It's Been Forever

I honestly haven't had much to write about lately! Or maybe I have and I've been too lazy. For one MAJOR thing (to me anyway) is that Daniel and I are going to see The Sound Of Animals Fighting live in March!!!! I am so fricken happy about that. It's one of the things I wanted to do before I died if I had the opportunity. After all, they are a band that "stopped existing". It's going to be in Philadelphia. I cannot wait. It seems like a dream. I know it won't feel real until I'm there. We were going to go to the NY venue, but it's much bigger. I wanted a closer, and more personal experience. The Philly venue is much smaller :)

The last few days I've been getting back into my minimalism a bit, or maybe simplifying I should say. My bonus room has just been a mess and I really haven't been using it since summer. I used to do make up in there until my kitten knocked over, and broke my mirror. Since then, I've just stopped using it and started filling it with "stuff". But over the last couple days, I finally started sorting through things. Right now I have a few piles. 1) goodwill 2) stuff to take to my moms 3) stuff to try and sell at a used clothing store 4) stuff I'm not sure about yet 5) stuff that needs to go into the attic 6) stuff I want to try and sell on Amazon. As you can imagine, that's pretty overwhelming. I'm going to try and attack them in this order. 1) take stuff to moms 2) try to sell clothes 3) goodwill 4) put stuff in attic 5) sell stuff on amazon 6) figure out what to do with stuff I'm not sure about. Most of the piles are pretty tiny. Luckily the only stuff in my "Amazon" pile is 2 c.d.'s, the pair of shoes I got married in, and a book that I ironically bought off Amazon. I have a feeling I won't end up selling any of those things on Amazon, but we'll see. I can't wait to get rid of that stuff. It's been weighing on me for a while now. I really need to be more mindful of what I'm bringing in. I've been slipping since I've moved in the house, but I gotta get back on it. I just hate when you buy something that you honestly like and think you're going to use and then you don't. It's so frustrating, because it's just a waste of money. I mean I've definitely gotten a lot better about it over time though.

I bought an orange Crosley record player! I used to have one a couple years ago, but ended up giving it to my brother. I ended up really missing having one, and wanted a modern one with internal speakers. So I got one off target.com with free shipping for $80! Not bad. I'm kind of sad though because there was some dirt in it when I received it. I tried to get it out, but of course it smeared on the cream colored felt. It's not super noticeable, but I know it's there. I also bought 3 records from a band called Boards of Canada. One of my favorites. Also my favorite band for listening to at night when I'm doing stuff in my room.

I keep thinking about tattoos lately! I would love to get one I just want to be 100% sure. I know I want to get a feather, but I don't know the exact placement and the particular way I want it shaded in. I've just felt rather boring lately with my appearance and feel like I need to change something. I need my hair cut too, but it's finally getting long so I don't want to cut it! I know it'll look better though. I want to get a v-cut in the back. But I'll probably only get like 3/4 of an inch taken off the length. Getting it cut into a V will naturally cut off a lot of my ends anyway.

Well I guess I should head to bed. I'm starting to get hungry and I really don't want to eat before bed.
