Some stuff. Five stuffs, to be "exact".

1. I bought a cheapo flat iron at Target while I was there exchanging Elise's dresses, then when I got home, I straightened my bangs. Straight down this is not an improvement, as they are already too long that way. But pushed to the sides it's a HUGE IMPROVEMENT. Then, because it was hot already and a novelty and Ananda was standing there with me talking about my hair, I straightened it all for the heck of it. It's interesting; Aaron said I look really pretty in this awed tone and I know it's a more socially acceptable look in general. BUT. I really prefer the wild curly mess. I have a portion of wild curly mess on my bathroom vanity from when I cut my bangs, simply because I like to look at it, and by comparison? Yeah, even dismembered for more than a week, I like that better.

2. I understand a few of you have major problems with my informal, slang-ridden grammar. That's fine, and you can talk it up if you like. But I do not care and am not going to change. If I have to put up with reading things like "Jesus Fucking Christ", which I can barely even type, and "Crimmus" and "Giftmas" and things, you can deal with "Grant and I's last date" and "whatevs". I used to chronically mispell certain words without being aware: in those intances it was actually helpful for someone to say "Do you realize _____?" I don't need it to be pointed out to me that, say, I use "like" a lot or sometimes feature run-on sentences in my blog - I KNOW. There are surely some english professors our there recounting their days for your reading pleasure with a more appropriate level of smugness. I actually love a mixture of great vocabulary, metaphors, cursing, made up words and laughter - I think that's probably my ideal to listen to or read, so there you go. Do you know what gets ME worse than anything? When people lengthen the wrong part of a word. Like if people say they "loveeeeeeeee" something. I think you mean "looooooove", come on people!

3. My healing finger is weird, weird, weird. The actual wound where the incision was made is tiny and looks as though it might not even scar, at this point. The surrounding area is pink, as the old skin that was stretched by the swelling has since peeled away. But then my cuticle itself and some areas around it are ultra yellow, and I think I might lose the nail, as it moves far more than a nail should. Occasionally I wonder if it bad that my antibiotics have already run their course, but everything is at least the right size and shape again.

4. Jake keeps making these bizarre "jokes" today. He'll say something like, say, "Isaac, I dipped your toothbrush in poo water!" or "Elise, I'm sorry to tell you this, but your mom is dead. You can't have parents anymore." When someone acts shocked or offended, he goes "That's just a joke! Isn't that a great joke?!" and then laughs hysterically. He and Isaac were playing Truth or Dare (wth?) earlier and Isaac was daring him to do innapropriate things. I told him this, and so Jake said "Nevermind, I pick Truth". Isaac replied, "Ok, I TRUTH you to take off all your clothes and go outside yelling."

5. I have to step away from this formspring thing. Grant got one - http://www.formspring.me/theneolistickid and I'm having more than one three way conversation in the form of questions...it is EATING MY LIFE!

I read some of your formspring last night. I could never, ever do that. But it was fun to read yours. Heh.
