Home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

I have no idea what nursery rhyme/childhood saying that goes to. All I can think of is "This little piggy went to market..." and I know that's not right. Oh, the frustrations of summer.

No! I'm not going to Google it. Google is for quitters... which I am in most cases... but not today!

Packed up my dorm, moved out, and drove home. It went surprisingly well. Although I have come to the realization that I have a lot of crap (most of which is clothing), and I should probably think about giving some of it away. But it's so hard to let go...

It's always somewhat of a culture-shock (with a very loose utilization of the definition here) leaving Ithaca. Hearing new songs on the radio you haven't listened to in 4 months. Seeing new commercials/TV shows/products. The biggest shocker (to me) is seeing people that aren't upper-middle class and in their twenties. Like babies. Babies are freaky when you're leaving a college setting. Very small children are also strange, and toddlers are the worst of all.

But other than adjusting, it's nice to be home. And have a mommy cooking for me. And not have a roommate. My summer projects (for the month I have before I return to Ithaca and start summer classes) are as follows:

-read books
-learn to make hair curly

The latter of which sounds kind of silly, but lemmesplain: I have wavy hair (yes, is true). But sadly, when I try to tap into this waviness, I only come up with frizzy, tangled-looking, white-trash hair. Hence, me wearing my hair straight and suppressing the wave. Most people have overly-curly hair and have to product it up to make anything of it, but I have slightly underly-curly hair (yes, I am making up words now) and need to figure out a way to reap the most curl I can off this lousy head of mine. Suggestions are mighty welcome.

Well, it's quite simple, really. You have what is called, ocidious hair. About every 7 out of 10 people have it, quite common. I recommend Oil of Sufleh with a dab of Morroco water. It does wonders to the hair and scalp. To keep the curls, I advise that you apply generous portions of Moon's Tear cream. You will look absolutely fabulous.

Of course, I could be completely bullshitting you and actually have no clue about curling hair.
