so, i have become a person with good hair days and bad hair days. i never understood this before. i do not enjoy my newfound understanding of this problem. the first time i washed it after i got it cut, it was curly and awesome and i loved it, and it was easy to get it to do that that so i thought i would be able to do it all the time. but no. it hasn’t been curly since. it has been frizzy and fuzzy and just plain sticky-outy, but not curly. this morning i tried to make it curly, but it’s so fluffy that even the ponytail looks ridiculous.
hmph.
last night as i was sitting around after dinner with friends, a super scary thing happened, with a dog and a seizure and a falling (like five feet) off the back porch of the house we were at. i had bad dreams about it. poor seizey dog. beware the ides of march!
final projects are almost over, except the database that i have to make go for my independent study. i can do the database OK but we’re also doing some things with visual basic, which i don’t understand at all. gr.
next term i get to learn javascript and XML and PHP and it will be terribly exciting.

i love grey and spattery, of course, but today, waking up to the sound of crows, the water droplets on my glasses as i walked to school, and the dark-haired girl with the tweed jacket and red polka dot purse who was yawning as she let herself into her apartment at 9:30 this morning have all for some reason combined to make me nostalgic. i don’t know if it’s for eugene itself, all the places and movies and burritos and sushi and bike rides, or if it’s for undergrad and something, anything, that’s less tiring than grad school, or if it’s for the people, most of whom wouldn’t be there anymore even if i were. it’s a little strange to be nostalgic for everything that happened over the span of five or six years. freshman-year lauren and second-senior-year lauren were so different, but i miss them both.

this is what the front of my head looked like on friday morning:

my favorite pictures of myself are ones where i am looking at the ground, or my feet, or my food.

and this!
even though this picture was taken today, this is a mostly accurate representation …

… of what my head looked like on friday night.

did you know my hair was almost curly? i didn’t know it was almost curly.
apparently it’s almost curly.


aww, the tiny little ponytail!
(i’m afraid i’m going to be ostracized from library school now that i can’t make it into a proper bun.)


when it’s wet, it’s even curlier! just wait until i take it to the beach!
(also, jesus god i look like my sister sometimes. also, pink.)


here, i am very pleased with myself.
i like this picture even though i’m looking at the camera.

after the wake – you know, for the hairs – i came home and read this story my sister wrote about me and cried and cried.
