My Pixie Life

I don't like to post photos of myself but my friend Helena wanted me to blog about this so she could see my hair, so this is for you babycakes!

I cut my hair real short a few weeks back. Pretty much all my life I've had long hair, I was born with lots of hair grew it out to my bottom but when I came to Australia I chopped it off to my shoulders (I was about 5). I think it grew out a bit then when I was 6 I thought my sister's friend was so pretty and she had hair bluntly cut to her chin. So I had my mom cut it the same way and lol it looked it really bad on me because my hair would fluff out to the shape of a triangle. From there I just grew it out and it was always roughly between my shoulders and half way down my back. I don't think I ever grew it down my bum again. About 4 years ago I cut it pretty short so it was in a bob kind of style but I hated it and grew it out. Lately I've had hair sitting above my shoulders and then grew it a bit past my shoulders. And then I decided to do what I've always wanted to do - get a Mia Farrow pixie cut.

I was always too chicken to go this short because I thought it would make me look like a boy since I don't have any overly girly features. But I really like...except it's a pain to style. So when I'm at home and don't need to go anywhere, I don't style it and it looks so funny! Right now the front is sticking up and there's a little piece that is hanging across my forehead...but no photos, no need to embarrass myself :)

The photos were edited with a little program called Poladroid. It's so awesome. I love polaroids and the program can change the way you want the photo to be processed. The first photo I left it on default and the second one I had it processed with a paper finish so that's why there are fingermarks on it. Go download it and have fun, it's free!

My dear neglected blog

Wow, I've been absent for several months now and I am sorry to any readers who were following this blog! You've probably given up on me and stopped reading. I do hope to change that and will try harder to update at least once a week.

So why haven't I been writing? Laziness! Mostly that but also I haven't felt like it and didn't have much to report. Again I apologise!

To bring you up to speed here is what I have been doing (in no particular order):
- watching lots of movies and TV shows and realising how much I love them
- doing my Honours this year and am in the 3rd week of uni so far
- got a couple of illustration jobs
- had my graduation ceremony for my Bachelor in Art (Design)

Not a lot of drawing has been going on sadly. I think I burned myself out a little last year. I have something to reveal soon, I'm just waiting for the print outs to come and then I'll show you all, very exciting stuff! Also once I start doing development work for my final project for uni (I'm writing and illustrating a children's picture book) I'll show bits and pieces of that too.

Also I haven't been reading all my bookmarked blogs! I think I have over a 1000 posts to read, eek! Will get to it some day, I think I read too many.

I'll try not to forget you, my poor little blog!
