Ginger-To-Be?

If you don’t already know, I love people with red hair, more commonly referred to as Gingers.
Here are some famous gingers!!







Love it.

So if you recall, a few posts ago I posted how I am really impulsive right now. I –should- listen to that, and not do anything. But I’m not the listening type and I’m thinking of dyeing my hair red.
Gonna ginger-fy meself!

Now I know it wouldn’t be the natural ginger look, I don’t know if anyone’s perfected that dye yet…If they do, I’m going to get some!
BUT red hair. It’d be different to my black hair.
I find this funny because I love black hair and I considered keeping it black for probably 5 years before changing it. Or 20!
But for now (week or so?) I’m going to give (nearly) ginger a try.
If it doesn’t look natural (which it wont) it could end up looking similar to this…which I’m fine with :)

One thing though, that always stands in the way: my mom.
I know I’m over 18 so I don’t have to ask for permission and I really shouldn’t ask. Grace Hopper, once said “It’s easier to ask for permission than it is to get permission” and I really ought to start following that. However, being that my mom could kick me out, I think it might be better to remain in her good graces for now.
So I told my mom I was thinking of dying my hair red.
She nodded and said ‘Ok’.
This struck me so oddly, an hour later I just had to know why she was ok with it. Was she going to kick me out? Was she finally just becoming ok with the idea of me changing my appearance? Was she drunk!?
“Your hair is dyed pitch black. How would red be so different?”
I didn’t get it.
“I think your hair will just turn a funny color and I think you wont like it.” Was her reason.

She thinks it’ll fail, I’ll hate it, and so she wants to watch.
My excitement deflated a little.

I still am planning on doing it, even if it fails and turns into a waste of money.
  1. It’ll still be an experience
  2. I’ve always wanted to try it!
  3. It may end up me just going platinum blonde?
  4. I can always dye it back to black.

Besides, if it goes to a funny color, I most likely will just rock it for a few weeks. Why not?
When I got my industrial piercings, the piercer didn’t put them in the right place. I wanted:

but got

Did I correct him? No. I said ‘whatev!’ and kept it. And I love them :)

Anyways I’ve found some things to occupy my time. I get bored very easily and I get cabin fever, too :(
  1. Make bows! (I’ll blog more about those later)
  2. Writing
  3. Cleaning (lame: yes; fun: no: but it takes up time)
  4. Drawing
  5. Baking 
I baked a cake cause it’s my one year anniversary of being a Vegetarian!!! WOOOO!
I wanted to have some friends over and have a vegetarian meal, maybe pasta and tofu, cake, Fish Food ice cream…but didn’t work out. So I’m devouring this cake by myself. If I was going to get to have friends over, though, I would have spent a lot more time on this cake, just saying. Would have looked like this!


Ok enough bloggin for one day, off to do something. Write, clean, cook, sew, create a life map, stare at the walls, feed my cat cheese, do the Macarena…my options are endless!

I’m out.

Well here’s a music video WITH lyrics so you don’t end up like me:

Enjoy getting THIS song stuck in your head
