- To really stick with the whole healthy eating game. 2009 was a great year for me, but I know I may have won the first battle, but I have not won the war. I successfully cut out a lot of negative food out of my diet, and transition to low-fat/no-fat almost everything. These are achievements I’m proud of and habits I want to maintain.
- To continue to work out. I had a really strong run of working out, jogging, using my exercise ball and little weights and was pretty devoted to it. I’ve fallen on and off the wagon, and I want to use this chance to integrate new ideas - maybe yoga.
- I successfully quit smoking over a year ago now and feel like eradicating this bad habit has allowed me to see that I can do things to make myself feel better. I, of course, want to maintain that.
- Finally, in 2009 I achieved one of the most important things in my little world so far. Getting into graduate school and surviving my first semester was amazing. It is wonderful to wake up everyday knowing I’ve had the opportunity to do something I really love. So, I want to make sure I keep that in perspective, and try and remember how important that is.
- I also learned to be so much more patient and understanding with people. Being both away from and close to my friends has taught me to value my time with them, and make an effort. People give what they get, and I want to remember how important those people are. Also, being with Paul has taught me so much, about myself, about life and about communicating, adapting and compromising. I want to continue to work on that.

I have monstrous hair.
It’s way too thick, thinning has never helped. It falls out, seriously by the handful daily and never gets any less! It seems like I eat conditioner sometimes.
It grows uncontrollably, if I were conscious I would have to touch up my roots every 3 weeks, it grows about 1cm every three weeks. So, haircuts and professional dyeing is a waste of money…
I have a pretty extensive DIY ethic.
It’s curly, and uncontrollable. It’ll turn in a mane if unrestrained.
I have the hair that 80’s metal would have killed for.
Not to mention, I have abused it relentlessly for…mmm…12 years. I was 10 when my Mother first let me put red food coloring in my then blond hair to be Ginger Spice for Halloween, and 11 when my Father misguidedly told me I could dye it black. (Though, what 11 year old wants black hair is beyond me.)
It’s been bleached, it’s been black, auburn, strawberry blonde, white blonde, honey blonde, red, candy apple red, blood red, purple, green, blue, pink, orange, candy floss pink and basically a myriad of combos.
However, I’m not really complaining - it also does cool tricks. Like it’ll just…stay.
As a child, when I was busy not learning to read or count I was curling my hair around pencils, holding my fist around it, and setting it into corkscrew curls. I still do it when I’m busily not writing.
It’ll also stay perfectly straight if straightened - right up until it rains…and then I look like a raggedy anne dolly.
It also does this crazy thing if allowed to dry naturally where it clumps…as if it wants to form dreadlocks.
And it’s always got a tone of volume. It never looks lank or lifeless but rather like it’s about to attack and eat whoever is standing closest to me.
Anyway, I went today and bought bleach and pillarbox red dye. My plan is to bleach out and dye part of my (homecut) bangs, a streak up from my temple, and possible the underside…if I have bleach. I’ll post pictures. I’ll likely do this while I’m procrastinating (incidentally, that’s how I got the bangs two weeks ago.)

It’s possible that I just handed in my shopping list with my 505 presentation evaluations. Way to go!
