New Year, New Hair, New Me


So I started 2011 off with a bang. I dyed my hair. You say, well that's not that weird, but for about 98% of my life i've been blonde. I took a brief stint as a redhead before which turned out disastrous and turned me into a brunette (which I am not). This time I put my trust in my friend Aliya, and it turned out wonderful, though.

My new obsession with cooking continues as I made up my own recipee for teriyaki chicken, and it actually turned out really freaking awesome. Tonight boyfriend and I are gonna make a stab at tempura and sushi. Pray for us that we don't burn ourselves or end up with food poisoning.

School starts on Monday. I don't want to go, not even a little bit. I know it'll be good for me. I know I should. It doesn't matter, I don't want to do it. I've enjoyed my break so much, and I dread going back. I'm so terrified that I'll do poorly this semester (as that seems to be the trend since coming to ksu that I can't do well) and lose hope. And i'm not losing hope. If I lose hope that means I have to take out loans or go home, neither of which I really want to do, but one or the other will have to be done.

Still debating unifides. I need to debate quicker as the deadline is fast approaching. Still need to figure out what i'm doing for my birthday...but it's really difficult to decide when A. I have no idea how many people will feel like showing up that day B. I want to have a good time. C. I need it to be somewhere people under 21 can get in so that Tina and Katie can come. D. most people won't show up if they can't drink. E. I don't want various groups from my life to come and me not be able to talk to them. F. I want it to be enjoyable for everyone, but mostly me because hey, it's my damn birthday.

Still debating making my own cake as well. I'd love to have it made, but I don't have the money...so....probably making my own. Debating the idea of cupcakes. Again, problem with not knowing how many people will be there. Aliya showed me a good, cheap fondant recipee so I may go with that and attempt my own cake. If I knew it wouldn't turn out horribly ugly then i'd be gung ho to do it myself. Oh well, guess we'll see.

Thanks to anyone who reads my ramblings.
