Yeah, I'm a winner

I have some family visiting for Easter. Tonight, after dinner, my second cousins and their mother were looking through an issue of Vogue*. There was an article about Alexander McQueen and how sad it was that he died. One of my cousins asked when he died. I said he died a couple months ago (wikipedia says February 11th) and one of my cousins asked how he died. Another cousin said that he probably died from a drug overdose or something of the like. I said he committed suicide.
Why do I know more about this guy than they do? I read this article yesterday, but I had heard about him before that. I'm not a clothes person. I wear some variety of the jeans and t-shirt/tank top/hoodie combo the vast majority of the time.
All in all, I think I'll just say that I'm a... extremely well informed person. And that I have a very deep interest in fashion.

*I believe this also explains the two issues of Vogue that have randomly appeared in my house. They might have left them here.

Feel the Epicness

My hair is dark brown. Really dark, actually. I actually think it makes my skin look lighter/pinker. I'm not sure why.
I had a really fabulous day today. I got my practice ACT score back, and it was decent (but I didn't get a 40 like I really wanted to). And then I went home to work on my Bio (I finished like...two questions. Going up to do more when I finish this.) and then I was getting ready to drive my brother somewhere, and Makena called me. We ended up finding a four-leaf clover and wandering in downtown Ann Arbor doing fun and exciting stuff (and taking 30 minutes to find a freeking parking space). And then I went to Andrea's, and we got into shenanigans. Actually, I showed her my pot garden. And then we called people. We went and picked up Makena and Manogna. And then we went back to my house and played ping pong. And then we made an epic fort. And then we drove to Target and bought things and stuff. And then we went back to my house and dyed my hair. And then we watched the first episode of Power Rangers. And then I drove everyone home. And then I ate seven crackers with cream cheese on them. And then I sat down to write this blog post.

On My Mind

We're in bullet point mode again.

• I'm thinking about dying the middle layer of my hair. This probably won't happen, but I'm just visualizing it. You think it would look good?
  
• I drove my great grandma around today, and I'm just noticing how much she's loosing her memory. She didn't remember her address, and she told me the same thing three times in 20 minutes.
• I'm trying to write that thing again.
• I have no life.
• I'm reading Ghosts, and I like it. He actually says what he means and doesn't try to have this crazy hidden meaning stuff, which makes me happy. Either that, or the crazy hidden meaning is just too complex for me, and it's all over my head.
• I'm starting to think that I have some sort of writing long things disability.
• My aunt gave me money for my birthday, and she gave me a lecture about how I should use it to buy a study book for the ACT. WTF? If you're so into the idea of me buying a certain book with that money, why didn't you just give me the book?
• I rode my bike today, and it used random muscles that I don't use for any other purpose. I have never noticed this while riding a bike before.
• Oh yeah. Bio Review of Pain and Agony. Didn't work on that at all.
  

Je couper les cheveux!

I got my hair cut! And now it's super short! This is going to take some getting used to. I was planning on a little longer than it is now, but if I got an extra inch off, I could donate it to locks of love, which I've been thinking about for a while now. It's so short that I can't even tuck it behind my ears!

This was also the first time I've had anyone besides the person who's cut my hair for my entire life cut my hair. It was kinda scary! I hope this will be easier to manage, and won't take 12+ hours to dry!


Oh yeah, I got Knitting Rules today and I'm loving it! Thank you harlot!

The boys are at CAMP!

Justin and my dad left for cubscout camp yesterday. with the boys gone, what is there to do but shop?
I got:
3 pairs of jeans
1 new set of sheets
3 new shirts
1 new sweater
and these, which I am in love with:
Ballet Flats! I finally found a pair in my size! Target didn't have any, Kohl's didn't have any the first time, Old Navy didn't have any, but we were at Kohl's and alas, ballet flats. In my size! Joy.
