Post Office.

Well I'm here in Home Sweet Alamo and I am so glad because that means:
1. That this horrifyingly dramatic semester is OVER (Erik moving to Germany, his mom trying to split us up, finding out he's getting deployed, someone else trying to get between Erik and I, and deciding to stay a Theatre major all combined qualify as"horrifyingly dramatic").
2. I get to relive some glory days from high school (some, not all. I would need Miranda Scruggs and Andrew Luna for that). Campfires, games, half-price apps. It's my cup of Jo, if I do say so myself.

Yesterday I went to the post office to send Erik a package and while I was taping the box, an old lady walked past me to leave the store. She turned towards me and said,
"Doesn't that tape sound like someone's throat being cut?"

I didn't know what to do! What do you say to that?!


I just kinda stared at her while she continued in making a sawing motion with her hand back and forth across her throat. 
"Doesn't it? Listen!" she said, to which I replied, "I hope not!" She then smiled and walked off.

Agh. Creepy. My mom told me I should have asked her about her husband. I don't think I would want to know.

Along with creepy ladies at the post office, I dyed my hair gray yesterday. Fun experiment, but it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. So I had another shin-dig with ColorOops hair color remover and called it a day. I'm going to try to leave my hair alone for a little while (fingers crossed).

I might have received some good news from Erik today but I don't want to get my hopes up or risk jinxing it by spilling the beans. Sure enough I'll definitely be writing about it if all goes well!

Another cool thing about today, my German (well now, American) neighbor became a naturalized citizen today! How cool is that?! He's the first person I've heard in a long time to sing, "I'm proud to be an American..." Very refreshing.

I'll leave it short and sweet tonight. Just like my hair as of 2 weeks ago.
