Long Time No See!
So sorry for the gap in blogs, I've been working and summer-ing. Yeah, I just made a word up. So here's what I've been up to:
1. I got a haircut! I had been looking like a yeti for quite a while, not cute. So I booked an appointment with the best hairstylist in the world, Katy Magagnotti from Hair Sculptors, and she worked her magic. While the hair is a little short for my taste, it's no longer unmanageable and it's no longer turning into dreads while I sleep. This picture isn't great but you can see I have beautiful layers.
I'll need to get it colored again in August. What do you think about me going red again? Ha ha evil laugh.
2. I am working at PacSun now! I absolutely love it. It's a great atmosphere and I obviously love being surrounded by clothes! I've already picked out a few things for school, including a new schoolbag, a gorgeous large tan bag with quilting details and big handles. Very exciting!
3. I went to the Chicago Gay Pride Parade. I thought I'd use this time to express my opinion. I saw a sign at the parade that said "Straight But Not Narrow." That was so touching to me. I was raised to be a Christian, yes, but my parents taught me to love everyone equally. There was never a time when I thought homosexuality was wrong or that it made you less of a person. I believe that the gay community deserves all the same rights as the straight community. Another sign said "We hold these truths to be really freaking obvious." It should be obvious to everyone that gay people aren't any different than straight people, and that they are not to be excluded from the same civil rights as anyone else. I am including a link for PFLAG, an organization that supports parents and friends of lesbians and gays.

Now I'm going to do something fun, a 25 question tag that has been floating around YouTube and Blogspot. Anyone else with a blog is welcome to do it, consider yourself tagged.
1. Do you have any pets? I have a dog named Oliver and a cat named Layla. Oliver is a yorkshire terrier. He's a tiny little guy. He was supposed to be bigger, but he's 8 and has never gotten above 5 pounds. He's one of the loves of my life. Layla is technically my brother's cat, but I love her as my own. She is, without a doubt, the fattest cat I have ever seen. She's also incredibly loving and sweet.

Oliver and Layla2. Name three things that are physically close to you right now. My cellphone, the TV remote (I switched to Gilmore Girls at 4, not that I watch that show every single day and have seen every episode more than twice), and the new Rolling Stone with Gaga on the cover.
3. What's the weather like right now? Hot and gorgeous, with a nice breeze! Wish I was at the beach!
4. Do you drive? If so, have you crashed? Yes and yes. I'll spare you all my car accident details but the worst is this: I got side swiped by a semi in DRIVER'S ED.
5. What time did you wake up this morning? Mmm, ten thirty? Sometime around there.
6. When was the last time you showered? At one o'clock today.
7. What was the last movie you saw? In the theater, I saw... wow, I cannot remember. The thing that springs to mind is A Nightmare on Elm Street. On Monday I watched Inglourious Basterds (again) and Anchorman (again) at Neal's apartment.
8. What does your last text message say? Let's see, it's from Neal and it says "Yikes." I'll let you wonder about that.
9. What's your ringtone? Oh, I love this, I made my own. It's Maggie May, the Rod Stewart song, but I made it so when the phone rings it says, "Wake up Maggie I think I got somethin' to say to you." I'm such a dork.10. Have you ever been to a different country? I have been to Puerto Rico and some Bahamian islands.
11. Do you like sushi? I LOVE sushi. One of my favorite foods is raw tuna. I'm a little obsessed. The thought of a spicy scallop roll makes my mouth water.
12. Where do you buy your groceries? WiseWay, of course.
13. Have you ever taken medication to make you fall asleep faster? Hahahaha yes. I have chronic insomnia and I have taken just about everything. Right now I'm on Lunesta, it works great.
14. How many siblings do you have? I have one sibling, my older brother Adam Karabel, or as I call him, Bubby.
15. Do you have a desktop computer or laptop? MacBook FTW!
16. How old will you be turning on your next birthday? My birthday is next week, July 5th, and I'll be 22.
17. Do you wear contacts or glasses? I've worn contacts every day since I was 13.
18. Do you color your hair? OH YEAH. I am a natural blond. I look TERRIBLE as a blond. In fact, finding a picture of me with blond hair is quite difficult because I've been dying it brown since I was 13. I just prefer it. I've had red hair also, which I loved, but I got a little tired of it and went back to brown.
19. Tell me something you are planning to do today. Well, this isn't really a happy thing but I'm going to a wake tonight.
20. When was the last time you cried? I cried Sunday while I was rereading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Not kidding.
21. What is your perfect pizza topping? At California Pizza Kitchen, they have a roasted red pepper, feta cheese and bacon pizza. Best thing ever.
22. Which do you prefer-hamburgers or cheeseburgers? I don't like either. I'll only eat plain hamburgers from McDonald's which barely even count. I prefer hot dogs, but not grilled, just boiled. I'm difficult.
23. Have you ever had an all-nighter? Not on purpose. Only because of insomnia.
24. What is your eye color? Dark brown.
25. Can you taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke? I sure can, and I like Coke. I can also tell the difference between Diet and regular Coke because I only drink Diet.
Have fun doing the tag! Au revoir!
