Heading towards new horizons (I hope)

So today I went into the office, hoping I would be finally be deployed for work. However, I had no such luck… I am hoping to get sent out tomorrow, finally, but we shall see.

In the meantime, though, I had a fairly productive day. After the office, my mum and I looked around a greenhouse while enjoying the beautiful sunny weather. I barbecued a wonderful lunch, did some computery things, talked on the phone with my uncle, mailed off some stuff, went shopping with mum and my little bro, and made supper.

I had also picked up a new pair of glasses that afternoon, and after supper I got a haircut and dye job from the very best hairstylist in the world. The dark bob with blunt bangs makes me look like either Bettie Page or a 1920s flapper, or a bit of both. I approve.

Then I drove out to the bunkhouse, where some of my coworkers are living, to pay them a visit. I had never actually driven alone before, and it was an awesome experience. I felt so exhilarated and independent.

I am so ecstatic to be experiencing these physical and mental shifts. I was telling my hairstylist about all the boy drama, and she sounded so disappointed in me and how I’d dealt with it. I really want to change and somehow redeem and enrich myself.

I think this new album will be great if I keep going with this positive train of thought. I just need to do one last round of edits on album one, I think, and then let those feelings go. I am hoping to have a dramatic bonfire in which I burn all the paper copies of the lyrics for album 1.

It’s time to get positive.

ps; excuse the treacliness. sometimes it’s needed.

Listening to: “White Winter Hymnal” by Fleet Foxes. This band is AMAZING – a friend of mine told me about them earlier today. It’s like 60s-influenced harmonic baroque folk-pop, only more awesome than the name would imply. You must visit their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/fleetfoxes. DO IT. I am buying their album online posthaste.
