Goin' Goin' Goinnnnn' DARK.

Some of ya'll might've noticed that I dyed my hair!

I've had my hair multi-colored for a pretty good chuck of my life. I actually got kind of emotional about it, to be honest with ya'll. I started dyeing my hair when I was in the 6th grade, and I've had just random colors coming in and out of it since then.

I'm 21 years old and this was the state of my hair:

I had four different sections of blonde, brown hair that had red streaks through it, and pink/purple tips.

AND THIS: is my hair now!

I used a "Cherry Red" color on my hair. :)

 

It's weird how a hair color can reassure you that you have really grown up, and you are really doing awesome things in your life.

5 Things: SUMMER EDITION.

Hey ya'll :)

I've made these "five things" post for most seasons already, but I thought it'd be kind of cool to do this "summer edition" with a bit of a twist.

FIVE THINGS I'M UP TO THIS SUMMER:

1. READING! I've been keeping track of all the books I've been reading in a draft on here, with mini reviews as well. I'll post it once the summer is up.

2. Hanging out with my friends every chance I get. :)

3. Stressing over what I'm going to take in the Fall. I know that's a really nerdy thing to say, but ugh, I am. I've been constructing my "preferred list" for a few months now. ugh.

4. Working shows at 1919. I will say the best one this month was the Pity Sex//The World is...//Cat People//Two Knights//Dads show. It kicked ass.

5. ALSO, playing shows!

ME! (Olivia took this awesome photo)

And here's where the twist comes in!

FIVE THINGS I MISS ABOUT LAST SUMMER:

1. How much more relaxed I was! I don't know why, but this summer has been a huge stressful ball of fucking stress. I guess this comes along with growing up and having more responsibilities.

2. The fact that I wasn't completely broke. (Yeah, little known fact to my internet frandz, but I am completely and utterly so broke. I am lucky I still live with my parents.)

3. My brother coming to visit! That made last Summer amazing, and I'm sad he's not coming this summer.

4. How much I got together with my old friends from high school. So far we haven't planned a get together this summer, which kinda sucks. I've seen some of them separately, but I hope we all get together sometime before this summer is over..

5. ALSO, my hair. Early on in summer I had this pink dip dye hair, before I did the blonde stuff in the photo above. I don't miss my undercut, but I miss this coloring:

It'd be cool if some of ya'll did this post too, if you do you should totally tell me! I'd love to read each of your five things.

Love, Noralee

Here's how it looks on.

Wore my Celine Dion perfume today, haven't worn it in forever.
When I got home, I burnt my "Leaves" candle, listened to some
Julia Nunes, worked on my windowsill plants, and sipped on some Coco Cafe.

I'm doing some paintings in my humanities class and so I worked some sketches up for it in my moleskine.
