The Idea of a Makeover

For most of the last year or so, I've been going for the slightly goth (pale skin, dark brown hair), slightly punk (dark t-shirts, angered look on the face), slightly hippie-esque (lack of producing anything worthwhile, long hair) aura. Maybe, it occurred to me, that in order to get my life on a different, more productive track, a change was due.

I've begun working on my first true novella - a science fiction love story involving philosophical debate, all gone horribly, horribly wrong. After two weeks of staring at the screen, I've managed to develop a whopping one chapter! So, loosely due to this lack of movement, I went for a change of looks.

No, the hair is still long, and perhaps the angered look on face will show through in static moments, but I'm feeling more beachy now. With the use of a combination of self-tanning and sunlight, I've achieved a pleasant glow...mix that with the brightening of my hair to almost dirty blonde, I look in the mirror with awe. Is this me? It's not who I've seen for such a long time. I can vaguely see a boyish version I looked at long ago.

Let's see how it all works out, shall we?
