You'll be OK, Ennui. It will just take time. You can get better at makeup with practice. The most common mistake is using too much, and also the wrong color schemes.

I'm feeling a lot better, cautious optimism. Since I called the landlord this afternoon, either he or the janitor spoke to them, and there hasn't been any wall thumping or stamping, or loud talking about videoing whatever they were planning to do here tonight, ever since. I can only pray they'll give up now for good, and not just for tonight. I'm not certain they'll do nothing tonight, but I'm hopeful.
