Pestilence and Famine couldn’t make it…..

"I’m Nervousness".

There’s an obscure Whose Line /Greg Proops as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse In Scenes From A Hat reference for you! I can’t remember what I’ve done with my car keys or if I bought milk, but I can quote entire Whose Line episodes from 20 years ago. Go me! 

I AM Nervousness today, and I have no idea why. I keep thinking I have SO MUCH TO DO before the Big Trip…. but I really don’t have that much left to do. And what I do have left isn’t anything to freak out over. Figure out what clothes I’m taking. Buy memory cards for the camera. Clean the nasty house. The big stuff is done. I hope. But whatever, I’m nervous and I’ve also got such a massive case of ADDT that I canno….. OOOooOooo, shiny things!!!

That is not helping. Because I think of something I need to do, start to do it, think of something else, get distracted, realize there’s a third thing over there, OMG! and a fourth and look it’s six, seven and nine oooOOOoo, I skipped five and eight because a butterfly flew by!!!

Yeah. Kind of driving myself nuts. And it’s very very quiet at work and I can’t concentrate on what I’m doing (obviously) and happily nothing is all that urgent at the moment. I’m feeling too scatterbrained to focus on trip planning. 

I’ll do some more currents. Because they are perfect for Short Attention Span Theatre. 

Current Out Of Character Action:
I am doing two social things on Monday. Which is actually my birthday, and it’s a little odd I’m doing social things on my birthday that are nothing to do with my birthday… well, one of them is kind of to do with my birthday in a roundabout sense. I got my hair cut yesterday, and my hairstylist, who I’ve been going to for at least 13 years, asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with her on Monday. Which is, oddly, her birthday too, which is why it’s a round-about birthday lunch. She is also working on Monday and decided she was going to the Indian buffet for lunch. And asked did I want to go too. I’ve never been to the Indian buffet- it’s new and is reportedly very good. Indian is quite exotic for this town, and I keep forgetting we actually have an Indian restaurant. We’ve had an excellent Thai place for a couple of years though, so apparently we are officially becoming worldly. 

Anyhow, I like my hairstylist a lot and will enjoy having lunch with her, but I am so totally antisocial that even a casual spur-of-the-moment lunch date makes me feel, ummmmm, all socially anxious. What a weirdo I am. 

The other social happening is that Miss Artsy is coming over after work to sit in my livingroom and have a glass of wine and chat so that my cats will at least hear her voice and hopefully not be as completely freaked out by her coming over to check on them while we’re gone as they would be if they’d never heard her voice. Well, she’s come by a couple of times briefly so they’ve heard her but this will refresh their memories. I’ve already warned her that she will probably never see Eddie, who is even more socially anxious and neurotic than his mommy is. Cayce will probably come out, though.  

Current Amusement:
My hair. Well, the inspiration for my current haircut. This is so nuts that I am hesitant to share. But it’s so funny that I have to. I keep wanting more layers in my hair, so it will do the shaggy messy thing a little better, but for some reason I haven’t really been getting the layers I’d like- probably because I keep taking F pictures that don’t have huge amounts of layers. F likes pictures, and does a great job with any picture you bring her, but if you bring a picture of one thing while having another thing in your head, it’s probably not going to end up like the thing in your head. So I keep not getting the thing in my head. 

I mentioned in an earlier entry that Baker B and I have become addicted to The Mighty Boosh in recent months, and also to Luxury Comedy and just to Noel Fielding in general. Noel Fielding is quite the fashionista. You can probably see where this is going.

YES I took a picture of Noel Fielding to my hairstylist!!!! YES that IS something a 15 year old squeeing gothy fangirl would do. I KNOW, I KNOW. 

To my credit it was not the usual sparkly glittery/gothy Noel Fielding picture I took. Mostly because I don’t have long enough hair. 

No, no, I took one of the very few I’ve seen of him with short hair. And I did not go looking for a picture of Noel Fielding to take with me… no, I remembered having seen this picture and thinking I WANT THAT HAIRCUT. So I found it (amusingly by googling "noel fielding short hair"). And took it with me. 

My hairstylist did not bat an eye at my bringing in a picture of a man. (Baker B said, "She probably thought he was a girl!") And gave me a very layery haircut. 

So I’m very happy with my haircut. Even though it did not make me as pretty as Noel Fielding. Sigh. 

I should probably make it stick out more. And put on some glitter. 

Oh, look, I’ve run out of time! I’m going to have to continue doing partial, two or three at a time Currents — apparently that’s the only way I can manage an entry.
