reset

i don't really believe in new years - or in new years resolutions, more precisely. because i DO believe that new years exists. you know. as a thing. it happens. but. i sort of hate the idea of everything being new and fresh, because it isn't. it creates a false sense of freedom which fades away somewhere in mid january or early february, and then everyone gets sad again.

but. i do believe in change. and getting inspired again. anew. (at any time of year.) and cutting off all of my hair was definitely an act meant to jumpstart something like that. as sarah-thomas said: 'long hair erin was kind of... well... sad erin...'. true. largely. and i don't think cutting my hair off will INSTANTLY make me a gladder-me, but it represents a letting go of things. and an openness to other things being possible and good and maybe even BETTER!

anyways. i'm gonna get me re-inspired. i am. i am gonna read magazines again for REAL and ENJOY them, and i'm gonna make mood boards, and MAYBE even sketchbook in the totally self-indulgent, emo way i did in first year art school. I am gonna try.

DOUBLE ANYWAYS! last night i couldn't sleep because it was belated-christmas-eve, and i was excited about belated-christmas. and i was all FEELINGS all on the surface of my skin. right up there. and i was reminded, by bryanboy how much i like that new song by robyn. you know? about dancing alone? and so i watched the video. and then i watched ALL HER OTHER VIDEOS! and i decided that a) i love her, and b) she is my newest style-icon. rock my socks robyn! what with her short hair that doesn't look butch or boyish, and her feminist-but-sexy sort of vibe. check it!
