Freelance Whales

In case you were looking for a way to have your mind blown this evening:

Here is a video by Freelance Whales.
When I watch this video, I can't believe that these sounds are coming out of these people. I mean, they are barely moving. But the sounds are wonderful.

Go to their myspace. I don't think you will regret it. Well, unless you really hate their music, but I can't see how that would be possible.


(Click on the video to watch it in youtube. You can't see the whole thing here. So sad.)

22 & not pregnant.

Of all of the days that I have experienced in my life, yesterday probably would not rank among the best.

To begin, I awoke in the morning with a stupid migraine. It hurt to keep my eyes open. So I called off of work, and slept instead. It was great. By the afternoon, I felt much better.

Anyway, I also came to some realizations. After some stressful dealings with my credit union, I went into a bout of catastrophic thinking. I'm poor, I'll never get a better job, I'll be paying debts off for my whole life, I won't be able to to go to Spain thanks to my debt, etc. Then I decided that none of the "goals" that I had established for my "transitional time" at home have been met. So all of that lead to feeling like a failure. haha. I told you, it was catastrophic thinking.

Anyway, I talked it out with my mom, and she told me to basically chill, and that things will be ok. And then I felt a little better.

...Until I started thinking about my haircut again. haha. She was going to get her hair done by our friend, so I asked if she could try to fix mine a little as well. I basically felt horrible when I got there. haha. I mean, I knew it wasn't a great haircut, but she let me know just how bad she thought it was. haha. "I don't like to criticize other peoples' work, but this is really bad." haha. That being said, she told me that she wouldn't be able to do much, just tweak it a little. So now I had these ideas in my head about how horrible it was, and no way to make it better. Ugh. She trimmed it up a little, and by the time she was done, I wanted to cry. haha. It's sooo short now. Even shorter than before. And my bangs are annoying and short. Ugggggh. I hate haircuts.

So anyway, yesterday wasn't so good.
But, right before bed, I was watching 16 & Pregnant, and I realized that no matter how helpless I felt about my finances and job prospects, or about my ability to make my hair grow at superhuman speeds, things could be worse. Thank God I'm not 16 or Pregnant. ...Or for that matter, thank God I'm not 22 and pregnant either.

:/ :| :D :/ :D

Here's what's new in my life. Or semi-new. Or not really new at all.

• I got a haircut. It's really short. And I'm really insecure about it. Because people just say "Oh, you got your hair cut!" .... Or some people say, "Hair grows back fast..." I don't know how that makes me feel. haha

• As if Jesus' example wasn't a good enough reason, the tv series 'Hoarders' has helped me decide to part with a large portion of my possessions. That tv show is terrifying.
  

• I am going to Las Vegas next week! My mom is going to a conference for work, and they are paying for her to stay at the Venetian. I wasn't going to go. In fact, I originally had no desire to go. But after talking to one of my and my mom's friends, I decided that I definitely should. I had a free flight on Southwest. And I could just take a week off from work, lounge by the pool, read some books, and get tan. This is my major goal. haha. During the days that's my plan, and at night, my mom will be free, so we'll go out then. It should be fun. I am just really looking forward to some relaxation time. haha. I am lame. But seriously... a free vacation? Yes, please!
  

• April is the month that I find out whether or not I'll be going to Spain next year. I get nervous when I think about it. I need prayer.
  

• Spring makes me happy. Legitimately, I am a more joyful person in sunny weather.

That's pretty much it.
