The big news, relayed at last

[chthonic]

I never did tell you what the big news was, did I? Always hinting at it, promising to tell you, and then never delivering. I hate when others do that; and yet I here I am: guilty. Shame on me

There were a few reasons, which I suppose I should draft up in an entry, but who knows if I'll ever get around to it? So many damn entries in my head that should've been posted, but I never got around to them; the whole school/cosmetology one included. There never seems to be any time to just sit and think about things, much less write about them, you know?

The short answer was that I was planning on working with Sonia and the Hair Police folks. Her death has really thrown me for a loop; I had to do a lot of soul-searching to keep from dropping out of school. It suddenly seemed like my entire future got derailed. Which, of course, isn't true; but I've really had a hard time dealing with the fact that she is gone.

What's even more sad is that I never actually *discussed* working for her; I never even got the chance to tell her that I was was going to school. At the beginning of the year, she always seemed to be sick, so I didn't want to pester her. I figured there was plenty of time later on to pick her brain about careers and the industry...

I'll stop there; it still hurts to think about it.

Ah. Well, that's sweet and simple: you were and remain inspired by the work of a legendary artiste who is sadly no longer with us but whose influence lives on. Yay! That's a good thing indeed.
