Randomosity

It has been awhile since I've blogged, so here is an update on my life:

I went on a random trip to Utah this weekend and it was amazing. It was really nice to get out of town and not be in the same mundane routine.

I'm reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. So far, so good. I'm reading them backwards because I've never read his other two books, but now I really want to. You should see a review of this book soon enough although it's taken me awhile to get through for some reason.

The revision/rewriting process of my novel Befall is still very frustrating and still at a complete standstill. However, I do have ideas and I'm going to see if they work. Time to just bite the bullet and just write no matter what.

Operation: Fabio is coming to an end. The longer hair has been fun, but I think I am going to cut it short again. This time, however, I may try something a little different. My friend, Kym, will be able to tell me if I can pull it off. I was going to see if I could find a picture of it, but I think I will just keep it under wraps for now. My next haircut appointment is the beginning of June.

I am seriously considering going back to school now. This means I have to study for the GRE and then take the dreaded test and ace it and then find a school that will take me. This also means more debt and whatnot, but it also means my brain won't be turning into mush anymore. I'm very excited for the opportunities this presents for me, and I hope I can hack it. As far as schools are concerned, Utah would be great, but I would like to go somewhere different and new, get involved in a different place culturally. Ideal spots would be California (very expensive, but the beach is right there!), Denver (random, but I hear it is a great place), Seattle, somewhere on the east coast like Virginia or North Carolina, or head south to Florida again. As you can see, I have not narrowed it down very well, but I have plenty of time for that.

Still obsessed with Zumba. It really is a great workout. My kettlebell class is cancelled for the summer which is a huge bummer. I also want to see about certifying to be a Zumba instructor and/or a kettlebell instructor.

That's all I can think of for now which is probably a good thing because I need to go to work.

Peace out, ya'all!

Operation: Fabio Week 6

Above: A back view. Sorry for the odd angle. I had a hard time figuring out how to get a good image of the back of my head.

It has been awhile since I've mention this. I realize that watching hair grow is akin to watching paint dry, so I will spare you a weekly posting of this and only do it when there is something to show. This post is mainly just to show progress even though it may not seem like much. I, for one, can tell a difference.

I had a trim from Kym on February 16th which helped it to lay better and not poof out like crazy on the sides.

Above: A top(pish) view of my hair. And a little bit of my not-so-clean room.

I've had some discouragement lately but I have told myself not to chicken out. Who knows? I may hate it when I get it to the length I've wanted, but I don't want to regret not doing it. So, to all you nonbelievers and naysayers, I say Let me do it and see for myself.

Above: A front view. And a weird smile. Not sure what I am doing in this picture.

There you have it. Until next time!
