I wanted to do this huge, long update that talked about so many things and I wound up sitting here, staring at the blinking spacer and then I got up, cleaned my room, watched the new episodes of skins, and cooked dinner. now it's almost 8:30, and I'm trying this again, after almost six hours of this intimidating white space staring at me.
last night and today, I went on the hunt for pictures of lavender or light pink hair. I want something with a little va-va-voom, you know? dyeing your hair is more of...assuming a new persona. I'm not the same ol' neely, I'm different and my hair's reflected that. I've naturally been a dark brunette, to candy apple red, ginger red, dark magenta, dark blood red, gray-blonde, and now I'm at blonde. in about a month, I plan on whitening my hair, and dyeing it lavender. I'm sure I'll love it, but I know I'll have to kick it up and be vivacious and match the shock my hair is. of course, I could just sound completely silly and be blathering off at the mouth. I plan on maintaining this hair for a long while, at least until I'm in college. then I might just do lily loveless-esque white blonde and stay there for a while - who knows! my hair's been freakishly resilient through the torture I've put it through in january, but it looks a horrible mess because it doesn't have layers put in it. on my birthday, I think, I'm going to have it trimmed and layers put in the top, so it doesn't look so horrendous when I wear it down.
it's a very sort of introspective time for not only myself, but the other class of 2010-ers. this is our year, this is the year whose name we've held in our hearts for four years now, and it's upon us. and personally, I feel this vivid fear that comes along with freedom, the voice that shouts at you, "wait -!" even though you're already in the air, leaping off the cliff. I'm so excited for the multitude of things that await me, even though my career is seemingly innocuous, art education. who knows, though? I might change it to art therapy, music therapy, some occupation where I don't buy or sell or manufacture (much like lloyd's dinner monologue in say anything) but in which I'm still happy, content, and helping people.
speaking of school, this is such a weird week, but it's been fantastic! we had school canceled monday and tuesday, a three hour delay on wednesday, a two hour delay on thursday, and yesterday school was canceled.so out of a...32 hour week of school, I only technically went for...eight? this has never, ever happened before, and it's only because of the massive amounts of snow and freezing rain, so cheers, mother nature!
I got a gift today in the mail, a starbuck's giftcard, which came at just the right time so thank you, lovely person! I'll be using it this friday to sit at starbucks with my friends. we're trying to make it a new tradition for this semester, seeing as we don't have classes together, a good little hour or so every other week, as we'll all be at different colleges this fall; myself in chicago, the others at unc-g, and app state.
what else, what else...I can't think of much else! my new year's resolution was to stop drinking sodas, and try and lose weight - sadly, I've only done one of these two things. but the good news is, I've attached my diet coke addiction on to lemonade, water, orange juice and milk! the lemonade isn't the healthiest thing in the world, seeing as the amount of sugar that gets put in it, but it's still a step up. eating healthier is still a struggle, but I've stopped eating as much at lunch, and I never eat out anyway, so this is a good thing! the next step for me is walking to and from school when it's not freezing outside.
okay, now I'm out of things to talk about, haha!
