the kooks-sofa song

this is a fan video made from 2 people in Russia, but i like the way they used the stop-motion type animation.

grow baby, grow

okay, i'm trying to grow my hair out so it's healthy and long. for the past 3 years i have bleach washed it twice, laid out in tanning beds for almost 2 years with it unprotected and cut my own split-ends with dull scissors. this post will be dedicated to my hair growing attempts.

i read this long hair blog http://www.longlocks.com/how-to-grow-long-hair.htm a couple weeks ago and i've been trying my hardest to abide by her rules. no, i don't want hair past my butt however, i would like full, healthy hair that's almost to my elbows. i bought some of the products this lady suggested and the stainless steel scissors and i cut off the rest of my dead hair. so i'm praying that this actually works, cause otherwise i'm just gonna resort to extensions and i know those are a pain in the butt.
i'm a person who always wears her hair down, i hate up hair on me. i talked to an old friend at a baby shower a couple weeks ago, whose hair is so long that i thought she must have extensions, and she told me that her hair grew the most when she wore it up for about 6 months and didn't really style it that often. now, i know that me saying that seems like a huge "DUH." but for someone who only wears her hair down, actually realizing the truth to wearing my hair up was a huge surprise for me...
so we'll see how it goes, i'll update on my progress. but for now, no dying, no styling. only trimming and conditioning.... yikes, keep your fingers crossed for me!

regret

it used to really annoy me when people would say they had no regrets, i always thought you couldn't really say that statement without it being false. but after my really rough times and stupid decisions, especially ages 19-20, i can say that i do not regret anything i have done.
 sure, i've done some really stupid and some terrible things... but i look at the person i've become because of them and it's a whole lot better than the person i was. i guess i can understand when people say they wish they would have just taken the easy route in life but easy is boring and each bump in the road has made me a little bit stronger.
 i am not finished becoming the fully-developed human being i hope to be one day but i would not have come this far without those mistakes and the hard life-lessons i had to learn from them.

song for this ranting: Ooh La La by Faces

layout

i've decided i'm a fan of this plain blog set-up so i'm just gonna keep the basic template. who knows, maybe the creative thoughts will flow now...

Across The Universe

watched this movie again last night. every time i watch it something else stands out to me, this time it was the song "Let It Be". carol woods voice gives me the chills, she comes in at about 1:23... this movie has definitely become one of my favorites.
