IT'S SNOWING! Sort of. I think it's actually snowing and melting at the same time. If it's not melting, then it's doing some weird sort of snow condensing magic and disappearing. Somehow I doubt it's sublimating.
Earlier, I went to Walgreen's to buy more hair dye, and inside it was jam-packed with red hearthings and candythings and cardthings, and people were EVERYwhere like it was just before a hurricane and they wanted duct tape, except it was singing balloons and giant stuffed animals with words on their stomachs, and I picked up a romance novel and some chocolate-covered coffee ball things--what could be better than coffee covered in chocolate??--along with my hair dye and two packs of hangers (because you can never have enough hangers), and as I checked out I felt a little sad that no one was buying large boxes of sugar for me, but as I walked out into the night, my feet clad in slippers because my toe doesn't like being in shoes, and my body wrapped up in the giant warm furry coat my dad bought for me, a few snowflakes floated down and landed on my arms, and I felt like perhaps the universe was saying that I just needed to take a moment to be happy with what I have. So I did.
I drove home and it wasn't snowing anymore, but ten minutes after I got into the house I went to close the window I'd left open this morning so the apartment could air out, and I could HEAR the snow beginning to fall. It was a very dry snow, coming down very quickly, and at first I thought it was very small hail. I stuck my head and shoulders out the window and found that it was in fact snow, and marveled at the fact that snow can make a noise. I didn't know snow could make a noise.
I covered up the blue spots in my hair. Hopefully the brown spots I got on my face will come off the rest of the way tomorrow morning.
Also, the lj update screen is pink with hearts. I'm not sure how I feel about that. First they take away my option to customize my update screen, and now they force pink hearts on me? I mean, I'm all about pink and hearts, sure. Sometimes even around Valentine's Day. But pink and hearts against my will? Grrrr.
Time to finish (read: start) my reading for tomorrow, and then get to bed.
