a piece of advice

So after much thought and consideration, I have decided to remind all the boys of the world to get a haircut. Having long(ish) hair rarely looks good and usually looks gross. I don't mean a crew cut, which I also don't recommend, but a decent haircut that is flattering. It's worth the money if you don't have a female friend who can decently trim your hair. Go to a nice salon--you get a little head massage and they make your hair smell nice and it's really all quite pleasant.

I'm saying this because I keep seeing pictures of boys that are cute now and weren't before or vice versa and the only real difference is the hair. In fact, I have a friend who I have dubbed "handsome." He wasn't called that before; he got a decent haircut, and he is quite the ladies' man now.

So dudes. For the ladies, for yourselves, listen to Steven Malkmus, and cut your hair.

new years resolutions

Now I still have an absurd amount of work to do, and I don't even want to sit and make a list because the thought becomes...I just started to gag a little bit.

Anyways, this is a belated (typical!) list of my New Year's Resolutions.

1.Keep my room tidy, which to make realistic concessions means:
a. make my bed regularly
b. do my laundry more than once a month (part of this means pruning down my wardrobe so that this is less feasible)
c. put clothes in laundry basket rather than scattering them across floor
2. Spend less time on the internet
a. Also, stop cyberstalking boys I have crushes on since it makes me feel weird and furtive and creepy, like child molesters must feel sometimes, right?
3. Stop procrastinating, which has seriously been on my list since I was 13, but I figure if I keep hoping, it'll come true.
4. Graduate, without suffering another nervous breakdown
5. Drink less (already accomplished somewhat, thus far)
6. Watch less tv, and as a result start reading books again
7. Start going to the doctor more, and by more I mean ever. I have not seen a doctor in about five years, aside from going to my friend who is a chiropractor.
8. Wake up at a reasonable time, which also means going to bed at a reasonable hour as well.

Here it is. There are probably more, but I can't deal with all that right now.
