  • the sun just randomly made a sudden appearance. i could barely see the computer screen. But I ain't mad at it.
    Now it is hiding again.

    we thought the guy working at yogun fruz looked just like john mayer. then we found out john mayer was in town. but i don't think he would be working at a yogun fruz...still it was weird.

    school was very overwhelming last week. No matter how early I showed up or how many breaks i worked through, i was still behind. thank you to all of you who graciously encouraged me when i felt like a complete failure. I won't ever give up. (And hopefully never cry in front of the entire class again.)


    There's not very much
     sun today
    Too many gray clouds
    in the way
    but i'm glad just the same

    I've gone some not-quite burnt toast
    and a big cup of joe
    glad i live on the east coast
    -the part without any snow

    it's another new start
    this morning
    the me that forgets You crept in
    without warning

    but my neglect is nothin'
    You can't handle
    Surely your big, blazing fire
    can light up my candle

    I need You to live,
    so I need You to give
    me a big dose of Your Holy Self
    that knocks me of off this shelf
    and back in front of Your face
    going at Your perfect pace

  • i'm sitting here waiting for the bleach in my hair to work its magic while dan plays the guitar.
    i figured it looks bad to go to Paul Mitchell the School and have horrible roots.

    i did a haircut today on my mannequin (Eloise). I had a meltdown and got frustrated. I so wish I was a natural at this. It ended up looking good, which i believe to be a miracle from God. So ready for this to be easy.

    i freaked out today because i was determined to make my eyebrows look good. I bought all this stupid stuff. When I tried to use it, I realized it was a waste of money.

    why o why does it even matter. they are hairs to keep stuff from falling into my eye, for Pete's sake.

    i really hate that i care so much about some of the most trivial things in this world.

    i just need it to be summer, and i need to be sitting on a beach in the sand talking to God.
    just imaging that made me cry.

    i just need better things than good eyebrows and Crest Whitestrips.

    ugh. semi-sleepless night here. i'm just so glad I'm off today. I've even done all my homework, so today i am not going to even THINK about hair. i am going to the vet, because i actually have time today. not exactly what i wanted to do on my day off, but that's part of having a pet. Which is why we don't want a pet anymore. we bit off more than we could chew/ you live and learn.

    meanwhile, i'm imagining all these horrific numbers of how much the vet will cost.

    i watched a movie about CoCo Chanel last night. (the one with Shirley Mclaine, not Audrey Tautou). she had kind of a dramatic life (which is why there are about three movies about her, i guess) Coco_Chanel

    we had tornado warnings last night. and now its like seventy degrees. weird.

    at school, we learned how to do finger waves. i think they are just fabulous. if you are like me and don't know what they are: fingerwaves fingerwavediy hair-30s-fingerwaves1

  • i will rejoice and be glad in today

    today i felt every little
    failure
    as if it were a huge
    fissure
    and not a tiny tear.
    3 clocks told me
    i'd be late
    and all the other cars
    said i'd have to wait-
    they wouldn't let me go.
    and while practicing a perm
    on my mannequin's head
    i put my fingers around her throat
    glad she was already dead.

    but guitar strings were buy 2 for one price
    and twice the music is nice

    and the barista knew who i was
    so she added a free shot just because
    she knew my name
    and  a single and a double
    are never the same

  •  ugh. my left nostril has been clogged all day and i'm going crazy. I feel grody but i still have to go to school no matter what. unless i am puking every five seconds. baaaaaaahh.
     
     i have a big girl lunch box now. it's stylish.

    the dog is whining and i'm already mad at him for peeing in his room and chewing the carpet.

    our weekends our Sun and Mon. On monday i was like, "Yay, i can finally go to the library and the post office." Not so fast. MLK day. So everything is left undone and another week has begun.

    I'm threatening the dog. am i a bad person?
