Finally getting around to this...though I may change a few of them or do them out of order. And let's be honest, I'm probably not going to be very faithful to the "every day" thing. Whatever. I'll officially start tomorrow.

Have not died yet...
Ugh. I haven't posted in a bit, so I just thought I'd leave an update. Nothing is going on in my life except that I've been sickly and tired. And I work more than I want to. On Fridays I get piss-faced drunk. I feel like I've become a cliche. It's...interesting in that it's not. I think I'll start one of those 30 day challenge things next month if I'm feeling really optimistic...if not, I'll save it for the new year. Because procrastination is what I'm all about every year, but January is when I can pretend that will change.
My throat hurts. I'm going to watch the 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who, Day of the Doctor, now. So psyched! Then I will curl into a ball and die.

What's In My Bag?
The contents of my purse, because I decided to clean it out today...even I was a little taken aback by the random crap in there. This is no Us Weekly list.
1 pack fruit snacks, half pack peanut m&m's
3 lip balms
4 lighters
1 novelty syringe
1 can opener
2 packs Red 72's
Half pack Orbit Sweet Mint
Napkin with a phone number written in blue ink
Grocery list
3 Werther's candies, 1 soggy mint
2 poems
6 unnecessary receipts
1 black pen
1 purple eyeliner pencil
2 Ibuprofin
1 Small lotion
1 Tampon
1 Body Spray
Piece of paper listing the 50 States
McGuyver could make a bomb with my purse.

Non-Gamer Gaming Problems
I don't really like very many video games (okay, mostly I'm just not good at them) so it's very upsetting to me when something interesting comes into existence...but it's not playable on my console (Xbox 360).
For example, Beyond: Two Souls for the PS3
This sounds interesting and playable and voiced by Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. Why is it only available for PS3??? This is some bullshit right here.
This article told me there is a thing called Fable Legends coming out that sounded pretty damn awesome...until I found out it was going to be an Xbox One game.
And, fuck my life because Lionhead is not even developing a Fable IV yet (or maybe ever). And everyone knows Fable and Lego games are the only things I can play, because I have the gaming skills of a 5 year old.
The only bright spot on my gaming horizon is LEGO Marvel Super Heroes!
Although it is still super fucking weird to me that they talk.

Cover Lover Mix
I was raised by a man who despised covers. So, I was a little biased myself, until I came to the conclusion that not all covers are bad. The artists who do them are paying tribute to a song they like by trying to make it their own. They aren't stealing them out of laziness or spite. Well, probably not most of them. Anyway, these are some of my favorite covers.
1. Hurt - Johnny Cash (much grittier. always gives me chills at the end)
2. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (his acoustic version makes it much sadder sounding than the original)
3. Imagine - A Perfect Circle (they made this hopeful little song sound...a little bleak, but in a good way?)
4. Jolene - The White Stripes (nothing special, but I just like it)
5. Naive - Lily Allen (I just love me some Lily...)
6. Starstrukk - Marina & the Diamonds (turns it into a somber, beautiful ballad?)
7. Down with the Sickness - Richard Cheese (from Dawn of the Dead fame...just a little priceless)
8. Black Hole Sun - Paul Anka (the whole Rock Swings album is totes fab)
9. Hot In Herre - Jenny Owen Youngs (basically one of my favorite things of ever)
10. Beat It - Fall Out Boy (love)
11. Another Brick In The Wall - Korn (better than you expect it to be)
12. Working Class Hero - Ozzy (also notable are the Marylin Manson and Cyndi Lauper covers)
13. I Put A Spell On You - She & Him (crazy good)
14. Human Hands - Sondre Lerche (it's just so much easier to understand what Sondre is saying than Costello. also more...whimsical?)
15. My Hero - Paramore (d'awww)
16. Smooth Criminal - 2cellos (instrumental!)
17. Paranoid Android - Weezer (just love Weezer. but they also did a good job on this one)
18. You Really Got a Hold On Me - She & Him (pretty gorgeous. can't get enough)
19. Creep - Amanda Palmer (ukulele!)
20. Just Like A Woman - Jeff Buckley (powerful)
and this is pretty fun...if you love Amanda Fucking Palmer...

Costume Hunting (2013 Edition)
Last Halloween was an epic fail by way of ideas. I scrapped together a Ms. Marvel-esque bunch of bullshit and called it enough. This time I plan on awesomeness. Okay, possibly only awesome to me, but fuck you, who cares what you think! Sorry, got a little over-excited again. Anyway, here are some of my ideas for this year's costume.
1. Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction)
2. Death (Sandman)
3. Coraline
4. Hit Girl (Kick Ass)
I am most seriously considering Rogue because my hair is already like hers (for the most part) but that costume is hella fugly. So...I don't know. I only have 20 odd days to get my shit together though, so at least this will give me a start.

Blondie
My experiment with being blonde yielded some interesting results. There were a lot of things being brunette didn't quite prepare me for in the life of blondness. Here are a few notes from my journey as a bleach blonde. I wrote this some time ago when I was still mostly blonde, and don't feel like changing the tenses because I'm a lazy fuck, so enjoy as is!
1. Being of mixed heritage, I normally get questioned "What are you" quite frequently. With blonde hair, I have not been asked that once. Whether I just don't look as ethnic, or whatever, I just don't know. I do know that no random strangers have asked me what I am since dying my hair this light of a hue.
2. People assume blondes are dumb. This is a thing that should be pretty obvious, given all the dumb blonde jokes floating around out there, but really think about it for a minute. Have you thought about it? Don't lie to me, you didn't think about shit, did you? Shut up. Anyway, my point is that I find myself doing the same thing all the time. Not necessarily on purpose, I see a blonde girl and almost automatically think she must be dumb. I use smaller words and over-explain. Well played fate, because this naturally brunette girl has been on the other end of the judgement stick. I find myself constantly having to prove (to strangers) that I am not an idiot, which as a brunette was never a problem. I looked like a nerd, so I must have been smart. Now I apparently look like a dumb blonde.
3. Guys think I am a slut. Okay, I guess this only counts when I'm dressed somewhat nicely, but still. I have been hit on and asked out more as a blonde than as any other hair color. This may or may not be because they think I am a dumb slut. Of course it could just be because I look like less of an introverted bitch. Trick's on you Men at Bars! I'm still an introverted bitch, with all the problems that develop from being an insecure brunette!
4. Blondes get away with more things. For whatever reason(see 2 and 3) people are more inclined to be tolerant of me. People are chattier. Also it appears to have classed me up a bit. Old people seem to not notice my piercings and tattoos as much, which is weird. The brightness of my hair must blind them.
5. Smart girls are wary of blondes. Slutty girls flock to me now. I am a golden lion's mane of fake slutty roar. Drunk bitches also love me now. Okay, drunk bitches have always loved me. Whatever.
6. I think maybe the hair has made me more confident. I feel prettier. I walk more boldly. I preen a little bit. I wear too much bronzer. My old man wardrobe doesn't feel right, the colors clash or something. So I wear semi-mainstream styles. Black (always awesome) looks even better with blonde hair.
7. It's harder to go unnoticed. I think the biggest advantage a short brunette has is the natural sneakiness. I blend with the shadows. I am a ninja. But everyone notices when a blonde enters the room. My hair sucks in all the surrounding light and uses it to glow even brighter. Sometimes I miss being a shadow.
To summarize, it's been fun, but my hair grows like a motherfucker and it's tiring bleaching my hair that much. Think I'll lay off it for a while. Maybe at some point in the future I'll bore everyone to tears with more posts about my hair and the rad colors I dyed it after the blonde. We shall see.
