Went to Uwajimaya's. Resisted the call of Gothic & Lolita Bible, only to buy a magazine full of glossy pictures of haircuts instead. Oy.

To cut my hair short, or not? Hmmm... Cutting one's hair should not be a soul-wrenching decision. I have no idea why it is for me. I think part of the reason my hair is so long, is so that I didn't have to freak out about what style I'd get it cut.

Cutting my hair short has always made me look younger, and until recently that was a major reason not to. It's not as much of a worry anymore--people are starting to more accurately guess my age when they see me, these days. Well, they still think I'm 22 or 23, but at least I don't look underage to vote or drink, and that's fine with me.

But, I thought about it today--yes, it's glorious to have long hair, but I never ever wear it down!! When I go out, it's in pigtails (a distinctive look, admittedly, that I'll be sad to give up in some ways). When I'm at work, it's in a braid or two. Even on stage for a concert, it's pulled off my face.

If I get it short I'll have to wash it pretty much every day (I wash it about every other day currently). And keep it trimmed and stuff.

Hmmmm... *pondering*

Also bought more dye, and all sorts of foods I only get at Uwajimaya's (red bean cake, anyone?). Mmm...seaweed. And fortified, unsweetened soymilk. I don't like buying Silk brand, because they're owned by people who also own a bunch of dairy stuff. When I saw Vitasoy at the VegFest I asked them if they had an unsweetened fortified soymilk and they said no. Liars. You just have to buy it at an Asian grocery store. I need to arrange a ride and just buy a case. Yay for b12 and calcium for the lazy. And cereal-addicted. ;^p

I had a dream last night that several of my teeth fell out. In my dream, I could feel the holes in my gums with my tongue, I could even taste them. Freaky shit, man. My only guess is it's because I flossed before I went to bed, something I'm not in the habit of doing but seriously need to, as it hurt like hell. I gotta take better care of my gums, they already want to do surgery on them and I really would like to avoid it.

My afternoons/evenings go so much better when I remember to take my afternoon dose of Adderall. Speaking of which, I need to refill it.

Aaaand tomorrow I'm sending off my monthly payment to Sallie Mae, my credit card payment, and $625 to PCC; and I still have a bit of spending money for Pirate's Gathering. Life is looking up on the financial front, for sure. *happy dance*
