I love the Christmas SuperPoke actions! Was a good boy and stayed for the whole lesson tonight. Got my reward in the form of a delicious mango passion frappucino, one of the better ones I've tasted in ages. Why is my hair taking so long to grow out? I think it won't be long enough by Friday to justify a dye job, but I don't care. After all, I'm going to buy the dye with my own money. This is the cavalier attitude that infuriates my parents, but to me, it's quite matter-of-fact. I pay, I decide. The logical counter to that is that I shouldn't be wasting the money in the first place, but we already know that tack doesn't go down well with me. Have been reading Borges's poetry again and feeling intellectual. I kind of like his prose better though. I have this adorable picture of me in 1993, sitting on the sofa and reading a book. It feels like looking at someone else, which I suppose it is. Growing up, I believe, is a process of becoming. Of becoming other. Two more days! I already know it'll be just like any other day really, significance leaching from it in hindsight as other milestones come and go. Even so, to quote a cheesy Disney song, it's the start of something new, except there's no one here for me to feel so right with. That was lame. Haha...
