"Are you gonna bark all day little doggie or are you gonna bite?"

A few years ago I discovered the hard way that you can't completely rely on people, even your closest friends. You can only rely on yourself. So I'm taking matters into my own hands and moving forward now.

Some friends have offered me the luxury of being their roomate a few months ago, but I hesitated. My heart has been doing a lot of the talking lately, trying to convince me into doing something stupid. Being so concerned with "logic", I don't think moving to a strange city by myself for someone I've only known for 3 months would be a good idea.

I need to look out for myself and then see how said someone measures up instead of jumping into things and realizing it doesn't work out. Not to say that it wouldn't, just um... throwing caution to the wind. None of this has been discussed, it's just me thinking too much. But my head makes a good point, I should pay attention to it more often.

Anyway, I'm currently making plans to move in with a friend (who I've known since my freshman year) in Philadelphia (where I had lived for awhile before). Some familiarity can be a good thing, and getting away from all that is too familiar is a better thing, but avoiding potential disaster is the key thing. The key thing indeed.

But right now I need a haircut despite everyone's recent compliments. I want to keep it long-ish with shorter layers, but I'm afraid of it being too 80's. Although, Joan Jett is pretty damn cool.

I might even go for some bangs this time, but I am open to suggestions.
