Long Long Long

My nails are beginning to get long. In my case, "long" means that more than just a sliver of white is showing beyond the nail bed. It's strange because when I was younger, I always had loved growing my nails as long as I could. But, when I started playing guitar they became really annoying so I have always kept them short since.

I still think long nails are really pretty, the feeling just bothers me. But I haven't been able to bring myself to cut them. It used to be kind of a ritualistic thing. When my nails got too long, I would clip them before playing guitar. But now I have no guitar to play.

I've been keeping my eye on craigslist, and I even saw a used backpack guitar for sale at the local Guitar Center, but I just can't justify spending the money. My financial priorities are rent, food, and school-related expenses. I'm a foodie and I won't eat ramen just to save some money. So, buying a guitar would not only be financially unwise, but I should be spending more time on homework, not less.

So, for now, my nails can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing they will escape the clippers for yet another day.
