There was a football game at my high school tonight, and beforehand my family went out to a pizza place for dinner. There was a table with a man & woman and their 20-something year old son near the hostess both, and while we were waiting to be seated the man suddenly turned to me and said I had really beautiful hair. His wife agreed enthusiastically, and asked her son if he didn't think I had nice hair. He just kinda smiled and nodded (I don't think he cared that much), but the other two were impressed, especially the man. I would've been a little creeped out, except that I never get compliments on my hair (on updos occassionaly, but never on my hair in and of itself), so it felt good. I was also glad my stepmom got to see that yes, some people really do like my hair. I think that was the best part of my night.

Oh, and we won the football game. 

Dorm life!  I had a lot of fun living in the dorm.  Life long frienships can be made there.

Do you have any idea what you would want to major in at college?

Writing is a great objective.  My father had his degree in journalism, and my mother was a freelance writer.

Hey - it's YOUR journal - you can use it as you like - *I'M the interloper by posting!  But seriously, growing up with two writers, I was always encouraged to read books.  ANYTHING I wrote for school was checked by one of them.  I have a wonderful sense of good english, but can't tell you any of the rules for why! 

My sister lost her make-up at school yesterday, so I took her to Target this afternoon to get some more. While she was finding what she needed, I somehow found myself in the hair-care aisle.  Target has a great product selection, and I ended up buying two conditioners: VO5 Nourishing Oasis Honey & Almond, and Tresemme Vitamin B12 & Gelatin Anti-Breakage conditioner. I'm such a product junkie. 

But more happily, I actually had an intelligent conversation (if obsessing over conditioners counts as intelligent) about hair-care with my sister. She'd bought some John Frieda Brilliant Brunette a while ago mentioned how her friends actually thought her hair looked lighter. I told her how I'd heard the product didn't do much to darken hair, just enhance color (she's got lighter highlights), and then I told her how coffee is a good hair darkener. She seemed interested.  But really, I was just happy that she was actually listening to and respecting my ideas.

So that was my hair excitement for today. I hereby ban myself from buying any more hair products for the rest of the year! 

I went to J.C. Penny's last night, and within the span of 20 minutes spotted three women browsing around the women's section with past-waist-length hair.  One woman was Indian, one was Mexican, and one was Caucasian with lovely blonde hair. I've never seen so many long-haired ladies in such close proximity at one time. I felt quite at home. 


I think school stress is finally starting to get to me - I found my first white hair today while sitting in the parking lot at school. I plucked it out and examined it for a while, marvelling at its length and paleness. It seemed coarser than the rest of my hair. Interesting...I've been trying to imagine myself with long white hair, and just can't see it...I guess because I can't picture myself being old. Urgh, that's creepy...

Thanks cupcake.  And I'm really not worried about it; I'm only 17, after all, and I have a couple friends who were plucking out white hairs in junior high.

I'm jealous    I want snow!
