An entry, oh my!


So, uh, that's me. The days of the red hair have finally come to a permanent end, and I couldn't be happier. So far, reactions to the new color have been overwhelmingly positive. By the numbers: "Your eyes pop!": 9, "You look so much more mature!": 5, "You look like Bella Swan!": 3, "You look like Katy Perry!": 1 (Thanks... Mom.)

I'm currently trying to lose 5 pounds, just for the heck of it. It's going well, and I haven't found myself craving sweets at all lately. (Knock on wood. )

In other news, I'm finally done with my first year of college! Crazy! Where does the time go?!

This is such an ADD entry, really. I could've turned it into a Recent Findings post, but I've found myself craving a little more substance lately (because really, when you think substantial, you think this blog.). So here are a few more random facts about my life as of late:

1. I have developed a certain fondness for rhinestoned Ed Hardy t-shirts. I am trying to convince myself that this is ironic.
2. This summer is going to be a good one, creatively speaking: improv classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade coupled with playing Marcy in Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. The latter is really very exciting for me since this role involves onstage drunkenness, an offstage threesome, and more F-bombs than a Christian Bale rant. Aww... theatre.
3. In other news, I saw Jay Leno driving in Burbank today. He was in a superhero car. If I tell hackneyed Clinton jokes on sorta-late-night TV for fifteen years, can I have a cool car like that too?
4. I have recently developed a bad case of Face Tan. (God only knows how, I don't tan!) It's really annoying and makes me look like I just blended my foundation badly, but it's real! I wonder if putting that Jergens Natural Glow moisturizing self-tanner lotion on my neck would work, or whether I should just tough it out. I'm still baffled as to how I got this way. Maybe it was my recent five-hour beach trip...
5. This:

Genius.
