detailed Microsoft Paint illustration-
