Disappearing Act

It seems that I've made quite the disappearing act. While I can't promise that I'll be posting nearly as regularly as I was during the summer, I do want to start posting again. I think I was pushing myself too hard to regularly post content, even when I wasn't inspired. That, combined with a style rut (I hate everything I own) makes for a hard time blogging.

Anyways, quite a lot has happened in the past few months! Just to get you up to speed: 

Chop chop.

1. I chopped off my hair. I've been going thinking about it on and off since spring, but I started seriously considering it in July. But it's me, so it takes me approximately 5 million years to do something once I start thinking about it. Like now, I want to dye my hair (for the first time ever) and it will probably take me months to do. Though I want my hair to be longer first anyways (naturally), so I don't mind waiting. Anyways, I was all ready to make the appointment in September when I decided to be Katniss for Halloween. So, y'know, I couldn't because you can't be Katniss without the braid. Procrastinating aside, I did eventually cut it off.

Please ignore the horrible quality.

2. I was hired full-time. I started working as an intern a couple days after I graduated from college. In September, it was extended without a definite end date. It was kind of a "stay as long as you want" arrangement. In October, it was made official though and I was hired on full-time. Needless to say, I was pretty excited! I love the company I work for and the people (and animals) I work with, so I'm psyched that it's official now.

3. I moved out. I've moved out on my own for the first time ever (not counting college, of course). I now rent a studio in Seattle that I share with my cat and my dog (even though she drives me insane). It's basically a glorified dorm, but it's my glorified dorm. It's in an old building, which I love, though I don't love the condition (I've been waiting on a few repairs since before I even moved in...), but you get what you pay for, I suppose. It would be lovely to get my closet rod fixed though, so I can finally finish unpacking. Soon, supposedly. All annoyances aside, I really like the location I'm at. I'm close to the Seattle Center, and it's only about a 15-20 minute walk downtown. It's also outside of the main area of my neighborhood so it's a bit quieter (and safer, which is nice when you're dog insists on going outside at all hours).

So that's that. Like I said, lots of big changes! 

I'll try not to disappear again. I'm hoping the extra time I have in a day will help motivate me. Here's to a good start to the new year!

My commute is an hour shorter than before, and it's glorious.
