I think girls are pretty.

Girls are pretty when:

they smile at nothing.
you catch them smiling at nothing and are embarrassed.
they pretend to be angry.
they impress me with their smarts.
they play guitar.
they can play any instrument.
they sing quietly to themselves.
they hear a song and bop along.
they forget to put their makeup on.
they're wearing daggy old clothes.
they accept that the photo isn't a particularly flattering one but is going on facebook.
Girls are pretty when they are confident.
they pray in that gentle voice.
they aren't scared of roller coasters.
they secretly kinda do want to go on the roller coaster but pretends they don't want to go on while having every intention of going on the roller coaster.
they can go to McDonalds and not complain about how hard it's going to be to work this off.
they can eat more than me. (Call me weird, but it's true.)
they burp and can laugh it off. (Yes, I'm weird. We realised this in the previous point.)
I see something they've painted and they're not even around.
it's cold and the only skin you can see is their face and hands.
under candlelight.
they laugh at something which isn't funny.

I think girls are pretty.

THE KILLERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Tomorrow I'm seeing the Killers at V Fest. I haven't been this excited since I dunno. I'll get back to you when I think about it. I knew I'd see them one day, but I didn't ever think it would in my peak of obsession with them. I'm so very very excited.

I'm not going in with any expectations, but I know it will be awesome. Even if they play a crap show, the fact that I'll be there and that it's the Killers playing and holy crap I can see Brandon Flowers with my very own eyes will be enough for me to convince myself it will be awesome.

There are a few songs which I know they will definitely play. Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me, When You Were Young, All These Things That I've Done, Human, Spaceman, etc. There's others which would totally make my night if they played. Read My Mind (MUST MUST MUST), Midnight Show, Change Your Mind, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, A Dustland Fairytale. There are others which I have no idea if they'll play it or not, but would be cool. Glamerous Indie Rock and Roll, Bones, Neon Tiger, Sweet Talk, Under the Gun, This River is Wild, All the Pretty Faces, Tidal Wave, Losing Touch. And there are some which I won't be too happy about if they play because there are much better songs, Uncle Johnny, Andy You're a Star, Goodnight Travel Well. Not that I won't be disappointed, just that slot could have been used better. =P

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
exciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddddddddd whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the greatest thing they could ever do is play the entire murder trilogy right after each other. As an encore. I'd die on the spot.

The Pro's and Con's of Having Hair (or, the lack thereof.)

Last night my hair was all shaved off for charity. Two other friends were along side me and altogether we earned over $260. I'm so happy with that result.

But it left me with a predicament, that being I now have no hair. I quite like my hair, or at least I did. It was a real travesty to see it go, so in memory of it I've composed the following list.

The Top 5 Unbest Things about Not Having Hair.

5. People always want to feel my head. Keep your dirty paws offa me, kids! I don't like being touched, especially on my head.
4. I have these two freckles on my forehead which are quite ugly. Luckily my hair has always covered them. Now they're quite prominent and pronounced and confidence-lowering.
3. No longer can I hide behind my fringe. I used to use it as a defensive mechanism, sort of like a turtle retreating into it's shell with the threat of danger. Now I'm just vulnerable.
2. My shadow looks really odd without hair. This is surprisingly infuriating for me, whenever I see my shadow I want to step on it's head because it looks so bad. Unfortunately this is mostly impossible unless it is midday.
1. I look bad with short hair. Oh look at that, the worst thing to do with the haircut is the looks. Shut it. I'm vain and need hair to cover the fact that I'm as ugly as a rat. Now everyone can see and I don't like it.

Maybe I'm just looking at this in the wrong light. Maybe (definitely) I had decided I didn't like me without my hair before it was even gone. Maybe I'm just a whingy annoying so-and-so who can't see the good in any situation if he doesn't want to.

The Top 5 Anti-unbest Things about Not Having Hair.
5. When I rub my head, the hair moves about at the base and is quite stimulating. Much like a massage, very nice.
4. It's quite warm where I live, and not having hair makes a big difference.
3. Man it feels good running. No wind-resistance, no flopping about. I imagine it's the same feeling a dog has when it sticks it's head out of the car window. I wouldn't know, I haven't done it yet, but I can imagine.
2. It's very low-maintenance. Normally it's very oily and needs lots of shampooing and all that jazz. But this is awesome, and it dries in no time! You know how ducks have that coating on their feathers which causes them to not get wet? It's like my hair has that when short.
1. Everyone has seemed completely sincere with their compliments. Whether it's "it looks really good!" or "You suit short hair" or "it doesn't look bad", I can tell they're being truthful about it. Also, not one person has said to me "I prefer it longer". Not one! (Except me.) That's a real self-esteem boost for me.

When it comes down to it, I don't like having such short hair but it does have it's positives. I guess I only have to live with it for a few months before it grows back. I should just grow up and deal with it. :)
