Birthdays
I'm 23 now. Kevin asked me if I think I've changed much since I was In high school and I don't think I have at all. I think I've grown and learned but for the most part I'm still Jen. I think the 18 year old me, and the 23 year old me would get along just fine.

Dread Update
The dreads are looking good! I tried to clean them up a little bit tonight because I've sorta been slacking on the maintenance. I've learned a few things from people around town who also have dreads. Its funny how many new friends you meet just because of them. It makes conversation starting way easier.
I stopped using wax in my dreads. WAX=BAD. I learned that pretty quick. The wax totally prevented them from dreading in the first month. It made them look like "dreads" but really just attracted all the dust and hold in water. :( no bueno. I've been reading about what I could possibly use as an alternative to keep the frizzes down and to keep them soft and moisturized. I was suggested by a guy at whole foods to try coconut oil. Seems to be working out quite nicely and also makes my hair smell nice. I also sometimes spray lavender extract mixed with water on them for a quick freshener. Im all about aromatherapy!
Anyhoo... heres a pretty recent picture of my dread babies. They're still pretty short but getting longer ! :D
Also, Jason, the fellow who was nice enough to answer all my annoying nubie-dread questions at whole foods also works at a raw food restaurant in Redondo. I have yet to try it but would really love to. All natural on the head might as well be all natural in the body, right?

The menu looks pretty yummy. Who wants to go with me!!?

Sun Drunk
It was such a beautiful day! I spent the better part of it with chieks being a creeper/breakdancer/poplocker/semi retard. The other part was spent looking at the moon through a telescope. What an amazing thing to be able to see outside the realms of everyday. I wish the moon looked like what it did in the french black and white film "Le voyage dans la lune" (trip to the moon). That would've been a pleasant surprise and also extremely hilarious.
