birthday y2k+8 was the biggest and oldest non birthday ever! i had to work that night until 9 and work the next day at 10- it largely went unnoticed (thank you to my girl erin for the funniest card ever). i received much-needed funds from my parents and grandfather. a week or so ago, i was going through this scrapbook i have of old letters and found some my grandfather used to write to me. they were so wry and real- his mind has dissipated just so much. in phone conversations its so cyclical- the same questions, sometimes 2 seconds later. mental decay is just so heartbreaking to witness- especially because it is my grandfather and because there isnt any "cure" and i know it will get worse.
ANYHOW, i celebrated my birthday with jen last night and it was great times as i have not been out in forever. we went to the RED DIRBY (which is a bar) and caught up which was so so nice. also for the 3423th time since my hair being dark, i got told i look like lilly allen. i dont get it. is this a bad thing? i mean, i dont think shes ugly but i dont see how i look like her other than having dark hair and bangs.
speaking of HAIR (which seems to be a frequent topic as of late and i apologize for that), i got my hair did on saturday. i went to MY salon (not my work) and it turned out so so pretty and i am in love with it. i had been doing it myself for months because i: a) was unemployed b) couldnt justify getting a one-process color and paying for it c) was recovering from being blonde and my hair strands being still very porous and therefore having to dye several times at first. this resulted in hair that LOOKED okay from the top but was super patchy under-neath and un-even where i missed places.
so my hair is finally an even color of the darkest brown before black aaaaand it has little peeking patches of purple and dark blues. i am so in love with it as it is peacocky and just what i wanted. i am very worried about going into work and being yelled at or even told that i have to cover it up or whatever. if that is the case, i shall quit. nobody puts baby in a corner! jkkk.
also, i was planning to visit atlanta in april but airline prices are way up from last time. i was going to met mike's parents (which is a big deal amirite)? i am going to hold off until may (which may be even more expensive to fly) but i hopefully will set up interviews and we will look at places to live so i can justify spending that kind of money vs frivilous visit.
kbye.
