Thirty-One.


I forgot to post this awhile ago.  This has been sitting on my desk finished for a while; well, I was debating on adding more to it but the more I let it sit the more I considered it fine the way it was.  So I finally got around to uploading it to my deviantART and I thought I would share it here as well.

With that I also thought I'd share with you the song I haven't been able to get out of my head for the past two weeks since it was released.  I am obsessed with Marina and the Diamonds.  I mean just listen to her, and try to tell me that you do not love her too. Oh, Marina. <3



Onto another topic I signed into my myspace for the first time in like years.  Does anyone remember that shit?  God I kind of hate myself for saying this but I miss myspace.  It was and still is so much better than Facebook.  I held out over there for as long as I could until I eventually broke down and got my Facebook but I think we should start a movement where everyone moves back to the space.  I think that would be pretty fucking rad.  It was just so much more customizable and fun and I feel like my profile over there even though I haven't updated it in years really gives the feel for who I am more than stupid Facebook and it's cover picture feature, lame.  Anyway I was looking at some old ass pictures I had up there and I thought I would share a few.  I was so adorable back then; what the fuck happened? And look at how big I used to wear my hair.  I have to say I do miss that though.  This picture is circa June '08 so I was like, 19, or limbo age as I like to call it.

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.
