Why yes hair dresser, I would like to look like a poodle. Thanks for anticipating that.

Today I went to chop all of my hair off. It was ridiculously long and I was getting increasingly tired of having to deal with it. So I went to the salon and told the lady how short I wanted it. I told her that I wanted to still be able to put it in a pony tail but that I wanted the majority of it cut off. Little did I know, this woman learned how to cut hair on small variety dogs. (Not really but it seems that way)

She continued to yap away at me, which is something that all hair dressers do that drives me crazy. I'm okay with a little silence, you don't need to ask me my life story while you're cutting my hair. I usually let the hair dresser do her thing because she's the hair dresser, I'm not. She (should) know what she's doing. So my hair dresser asked me if I would be opposed to some layering and I said no. Layering is fine I didn't really care, I've had layers in my hair before. But as she was chopping away, I noticed that my hair was getting shorter and shorter by the second.

And that's when I started to panic. My hair probably loses about 3 inches of its length once it dries. And it was already looking waaaay too short. When she finished, it was still wet and looked alright. But when I got home, it had started to dry, and I realized just how crazy she had gone with the layering. I absolutely looked like a poodle. The length is fine, but because she went so crazy with the layering, I now have what can only be described as a white girl afro that can just barely fit into a pony tail. So I think its relatively safe to say that I will be wearing my hair up for a couple weeks until it starts to grow back....

Before

After

 And don't be misled by the fact that it looks kind of tame and non-afro like in the photo. I ran a straightener through it... I'm petrified to think about what it's going to look like if I let the full blown curls take over... I'll have a pretty sweet jew-fro......

Okay so I'm really sorry about the last post. I'm trying really hard to not do homework/cleaning/laundry right now... which doesn't leave me with much else to do. So I'm really bored.

I JUST FOUND OUT that you can feed the fish on my blog!!!! I'm super excited about that. You just click in the box (...tank?) and a little nugget appears and the fish go crazy for it!!

Tonight at dinner my friends and I were talking about awkward situations. One of my favorite topics obviiooouusslly. So here are a few of my favorites:

1. When you're talking about someone and you don't realize they are right there and can hear you and you try unsuccessfully to smoothly change what you are saying to make yourself look like less of a douche bag.
2. When you're in the bathroom and the person in the stall next to you is talking to you/thinks you're their friend when you're not and you have to awkwardly explain that you're not their friend/your professor is in the bathroom at the same time because they don't have staff bathrooms at Becker
3. When you ask people to follow and comment on your blog and they DON'T.
4. When your shoes are super squeaky in a quiet hallway.
5. When you laugh at someone else's inside joke and they look at you like you have three heads and you don't know how to explain why you laughed because you don't know why you laughed.
6. When someone makes a joke and you laugh at it during a really serious moment. Like when your friend tells you his shirt is on backwards during a seminar on autism...
7. When you see someone at Walmart and pretend you don't know them/don't see them so you don't have to talk to them because that would be 2857589643 times more awkward
8. Basically any social situation.

Tell me some of your favorites!

hahahaha don't judge me. Just follow me. Lying is bad, so don't lie. You want my autograph. Because you think my awkwardness is endearing. 

I have really old milk in my fridge.

I do this thing, where I purposely put off cleaning my room when I know it's really bad, because I know it'll take obscene amounts of effort to clean it. And this especially applies to cleaning out my fridge. I know there is a quart of milk in there that has been there since before spring break. And I really don't want to have to deal with disposing of milk that is that rotten so I'm just not dealing with it.... and in the mean time it is getting more and more rotten.

Ursula's glamor shot

If you read my blog regularly and/or know me personally, then you know that procrastination is something that I'm expert about. Remember how I talked about how my death-trap of a car is going to explode on me someday... and how I put transmission fluid in it and thought that it would be okay for a little while? Well now it's even worse. I'm dropping it off at Brandon's house this weekend so he can take a look at it for me. It's a good car and only has 30k miles on it so I'd feel bad giving up on it. So yeah, I'm procrastinating getting it fixed... which is bad. Don't procrastinate if you don't want to die in an automobile related hell-fire calamity.

