Okay, I am going to reveal what a total LAZY ASS I am by stealing one, count 'em, ONE question from a meme posted by the fab ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
wordsthatfail.
List the three to five biggest things going on in your life:
- HAIR, HAIR, HAIR. My hair is driving me insane! First, the gray is coming in fast and furious. I have to color it every three weeks and even then, I still have a skunk stripe along my part in that third week. It's weird! And all the coloring plus blow dryer action is making my coarse hair even coarser. Also, I still haven't found a style or stylist I really love, so it's still all about experimenting (often with blah results).
I cannot believe one the biggest things in my life right now is HAIR.
- Writing. I have been dabbling in drabbles and poetry, mainly to keep my hand in. I don't know if I've ever been really serious about it, but it makes me happy to play with words and goodness knows I'll burn out soon enough and put it all aside again. Best to enjoy it while I can.
- Music. I have started (yet again) to move all my CDs to iTunes. It's fun, seriously! *stabs eyes out* Looking forward to various concerts and contemplating one or two more before the year is out as well. I tend to forget how much I enjoy music and how it cheers, consoles, and makes our silly little selves feel understood.
- Exercise. Sort of. I belong to the gym at work and if can get 150 visits in a year, I get a 100% refund of my monthly dues. Last year, I got a 50% refund, but I am going for the gold this time! Is it wrong that I want to kill the perky, orange girls who work there? Seriously, dude - no one needs that much tanner. Bronzer? Whatever. YOU ARE ORANGE.
- Family. Well, family is always important, but I was just thinking yesterday as we celebrated Father's Day together: my parents and my brother are not in the best health. I could probably afford to spend more time with them, particularly my bro. And I make excuses sometimes because I feel like I deserve my down time and mostly, I like being on my own or with JP. Going to visit usually includes planning an activity and putting on my happy face and sometimes the happy face just won't go on, you know? But I need to get the fuck over it and start acting like a grown up. So, this summer will be the resurgence of family time! Whether they like it or not, LOL!
Hmm, actually felt nice to get all that out. Hooray for catharsis!

I would love that, actually! I would like to dye my skunk stripe blood red! LOL...
Yes, I don't know what's going on but I'm so damn peppy lately. ^________^
Dude, and we so need to get together to dish about stoopid boys. Seriously. Although, JP is being irritatingly sweet lately, so once again he is no help to me. ^_~

So, yes. Hair is important, yo. *nodnod*
And! EEE, music is so much love, and, yes, the Tangerines, they should, y'know, kindly
or not-so-kindlycease to exist.And. AUGH. *sends Internet hugs your way* Failing health is such a scary thing to witness and just. Yes. *sends moar hugs*
