Apr. 2nd, 2003 11:55 pmToday is Boomtime, day 19 in the season of Discord, 3269.
I always thought I'd be more distressed about finding gray hair. Today at work I happened to notice that I've got several now and I had a brief flash of "time to start dying my hair again". Then I noticed that under the light it looked a little bit like I'd woven strands of shiny silver tinsel into my hair. I like it. My hair is almost waist-length again too. I should get it trimmed a bit and see if I can resist the urge to go in and ask for a chin-length bob as I do nearly ever summer. I remember when I still thought that being 32 would be awful, as I'd be so oooooolllld. Now that I'm here, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to 16 or 18 or 22. I sometimes still have an image of myself in my head as being 19, but I have no desire to actually be 19 again. I have to confess that I occasionally give in to contemplating the fact that if I base things solely on my immediate family history, I'm probably more than halfway through my life already...but you know what? I think that's okay. It just makes me appreciate the "now" more than I did when I was a lot younger.
( Getting a little long...depression, books, summer things I'm looking forward to )
