which leaves me feeling like i love how all over the place i’ve been, good and bad.
i’ve also been realizing as i get older that NYC is really fucking tiny. and the older i get, the closer the social circles are linked.
(this has been proven many times in the last year…)

i got bored last night and tipped my bangs with some lie locks i had hanging out on the shelf…
i just can’t seem to shake them purple hues!

i’m going to trim my hair, finally re-cut in my jess-traditional short/straight “pin-uppy” (#barf) bangs, put these two colors in one half of those bangs and make the rest jet black happen next week.

i need a change.

bleach still won’t lift this fucking teal/green under the purple… made for a cool gradient for a bit… added purple haze back though, was just touching up the roots. (if for some reason you give a rats ass<3)

so tired.
itchy/burning head.
…off to shower.

so yeah, came home… couldn’t sleep. heat dried me out, couldn’t breathe… so i called in sick today. i have to invest in some melatonin because this whole taking some nyquil to pass out sometimes, doesn’t work out in my favor. i felt like a pile of hot shit this morning, and i was pretty sick at the beginning of the week… when i’m run-down, it really hits me hard.

i watched a little trashy tv (maury/jerry) and then a movie (the wristcutters, again – although i will remind myself not to, again.) and napped. did the judge judy thang and went to little neck (yep, long island) to go to my old bosses new restaurant – erica’s working over there… i haven’t seen her in almost two weeks and i have been meaning to go over there anyways… haven’t seen my former boss in over a year…

hung out with a few former co-workers and erica’s sister for a while, then she drove me home.
it was good to see her… i get such withdrawal when i don’t.

my hair got complimented thrice today, one old lady told me it looked like a peacock and that i should keep doing it while i’m still young – told me to ride it out, lol.

…looking forward to work in the morning, going to go get a good nights sleep

although i shouldn’t complain about this year too much… i made some great friends/reconnected with others this year though, although brooklyn was short lived it was fun… only thing i hope for the rest of this year is to get into my fucking apartment already and to have a person to kiss on new years…

a little premature to be bringing up new years, whatever. i’ll just get it out of the way now, lol.

…taken from last years wrap up post:
“my goals for 2009?
moving out, having fun, learning more for/through work and filtering out useless people and things.
and getting rid of the red base my hair has had to endure in 2008.”

- got a lot done. haha “useless” people. le sigh.
i did get rid of that red base.

fuck it, i’m going back to black in 2010. it’ll look hot with other sectioned colours/half bangs mixed into it.

i dyed my bangs this milk chocolate brown colour i constantly try to describe to missy and we can never actually place… but i think it came out this colour because i dyed it over the horrible orange my hair was rocking the past week…

i’ve had a cold since sunday
today i felt better because i had a good nights sleep, but i developed a horrible cough that i guess was just clearing everything out… sounded gross but felt good.

i would be sleeping already if the damn rangers weren’t playing in another time zone, lol… i want to get a good nights sleep so i feel good tomorrow when i see renate! how fun?! now i just have to meet dr.ew and my web-to-real-life will be complete<3 lol

i miss sophie
she’s been in greece for the last two weeks, and i’ve needed her attention, support and hugs and she’s not here… worst. and while i was living in damn bayside too, dammit… i think she returns on friday. i’m going to have to steal her! i need help and guidance! things have been confusing and rough lately…

okay, need sleepy.

sorry about the slight blur on the pics, i’m the worst with my iphone.
i’m always capturing (literally) on-the-go photos…

i want to move into frankie’s apartment already. (so excited.)

i want to dye half of my hair a darker shade of brown than what it is all over.

i need to do crunches and get this gut off.

i want a tan.

(debating on a few fake and bake sessions.  what? just a few…  been there, done that – shut up.)

“god only knows” by the beach boys, has been stuck in my head ALL DAY.<3

worked on virus’s at work all day.

watched it snow today. (please, no mas.)

going to sleep early, again.

more interesting posts soon, i promise.  lol.<333
