a very ludo christmas was EPIC as always.  if you've never seen their christmas show in st. louis, put it on your list of things to do before you die.  it's worth it.  (christmas roadtrip to visit devon next year, yes?)

i cut my hair - eight inches of it.  and MAN does it feel great.  i love it.  talk about freedom...

gymnastics is haunting my dreams.  literally. 

i miss my internet friends a lot.  yes, i even miss those of you who i have met but once, and even those of you that i've never even met in person.  is that weird?

i've rediscovered my love for hookah.  : )

i was going to write a little reflection about this past year and my hopes for 2009, but i think that might be the perfect way to start my new blog.  i'll post the link here when i get it up and running.

i've been thinking a lot (what's  new?) but i'm not really in the mood to share those specifics right now.
but there are a few things i would like to share. 

first, i THINK i'm cutting my hair.  and i think i'm cutting off about seven or eight inches.  (freedom!)

second, i THINK it has come time to move on to a new blog.  i need a fresh start.  so in following of a lot of my friends, i think i'm going to start a new blog at blogspot.com at the beginning on the new year; what better time right?  i'll still update xanga occasionally, but for the most part, my life will be moving on at a new address.

i don't know what my deal is.  but lately i've been really nice and outgoing towards strangers and mere acquaintances.  and just the opposite to the people closest to me.  what the fuck.  what kind of "holiday cheer" has gotten into me exactly?

i'm HOME on BREAK for a MONTH. 

have i mentioned my excitement?  because it's bursting out of me in all directions.  i can't wait to SIT.  i can't wait to sit at Starbucks all day and read some books.  i can't wait for some alone time.  and i can't wait for fun things with long lost friends, too.

so on a different note, i've been sorting some things out.  and i think i've reached some conclusions. 

i have been realizing more and more each and every day that i don't need to be a cookie cutter person.  i don't have to settle down.  i don't have to get married and have three little children and live in a quaint little town.  i don't have to work a nine to five job every day and wear a dress suit.  i don't have to sit at a computer all day and type type type useless information that i don't give a shit about.  i can do what i want.  i can do what makes me happy.  and i don't have to live by other people's rules and standards.  you don't like that idea?  cool.  then leave me be.  because i know what i want [sort of.  for the most part].  i want to write.  and i want to be involved in the music industry.  i don't care what you think of me.  and i don't care if you scoff at my aspirations and call them stupid.  what?  did you say that the music industry is going downhill?  well precisely my point.  i want to DO SOMETHING about it.  because i have this insane amount of passion in me for WORDS and MUSIC and the PEOPLE in the bands that i love.  and sometimes it's just so much that i don't know what to do with it. i want the opportunity to work with people who have that same drive.  i want the opportunity to help music REACH people.  and i want those people to see the passion in it and feel the joy that i feel when i put my headphones on everyday.  i want it so bad.  i want it so bad it feels like my heart could literally burst.  i'm making myself giddy just typing this.  so now, tell me this...  what major shall i declare...?
