Ok, several things of note have happened today already, and if I don’t mention them now, I’ll forget.
I saw two brown pelicans today on the way to the hair place. I know you’re probably thinking, “You’re from LA...that’s your state bird...what’s remarkable about that?” Well, Miss. Lane, it just so happens to be the first time I’ve ever seen a brown pelican in my entire life. That’s right. I kid you not. In all my 22 years of life, I’ve never actually seen a brown pelican. Weird no? In fact, I’m one of those people that think they should’ve had the Egret for the state bird. I mean, those birds are all over the place. But no, they had to do something unique. I don’t even think brown pelicans live anywhere above I90.
Ok, so I got my hair cut. I’d take picture and show everyone, but I hate taking pictures of myself and my hair’s wet. But it’s shorter, and it’s layered so it doesn’t feel so heavy, and the bangs are cut to frame my face. I like it.
Also, Mom and I went to Target. Now, usually going to Target means that we do a lot of ooohhh-ing and awww-ing and Want-want-want-ing, but today we actually bought some stuff...that is to say Mom bought some stuff...but it was mostly for me! We’ve been wanting to decorate my room with a Japanese style, and we found the most wonderful things! She got me these things that are basically just wall art, they have a little bamboo and a large kanji with a bunch of discrete little kanji. She also got me these candles that come in a round tray, and the candle holders have kanji all over them. I also think the candles are supposed to represent wind, water, earth, fire, and spirit...mainly because there was the kanji for wind and water on the plastic thing it came in. She also got me this journal that has an autumn leave on it with kanji on it. But the journal’s for something else later on...which I might disclose later, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise right now.

Mah Momma’s guud ta me!
And that has been my day thus far. We shall see how the rest goes later...if I’m up to posting. For some reason I’m so tired now. Maybe it’s just from being so energetic during the day. Oh well. Later!
