New Haircut

I've been wanting to get my haircut for awhile now. I was planning on doing it yesterday, but then my afternoon class was cancelled Monday and on a whim I went to this place called House of Lords on Yonge St. It has a cool rocker atmosphere, and it's cheap. Sure, my haircut didn't come out exactly as I wanted it, and I'm trying to figure out how to tame certain parts of it, but I like it overall.

Children's Lit Essay

Okay, this isn't due until March, but it's wonderful that I'm actually excited to write it. I plan on talking about gender politics and roles in Twilight. My professor [who is delightful by the way] hasn't specified any kind of questions or topics to talk about, but she did say we could write about Twilight if we wanted to, as she didn't choose it for the syllabus, due to how poorly written it is. I'd have to agree with her.

Fruit Punch

Went grocery shopping with Kayla yesterday, which is infinitely more fun with another person, and I bought some Arizona fruit punch, which I haven't had in a long time. It was wonderful. Plus the burrito I got at Burrito Boyz was a lovely addition.

With love and copious amounts of fruit

Hairspiration

My last haircut was in July. I can't really be bothered with proper maintenance. I grow it out long until it's so long and damaged I can't handle it anymore and then I cut it short. I was tempted by the idea of cutting it into a shaggy pixie cut over the summer, but I like my hair too much, and the style sounds like more work than I'm willing to put in right now [I will do it eventually though].

So it goes to my shoulders.

Current:

I'm developing a love affair with my hair straightener. And although a part of me wants to continue with the cycle of growing my hair out, I think I'm going to cut my hair shorter again.

It's sassy, and I can still put it into a ponytail. Opa!

With love and scissors
