It's April, but I'm no fool.

rogueslayer452++ So, I haven't been having a good time in recent weeks.
For starters, my health kind of backfired on me a little bit, though have since been getting better. Then I just had an awful experience getting a hair cut, or rather hair trim. My regular hairstylist wasn't available at the time but the place I go to does walk-ins so I figured that having someone else just give a trim would be okay. You'd think that just a basic trim wouldn't be too complicated, right? Apparently it was for this person. Although they were friendly, they did a rather shoddy job and, to be honest, something that anyone could've done (which is what pissed me off the most since this is someone who is supposedly professionally trained and schooled, they should've known better), and truthfully the whole interaction just felt a bit off. I didn't say anything at the time as I probably should have, but I'm not a confrontational person in general, and as upset as I was which gradually escalated as time went on, I don't know how I would've reacted.
To top all of that off, my emotional state hasn't been the greatest, because mental health and all, so having those two things happen rather close together really didn't help matters either. Thankfully, things are getting back to an equilibrium. But still, not a happy time for me lately.
++ Tumblr unfortunately hasn't done anything for April Fools, not even bringing back the Boops that they introduced last year (and was later brought back for Halloween) that proved to be immensely popular among the userbase. Not that I expected this to become tradition, even though it should since everyone loved it. I just expected something, especially considering the state of the world right now having a lowkey fun and silly thing would be welcome. Instead, what we got was an unwelcome and unnecessary UI update which, unfortunately, isn't a fun whimsical prank. Truly a hellsite, indeed. :/
++ Speaking of Tumblr, ever since that one list challenge of "the greatest movies of all time" was recently passed around more people have been creating their own to give, in their opinion, a better criteria or at least a more specified list of movies or other media. I've participated in a few of them, it is rather interesting and fun to see what kinds of things people put on their lists. But, just like with those "Have You Seen This...." Tumblr polls, it's all quite subjective and it makes me think about my taste in movies/media, which are eclectic and all over the place. The only one that I got the highest score from (so far) was the millennial list, which provided a surprising amount of nostalgia especially ones that I didn't think others remembered. Really proving that yes, I am a millennial, lol. Regardless, it's just fun and depending on how someone is preparing their list can be great for recommendations.
