Hello SGland! I have some new things in my life I'd like to share with you!
My brother was visiting in Colorado for the past three weeks. I don't think I've ever drank so much alcohol in such short time. The boy can drink, a lot! Trying to keep up with him isn't the best idea. His leave time ended yesterday so we drove back down to Arizona together.
We left around 3am and made it into Tucson around 5pm. I had to work Wednesday night so I slept for the first part while he drove then we traded off so he could get some sleep. Poor guy had to work at midnight last night until 7am this morning. That's a loooooong couple of days. The drive wasn't too bad. It seemed to go by pretty quickly.
I did get a stupid speeding ticket for going, ready for this...EIGHT over. Ain't that some shit. The cop was going on the opposite way on the highway and went out of his way to turn around and pull me over for EIGHT over. Ugh. It's in New Mexico, which I've only ever been to TWICE in my life so I'm probably not going to pay it. I love routing the trip on my phone and trying to beat the time it states.

Semi-trucks and desert for hours.
I wish I took more pictures on the road but I was feeling pretty lazy.

I finally changed my hair color last week. I maintained the blonde and purple for almost two months and needed something new. I kept it pretty simple and went back to a dark brown, close to my natural color, left some blonde and added in some purple and blue. A few of my co-workers didn't even notice and tried to argue that I change my hair color every "ten" minutes and they can never keep up. That's ridiculous.
I don't have any good pictures of it yet. I'm hoping the blue will fade into the blonde a little more.

Dirty mirror image.

I ripped one of my contacts from my last pair on the drive down yesterday. I'm pretty bummed about it. My prescription expired last week. I have an eye exam appointment on Monday when I get back in Colorado but I'm stuck wearing my glasses until then. I really hate wearing them. I am nearly legally blind and my glasses are super thick and nerdy. Hate. I was going to make an appointment here in Tucson to renew my prescription but they would have to special order my contacts since my vision is so terrible which would take too long. Sad day.

hmph.

I've been hanging out with a boy who makes me very happy. It's kind of a funny story...
We use to work together back in 2005, my first job ever! When I was 16 I worked at Hot Topic for a few months as a seasonal employee. We worked a few shifts together but had never talked very much.
A few weeks ago I was at a bar in Denver with my brother and some co-workers. I was hanging out talking to a friend and saw this boy walk by. Being the creep that I am, I instantly remembered him and had to say something. Kinda hit it off from there...I don't think he actually remembers me though he argues he does but honestly I hope he doesn't. Who wants to remember awkward teen years?!
We've been spending a lot of time together, it's probably unhealthy. I really enjoy it. i was going to post some cute pictures we took but I don't wanna be too creepy, yet!

I think that is enough boring rambling for this blog, time to go lay next to the pool.
