today i decided to dye my hair pink. i thought i'd pick a pastel shade as not to cause a scene or make a statement. i imagined pretty flowers and sunshine. alex came over, we took a walk. got boboa tea and veggie dogs and martinis. on the way home we stopped in a salon for a cosultation. the very flaboyant hairdresser looked at me and my pretty pink swatch of cloth and said:
"nuh uh honey - first of all your hair is already dyed, and we'd have to bleach it twice to get all of that red out, and red barely ever comes out. i'd have to charge you 100 bux for the bleach, and then i have no idea how much of your hair would not break off, so you'd have to cut it."
me: "but i've only dyed it once in the past 5 years."
him: "but it's red. i don't know honey."
i left the salon dismayed. alex told me that she was planning on getting her hair done next week, so she's gonna ask her person and see if they have the same dismal thoughts. ugh. then we were walking and she tripped in crack on the sidewalk and twisted her ankle. bad. back to my apt for ice and elliott smith. oh, you know.
then i sat at the table and almost cried, talked to mike d. he told me that i need to chill out. he gave me a hug and it felt so good. his shirt was so soft and he ran his fingers down my hair till his hand rested on my mid back and i just felt so safe. he told me that everything was going to be ok and i made him promise promise promise.
the fact is that i graduate in couple short months, and tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary from when they locked me up from the last time graduated. don't make it happen again.
things work out, right?
i'm such a brat.
listening to the shins. i like them.
i think i've picked a picture for my yearbook. hula hooped today and for some reason it seemed easier. i was using my yellow and pink hoop. i might use this one a bit more. it's a bit smaller than my orange one. but i got bored of always using the same one.
right now:
K: has pink, green, blue, and gray hoop
A: has blue, green, and black hoop
M: has red and blue hoop
i gotta keep track of who borrows my hoops so i can be sure to collect them at some point in time!
blah..
when all else fails:
just drive...

When I finish working for bosses, and before we go to Europe, I'm dyeing my hair pink! You will find out how it goes and I can impart on you what I learn.
Dye your own hair. I used to bleach mine at least once a month. I also did all the colouring myself. If you can get a mate to help it does make it a bit easier but I think DIY is the way to go.
I've been bleaching & dying my hair for so many years I can't imagine. Recently it grew out and I let it. Grey-- though a nice platinumy shade. But once it got cut and styled again it was so DRAB. So now i'm back to blonde again and feel good. In the sun it bleaches to almost platinum. Jean Harlow (no, not quite that white).
Marilyn M. YES! Red is a difficult tone to get rid of. But you could do it.
You're writing more these days L. That's good. The more you write the better you get (and of course the better you write....)
