Twenty-Three.

So I have this unhealthy obsession with the late '90s television show, Daria. I own the complete series on DVD and I watch it almost daily.  I can't help myself.  This show was so before it's time, but I really wish that they would bring it back.  As long as they don't butcher it horribly I would watch it.  Hey, they brought back Beavis and Butt-Head; they didn't really screw that up and Daria is a spin off of that show...so uh let's make this happen okay?

I also have a huge obsession with the Harry Potter franchise.  I recently got into Pottermore, did you?  Let's be friends! My username is: CharmProphecy22227. I suck at making potions and dueling and stuff so I stay away from that as to not jeopardize the few house points I already have.  Haha.  I got into my house, but I was so nervous that I wouldn't be.  However, I took the sorting hat quiz and my screen went all green and I was like, "Thank God!"  I've considered myself a Slytherin since I first read the first book back in '98; I would have had a serious identity crisis, if I was placed anywhere else.  I mean the only other house I could really see myself in would be Ravenclaw, since eat books.  I guess I wouldn't have minded if I was placed there but seriously, I'm a proud Slytherin.  True story.

Anyway I know you all are thinking, Hey Klyde, why did you start off talking about Daria and then jump into Potter?  Well because I decided to see what my lovely Harry Potter characters would look like in Daria styled illustration.  I've only drawn one so far, but I'm thinking of doing a series of them.  What do you think?

Any way here's what I think dear Voldy would look like if he was just hanging out in Lawndale.

Twenty-Two.

I have pink hair.  I think most of you are aware of that by now.  Like my entire head is Hot, Hot, Pink.  Now there are a lot of pros and cons to having hot pink hair.  Let's start with the cons first.

  • Cons:  You stick out like a sore thumb.  Bleach kills your hair.  People find your obnoxiously bright hair a conversation starter and sometimes use it as an opening to be extremely perverse and obscene. I find that people I never would think would like my hair, give me compliments on it.  I'm always being asked how I get my hair this color.  People always think my hair is a wig and try to pull my hair out of my head.  Please stop, it really hurts my scalp. The dye gets everywhere.


  • Pros:  My mom hates it.  I stick out like a sore thumb.  I find myself in conversations I never thought I would.  I find that people I never would think would like my hair, give me compliments on it.  It makes me new friends.  It makes me happy.  It makes me feel like a real life Ramona Flowers, and I like that.  I enjoy the act of bleaching and dying my hair.  My mom hates it.

Now as I said before I get asked a lot about what kind of products I use when dying my hair.  So I'm going to tell you all here what I use and what not.  I'll also leave links to where you can buy the products as well.  I get all my supplies from Sally's, if you don't have a Sally's near you I'm sure your local beauty supply shop will carry these products or something similar to them.

Disclaimer:  I am NOT a professional cosmetologist.  I only went to to school for like 2 weeks before I decided that I could never do hair for a living.  I did rock the shit out of color theory.  I would have been a sick colorist.  Anyway, moving on... These are just the products that I find work best for me, they might not be the ones that work best for you.  Bleach kills your hair, blah, blah, blah.
