I just cut my own bangs. It sounds worse than it is, I've done it before. I've been getting back into the rockabilly, after listening to much indie and electronic music these days. Please don't get me wrong - I love all the music I listen to, all the time, but I go in and out of phases and just have to switch it up every now and then. I couldn't wait any longer to get my hair cut, so I chopped away at my bangs on my own. It took me, I'd say, about an hour to do because these Bettie Page-style bangs have to be perfectly even. Well, I get as close to even as I can, anyway. I may have to trim them up a bit more in the morning, but I'm satisfied for now, until I have to leave the house.
As I was searching for some additional rockabilly tunes today, I came across another song that I have been listening to on loop because I just can't get enough of it. It's called "Gone Gone Goodbye" by Three Bad Jacks. They are a rockabilly band, but this song in particular is a little less rockabilly, and has a more modern melodic rock/pop feel to it. It seems like it could be a bit more universally appreciated, in comparison to most rockabilly, which one usually has to have a taste for already. I just love finding new music, any day, no matter what style, as long as I can enjoy it.
It's 1:30 in the morning, and I can finally say that I haven't stayed up this late in a while. Dating someone who always has to wake up early, and goes to bed at a decent hour, has affected me in a positive way. I even find myself going to bed before midnight, by choice. I know, that's pretty crazy for me, considering the fact that a while ago, 2am was "early" according to my biological clock. I'm up late tonight for the same reasons that I used to be up late, though. Sometimes I just enjoy listening to music so much that it keeps me from wanting to go to sleep. I also chose an odd hour to decide I needed to cut my hair and both my mood and thoughts have been elevated.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention my first real Value Village haul! I went in there yesterday because I was craving a couple new articles of clothing. I came out with $30 worth of VV merchandise, which included:
- 1 pair of red skinny leg pants
- 1 pair of blue jeans
- 1 black cardigan
- 1 dark denim jacket
- 1 ring
- 2 cute tops
- 2 necklaces
All at 50% off because I work there! Plus, I realized that my supervisor forgot to ring in two of the shirts. Boo ya!!! :)
Unfortunately, she also scheduled me to work the entire weekend, all of the shifts being opening shifts. Booooo (minus the "ya.")
Tomorrow evening I'm on call ("to be there...") so I hope they don't need me because it's mini-Friday again (ALREADY?!) with Todd! Yippee.
Another reason one could tell that I'm in a super mood, is the increased use of words Mallory does not regularly use... i.e. "boo ya" and "yippee."
Anyway, g'night!
Luff,
