Yesterday was my birthday. I had gotten my hair done the day prior, but I didn't really do much on the actual day, just got boba and did school work. Here's a picture of my new hair (it looks a lot brighter in better lighting, lol). Can you tell I'm REALLY into the black/yellow color scheme? Anyway, I've never really celebrated my birthday. I've just never really had the funds or the social circle to have a proper party. 

    The last time I threw anything even remotely like a birthday party was my 10th birthday. We lived in Florida at the time, and the "party" consisted of me, my parents, and two friends from school. We walked around downtown St. Augustine and went on one of those weird historical tour things where all the tour guides are in character and stuff. We also ate at this really good taco shop called A1A Burrito Works, I miss that place. It sucks that they only exist in Florida.  

     Also, about the book I mentioned last week. I won't go into too much detail so I don't ruin it. It's a speculative fiction book written as if it were anthropological research. It starts out with humanity colonizing Mars and eventually expanding further into the galaxy. Then, this alien race called the Qu sweeps through the galaxy and genetically modifies the human race in a bunch of sick ways, and we spend the rest of the book following the evolution of these different "post-human" species. There's a lot of information, but it's broken up into really nice simple sections. I highly recommend it.

    Still no update on the pants, unfortunately. If all goes well I should be starting on the tab sequins at some point today. I always feel a bit guilty when I don't have progress to show, but I know deep down that the wait will be worth it. Bye for now!
