This morning I woke from dreaming and just stretched, like I do every morning, but after hearing my joints crack I just stopped and pondered what it will be like for me to be old. Will my wrists start hurting first? Or my ankles? What about my hands? Will I have problems writing? And then I pondered my mortality. I don’t want to die. I am twenty years old and I am dreading every step I take toward my future. What twenty one year old lays in their bed snuggling with their cat and boyfriend thinking of dying? I should be running around dangerous, unstoppable! Ignorant of death!

But it also got me thinking that I don’t know why I’ve been neglecting to post as much content in my entries as I have been, and then well, it hit me. I need change. Something as ridiculous as a layout change. I need that constant motion-with everything in my life. If I can’t be satisfied that every day that goes by I am closer to the end- then I want to remember it- I want to be remembered- even if it is as that eccentric weirdo on the internet.

And so I cut my hair, in a desperate attempt to resemble someone admirable and glamorous- someone remembered - Like Audrey Hepburn.


(Just kidding: it’s a wig. I had you fooled though, didn’t I?!)

I was totally duped! But I’m pretty gullible like that. I’d like to think of it as being refreshingly gullible.

I love the layout! I haven’t seen it until now! O.O You have some talent when it comes to web design to say the least.

And you totally had me fooled. But before I knew it was a wig I thought it was really cute! Like a pixie. ^^

And about the dying part, I just see it as looking ahead. Being realistic, because at some point we actually will be effected by that. Though I agree, you should be focusing on the here and now and not worrying about something so far off. Besides, when you get to that stage and perhaps end up in a wheelchair, who says you cant have fun with that? Wheelchair races all that way!

Hahaha! You dickhole! I fell for it…
And yes, Jake is 100% right when he said you are the weirdo on the internet. And you always will be, but that’s what’s so good about you. ; )

Darling Bronwyn, thank you so so much for your compliment AND your perspective on growing older. Wheelchairs ARE the way to go. ;)
(And I just put the layout up this morning, so you haven’t missed much- there’s still lots to fix with it too.)

I say, “Do it, babe.”

You look amazing now matter how your hair is cut. And sometimes that change is TOTALLY worth it.

Hack at it.
Trust me, I know better than anyone, it grows back. No matter how short you cut it.

; )

It’s all about you, sexeh.

I dont believe in ‘death’ anymore; for me at least it will be like growing up again. Now as I grow older, I look back on my previous self, as a child with a kind of naivete, simpleness and removal from anyone that I am now. A child wonders, and is filled with awe and questions about the world. As you grow, hopefully you gain the wisdom and knowledge to answer these questions. Having simple and vibrant feelings as children, adults usually would like to experience them again, but cannot trade it for their gathered wisdom, no matter what they do. I believe this is what part of death is. Your mind and spirit have a chance to grow beyond the confines of your body and experienced existence. Sure you will look back and yearn to feel such simpleness, but you cant trade it for anything. Thats my current view at least, we will see how it changes in the years to come!

The “Just kidding: it’s a wig. I had you fooled though, didn’t I?!” part of your post could suggest TWO things! One you just popped on a wig, or TWO you SHAVED YOUR HEAD and plopped on a wig!

I like bald women… SOMETIMES!

GO GIRL! BUTCH POWER! DO IT! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thank you for sharing that theory with me, it makes the whole “process” of growing older a little less frightening. I do hope that what you have shared with me is the truth- because it is very frightening to think I will just wither away after all this love, hate, learning, and just- disappear.

PS- Aidan- I was JUST talking about being bald yesterday. The truth is, I’m still thinking I might chop it off. :)
We’ll see.
