It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. For one, I don't feel like I really do anything interesting enough to report on. And two, I don't have a decent camera to document things and make them appear more interesting. Maybe one of these days I will get a better camera, but for now I found Jon's old point and shoot camera, so that will have to do for now.
Hopefully I will have some things to post about soon! My cousin is getting married in September and in preparation for having a wedding ready up-do (I am one of the bridesmaids) I need to grow out and re-color my hair! Currently I have a double undercut (shaved on both sides and at the nape of the neck) with the longer portions of hair dyed unnatural colors. As someone who works in the fashion industry, it's not a big deal to have out-there style, but it's been over 3 years that I've had the undercut and I'm looking for some change (hence the constant dying it different colors). I think it would be interesting to post the growing out process as it may help anyone else trying to grow out an undercut? Also, I am designing and sewing my cousin's wedding dress, so hopefully I can update the progress of that on here as well!
Speaking of my cousin will be doing some shopping together at a few outlet malls this weekend while Jon goes gambling at the adjacent casino. We're looking to find my cousin her future wedding shoes! But if not, I'm pretty sure we will both be walking away with at least one big purchase (I'm looking for a new purse and wallet).
I hope to finally get into the swing of things and start posting on here more regularly! See you soon (?)!

Prologue... it's a start.
I would never consider myself a "good writer" by any means; my arsenal of vocabulary words is rather limited, yet I somehow use up too many words to explain myself. "Economy with words," as my 10th grade English teacher put it, was never my strong point.
So I apologize for my wordiness in advanced to anyone reading this. Hell, if you've made it this far I applaud you!
...But then maybe you're just like me and like to read about other people's lives, finding even the most mundane of topics extremely interesting. I don't mean this sarcastically nor as an insult! I genuinely just love to hear about what others are doing. It's like when you meet up with a friend and want to hear about how they've been. If anyone out there is reading this, I'd like to think of you as friends, and I hope you'd think of me like yours.
And so why am I creating this blog? Surely, I, more so than the rest of the world, lead the most boring of lives!! But I guess everyone always thinks themselves boring - when I find them rather interesting! (IMO, it's those who so desperately try to sound interesting that are in the most danger of being boring.) ANYWAY. Back on track. "Why am I creating this blog?" Mainly because I have always liked keeping a record of my life.
As a kid I always kept a journal. I would write things in it like how the boy I liked talked to me that day and other such nonsense. Rather boring stuff, but I guess it could be quite entertaining if you were trying to blackmail me. Then came the popularity of online blogs. I used to keep a livejournal when I was a teenager under the pen name "gumi_s." It was pretty much the same sort of junk I'd write in my childhood journals only it was public! And I actually had a small group of readers that consisted of close friends and fans of my deviantart account (initially, I was known as "Gucchama" then later "neo-mero" there).
Even though I've used blogs in the past, I was never really good at updating them. I'm still not quite used to the idea of all the posts being public. I had always kept journals for myself, so I could look back and see what I've accomplished and how I've grown. I wanted to be a witness to my own life. And then at 16 years old, I met Jon. We started dating when I was 17 and I guess he became my new life witness. After the first few "honeymoon" years of our relationship I saw less and less need to document everything. Probably within the last 5 years or so, I've become even worse at keeping a record, as I've completely stopped writing journals and don't even take photos. Furthermore, my memory is becoming fuzzy as I get older. I mean, I'm only 24 right now, but my memory for things was so much better when I was 20! And certainly I can't trust Jon to remember things, since he has a worse memory than I do!
So, here's the TLDR: I'm writing this to create a record for myself to see how I grow as a person and document my life. And if anyone else happens to stumble across this and find any of it useful or entertaining, then I'm happy to help!
