Currently Listening Act II: The Meaning of, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading By The Dear Hunter where's her heart?/where's her heart? see related

I'm in Aurora/Denver, Colorado for another two months. I'm working at a residential youth treatment facility for adolescent girls attempting to teach 7 arts & crafts classes a day. Attempting being the key word. I've mastered being blank when someone is screaming in my face that they're going to kill me. I got a dog named Ruby who's a fucking terror. She's a seven month-old Cairn Terrier. She's nuts. In August I'm moving back to KC for a year or so to live with my mom and sister, and, of course, Ruby.

My college announced that after next July it will cease to exist for four years which will make grad school application interesting. I walked in the ceremony which was fabulous and unlike any other graduation ceremony (hairy girls, dancing, drinking in the auditorium during the ceremony, group singalongs, people of ambiguous genders aplenty).

I cut my bangs off when I started work and my hair is officially in the monkey hair stage. I love it. The girls laugh at it every day.

I have a new boyfriend. And he's a fuckin' beast, his growl is so sexy. His name is Tycho, he was named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. We like the same music, but sometimes we fight over what we want to listen to and end up in silence, but it's okay. He loves playing in the snow. And yeah, he's 17, but he's lookin' good for his age. He doesn't care that I got no hair.

Yeah, I got a fuckin' Jeep Wagoneer when my little Geo Metro Polexia Aphrodesia died.

I didn't get new boobs, but I had a blast at Monty Are I when they played the Bottleneck and sometime this year I'm gonna get a custom-made corset support my Boobs of Doom(!). This is my last study term at Antioch and in the summer I think I'm going to Pittsburgh to work at a residential youth treatment facility. After that, possibly graduate school at UMKC to get my masters in social work. And then, just maybe, I'll go to Baltimore.

I think I'm getting new boobs Christmas.

Cigna's covering surgery, I found a doctor that will perform the surgery by Christmas (so I'll have 2 weeks to recuperate before school stars), and I need to be back in Kansas City by Friday, so I'm leaving Innisfree Wednesday morning. I talked to the Volunteer Coordinator, explained the circumstances and she's given me the go-ahead. Tonight and all-day tomorrow I pack. Wednesday I leave, I may do the 15 hour drive all the way through.

I may even get to see Monty Are I at some point through this chaos.

Man, I haven't been a D since 6th grade. I so want a lacey red bra once the swelling is gone. By the time I was old enough to want one they didn't make them in my size.

 I make stupid faces early in the morning.

How it looked when it tried to be purple.

Windswept!

Now it's red.
