Note: I have never uploaded pictures here before. I can’t see the pictures that I upload. If someone with working eyes could tell me if they need to be fixed/changed, I would love you past eternity. Really. That said …
This is what I did to my hair. I like it a lot, it’s just not quite the change I was expecting. But everyone says I should leave it this way and not cut anymore because of the crazy things my hair does and also I guess I just don’t have ‘the look’ for shorter hair, whatever that means. Anyway the point is, I can’t decide whether to leave it or cut it more and the point of posting the picture is, I never have before and I wanted to see how it would turn out. So end pointless paragraph.
I want a constelation globe. Seriously how awesome. And glowing stars like the ones on my ceiling at school (I didn’t put them there, it was a lovely surprise) and one of those stick-on moons, the kind you get for ten-year-olds. And they try to call me a grown-up. 
Found this picture at Pearls & Tea by the way.

I’ve decided to experiment with different types of poetry. Trying to rid myself of chronic writer’s block, especially in that area. Poetry will probably never make me the big bucks but it’s necessary for my soul. I miss the flow of words. I usually hate putting constraints on my poetry, saying it has to look like this and flow like this and rhyme like that but I think it might help, to have some sort of guideline and something specific to try and achieve. Just for a while. We’ll see.
Right now the day is calling me and I’m going outside. Sunburned and sleepy, I haven’t felt so happy in a very long time. I didn’t even know how much I missed the grass and the sun and the birdsong and wind through the trees until I was out in the middle of it, swinging in our old falling-down hammock with a book. The book was eventually discarded in favor of a nap, which is when the sunburn came along. I do envy Miranda and her country setting a little, there were so many cars and slamming doors and conversations in other yards I just wanted to yell at the world to stop and listen for a while. Aaaaanyway this is the end.
