My most recent entry was in September. Clearly, I lose at the game of internet blogging. Possibly just in the category of writing up detailed personal accounts of my days, but also a little bit in the finishing-stories-that-have-been-in-progress-for-almost-three-years column as well.
I started the year with a glaringly obvious spray tan (bad experience, bad, bad experience) and chunk highlights that should never be spoken of again and have finally come around to my senses. Which is a fairly strange transition, once you've looked at several pictures chronicling the fairly random transformation. Blame Brokeback for putting me into a headspace that made it seem okay to turn my back on my roots (literally).
The fall (and now the winter) went by much faster than I had anticipated, but I don't regret that at all. I am oddly detached from all of that and come away from the last two months with six more pairs of shoes than I had in the beginning. Baby steps are taking me out of the basement and into the world again.
Sitting on the water fountain outside a stripmall yesterday (I took the bus there, too, so judge me at will), I was listening to The Arcade Fire on my discman (because I have not yet upgraded to MP3). I don't even really remember what particular line it was, but all of a sudden, I could remember what it was like to hear them for the first time. Then I felt old. And hopelessly quasi-indie. Save me!