I got recognized today on the Worcester Campus as the "unhappy person in the audience" from the play "I Hate Shakespeare" that I was in this weekend. It made me feel like a celebrity! I was all "HECK YES I was the unhappy person!"-- well I wasn't that enthusiastic about it... but I was still excited.

Artie is the best. Fact.

I haven't watched tonight's new episode of Glee yet and probably won't get to it until tomorrow night, so if you see me, and mention what happened during the episode, I might shoot you dead. I don't know how soon they post the episodes on Hulu but I'm going to check now if it's up there... so I can try to avoid shooting people dead in general. Because that's bad too.

Can you tell that I'm really tired? And I don't know what's wrong with me and why I can't just go to sleep at a normal time like normal people. I have an interview at UMass Medical Center on Monday. I hope I get it, but my sleeping habits are going to be a real problem. Wish me luck! Also, you guys suck at commenting.

Gotta do a hop on Tuesday

It's Tuesday! Watch this Rebecca Black-- Friday parody. It will make you feel good about this gross rainy soggy Tuesday. And check out thecomputernerd01 while you're there, he's got some ridiculously funny parodies on there as well as a bunch of other good stuff!

I'm in class right now and since paying attention and taking notes is obviously not an option, I'm going to talk about how annoying the boy in front of me is. He's probably wearing an entire bottle of some stupid cologne he thinks smells good. And he keeps leaning back in his chair and almost hitting my laptop with his head. Thanks guy.

This really is the most boring class I've ever had in my life. I'm not even remotely interested in Principles of leadership and management. And there are always these awkward moments when the professor stops and doesn't talk for about 30 seconds. And I have to nervously look up at him to make sure that he's not giving me the stank eye.

He definitely told us we'd be getting out early today and the time is ticking away and I'm still sitting here. Fantastic. I feel bad because I have the worst attitude towards school these days because I can see the finish line and it's so close that my mind has already quit trying but I still have to sit in class and do work and pretend like I care even when I don't. Anyone have any good motivation techniques? Because all of mine are completely burnt out and it is so impossible to do well and get good grades when my brain just wants to give up. Comment and let me know!

video and light teasers

 Recently I decided it would be great to start video blogging. But since I'm ridiculously over-conscious of the fact that people can hear me talking in my room, I haven't really had the chance to do much besides this:

And I know I said at the end of that video that I would come back later to update... but when I set it up later that night and was about to start talking to my webcam, my neighbors in the room next to me came back and I didn't want them to hear me.... so I will probably upload some actual video blogs this weekend when I go home. And we'll hope that it's not super awkward.

I'm also hoping to have a new installment of 'illuminate' up soon. It will most likely be based on decorative lights. I need a few more photos for it so if you have some cool decorative/christmas lights let me know and I will come awkwardly photograph them. Here's a preview to the right.






So you guys should comment below telling me whether you think that a video blog would be cool or if you'd rather I just kept typing these. Or comment with some ideas of what I should do for the illuminate series. And if you haven't already, follow me! It only takes a second and you don't need an account or anything (I don't think...I could be lying...)

illuminate

I borrowed my brother's camera today. When I got back from his house, I was feeling really frustrated and overwhelmed and upset so I decided to take the camera out and fool around a bit because the sky looked really ominous. As I started taking photos, I came to this one.

I loved it so much that I decided that I was going to start a series based on streetlights. I spent the better part of an hour laying on the ground taking photos of streetlights around campus and then realized that I didn't just want the series to focus on street lights but all light. So from now on, I'll be updating and posting photos in the "illuminate" tab of the blog. The photos and updates will all appear there (all together for your convenience) but I will still post them on the main page on my blog too.


April 4, 2011-- The first set of photos, streetlights.
