Human Nature is Sarcastic

“In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider, it is hard to find rules without exception.” George Eliot
What do you think makes the human nature more interesting: its compliance with the rules or its deviations into exceptions?

I like the exceptions because it takes into account that everyone and everything is different. As I've tried to tell my brother who is a big time academic, life doesn't always follow the rules in your psychology text books. Everyone is different therefore all situations are going to be a little different according to the person or people in them.

October is Sarcastic Month or National Sarcastic Awareness Month
Have you ever written a sarcastic character? Do you know anyone who is sarcastic? Is sarcasm another form of humor?

I'm not sure if I've written a sarcastic character or not. However, I do have this one character in my novel, Bloodshed on the Setting Sun, named Ludia Webster. She's seven and quite a little pistol. She's the type of character where you will find yourself thinking "she needs her butt whipped", then the next minute, you will laugh your head off at some of the stuff she says and does.

I don't know anyone is totally sarcastic, but I do think it is another form of humor, depending on what it is.


My Life

I received a PR gift to review on my YouTube channel. A company called 1675 cosmetics sent me two mineral powder eyeshadows (they were from their IVIVIIV cosmetics line). I knew they were going to send me something for the 7 day posting campaign I did for them on Facebook, but I didn't know what. I also received a pretty lipstick that I received at a discounted price in exchange for reviewing it today too. It's a rather unique looking lipstick. It's transparent and has a small flower you can see in it. These new lipsticks are a popular trending item right now. The company that sent it to me was Melissa With Love. This company sells handmade cosmetics and soaps. You can go to the website www.melissawithlove.co to check it out. If you decide to order anything, please use the code Pennycockrell to get 10% off the total. This code is good until Dec 2016. I will be doing reviews of these products on my beauty channel soon.

I'm also working on collabs with two other beauty YouTubers too. Often other YouTubers will collab together to pull in more subscribers. I've also created a character for some of my YouTube episodes for October. The character is Angelique who is the ghost of a southern socialite. I will debut the character on my channel tomorrow.

I will give a link to the video tomorrow after I film.

Bye for now,

Penny
