Personal Growth and Piercings

I probably should get into a bit more of a regular posting schedule.

It's been a while since you last posted.
Too long really. Not for lack of wanting to do it, more just being busy with university and everything. Life is grand, but there's not that much downtime for me really. Between all my general business and socialising, this blog has fallen by the wayside a bit.

Ok. I forgive you, just try not to let it happen again. Either way, feeling at the moment?
I think life is pretty good at the moment. My life always feels like it's pretty good. I've made lots of new friends this semester as well, which I question if it further distances me from my Melbourne friends. I feel like I've grown even more as a person as well. I feel like I should mark my personal growth by something. Ear piercings, maybe? I've been wanting to get it done for quite a while now. Three on my left ear lobe and two on my right ear lobe and one helix on my right ear. That's a fair bit of piercing.

Why all the piercings?
Does it make too grand a statement about my sexuality? Either way, it doesn't really bother me anymore. I think I've come to terms with it so much more this year, which I'm glad about. That's certainly one of the things that's changed this year.

You've said you changed, but what has actually changed?
I'd say again, I'm even more comfortable with my sexuality. I've learnt a lot, not just academic stuff, but about people as well. I feel at least a little more outgoing and able to talk to people I don't know that well. Physically, I don't think anything has changed, but that's kind of to be expected at 19. Maybe a bit more hair on my back and also, yes, a fairly dramatic haircut, which was really a long time coming, but I really like it, so it's all good.

Well wasn't that just a touch sappy? A little emotional waffle never does any harm really.

I Whip My Hair

I do whip my hair back and forth from time to time.

Whip your hair!
If I did, I'd potentially bang my head on the table. Anyway, Whip My Hair has so little relevance to anything, except hair whipping. I mean, it's fun and all, but yeah, do it too much and you'll get whiplash.

So I heard you saw some friends today?
Yes, this is true. I enjoying seeing my friends, especially considering I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was nice to see them and all. This is why living away from home is a bit of a downer. I mean, I've made a lot of new friends, but I find it takes roughly two years for me to feel like I'm actually close friends with someone and it's been a little over two months at the moment.

Does this mean you don't like people?
No, I like people most of the time, however I do have my days where I do feel somewhat misanthropic. I enjoy the word misanthropic, but the feeling itself is irksome. I was feeling rather misanthropic for a couple of weeks there, which wasn't overly fun. I mean, I live in a building with a whole lot of people, some of whom I like more than others, which is understandable, but a whole lot who I feel I just don't know. Partly I blame the design of the building for that, there's simply not enough common space for 419 residents. I think I harbour far too much resentment for not getting into a college, but really, for the purpose I'm at university for, where I am is really lacking.

Wow. Bitch fest much?
That isn't the half of it.

To happier territory, upcoming plans?
Away with the family over the Easter weekend on the annual Easter weekend trip, which I didn't go on last year as it clashed with Easter training for Olympiad, but I enjoyed that as well. I do hope there's venison this year again. Venison is amazing and far too difficult to find in Canberra.

Wait, why is this post titled "I Whip My Hair"?
As has been previously stated, I do whip my hair from time to time. Also the song is downright terrible. Up there with Friday, which I do have a soft spot for, and My Jeans, which I do not have a soft spot for and I think that song is amongst some of the snarkiest pieces of lyric writing out there.

Yesterday was Maundy Thursday, today it is Good Friday. We we we so excited, we so excited, we gonna celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Tomorrow is Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday comes afterwards. I don't want the Holy Week to end!
