I kind of hate New England right now, which I’m sure I’ll take back come late May when it’s 60 degrees and lovely outside. But for now, ick. There is SO MUCH SNOW. The first storm was kind of amusing, and then there was another. And another. And another. I’ve been back in school for two weeks and we’ve missed four days. : P But today! The snow is melting, the sun is shining, and my car was all nice and warm when I got in it earlier. When that happens, I like to pretend it’s actually spring. I’m good at ignoring six foot snowbanks when I feel like it.

Anyway, this is my excuse for not having posted since… September? I actually wrote most of an entry in December but didn’t finish or post it, about dying my hair purple. That was fun while it lasted, but I got sick of the fading weirdness after about a month and dyed it over mostly-normal-person red.

As for what crafty things I’ve been doing lately… not a whole lot. I’ve taken some photos, and picked up a knitting project from two years ago, a cowl that probably won’t be done until spring anyway. I’ve been meaning to paint and collage and cook, but cold weather and a lack of sunlight tends to sap my motivation.

Also, I’ve been going back through old Birthday Massacre albums and listening to them all again, since I’ve played the new one so many times now.

Lame entry, I know. I should at least start cooking nice things again. Perhaps tonight! We shall see.

It’s all synths and 80s goth weirdness. Dig.

I mentioned I love to dye my hair, right? Right now it’s this color.

Oh, and we’re swing dancing. Perhaps a bit drunkenly…

Spin spin!
