On to page seven!  My volleyball number.

I go to school in two days.  I was there yesterday and the day before.  I went to visit my boyfriend who is a Residential Advisor down there.  He was happy to see me.  I introduced him to Korean food and bubble tea.  (Bubble tea is tea with tapioca ((boba)) balls in it.  It's very good.)  My bangs are frizzy.  I'm pulling them back with a big rubber band headband like thingy.  I'm not used to having it there, so it feels kinda funny sometimes.

My roots are at an inch and a half.  I don't even care if the color looks off.  My hair that was died feels like its coarse/medium, but my growth is medium in texture.  The frizz is definately color-damage related.  I'm also saying "To hell with layers!"  I can't braid my hair right now.  It's so darn annoying.

Boyfriend's hair:  He got it razored to a 1 in the back.  The back of his head feels as soft as a bunny rabbit.  I told him that I want my head shaved too, but he didn't think that would be a good idea.  I really would like to get ALL of the colored hair off my head!

But I don't have the guts to do that.

Juri:  Thanks so much!    Bubble Tea is alive and kickin' in Illinois.

I'm packing for school.  I brought all of my shampoos, conditioners, oils, butters, scrub, and a giant amount of styling product.  I have a (small) duffle bag full of stuff.  A few things I left out are: the curling iron, the straigtening iron, the blowdryer, and the rollers.  I might bring the iron for my bangs.  It is horrible when they stick straight up.

Lenore:  Her face is almost finished.  Here's a link (I hope I don't mess this one up!)

I'll just directly link it.  It probably won't get done (just like everything else I do.)

Hair:  Second day of not washing.  Looks good, feels good.  I bobby pinned my bangs back.  That will show them!

I got some rollerblades today.  K2 Kinetic 10.0's.  They really fly!  I was going around the sports store with them.  I nearly ran into a cute little girl while I was zipping around the store.  I'm 5'10'' (without blades on) and she was like 3'.  I didn't see her!  I also got some athletic clothes with my mommy.  I was shocked that she took me shopping.  Sometimes we don't see eye-to-eye *cough hair cough* but she was very cool today.

That's pretty much it.  Another year of school.  I know I'm forgetting something, though...

Thank you, BB!

I'm here at school.  Oh man, school is TOO much fun. 

We're having a "Freshman Welcoming Party" at UIUC's rec room for Dance Dance Revolution and Pump It Up.  It is going to be great.

My Hair:  The frizz, frizz, frizz.  It's everywhere.  I want to trim again.  But I think I'm going to wait another month.  My roots are so shiny.  They look really good and healthy.  I want to continue growth, but at the same time, I want to start cutting the damage out at a better rate.  When in doubt, wait!

School starts Wednesday.  It will be fun, I hope.

Ooo, first week at college!  Have a great time at the welcoming party!

Yikes - my best to your sister.

And no matter how much you party - don't decide to shave your head on a hangover.

Enjoy...g

The first week of college is always so exciting. I (kinda) miss it. Your classes sound fun! I hope you can enjoy the Greek civ. class, boring teacher or not.

I think a gentle cleaner is sodium lauryl sulfoacetate. I looked it up after you asked about it in my journal and wrote a little about it. Ammonium lauryl sulfate is not a gentle cleanser. There was some in the Aveda hair detoxifier I used last Thursday and I didn't have to wash my hair for 5 days after--it got totally stripped.

Whenever feasible I think sloth, gluttony and neglect can be soooooooo rewarding  ...don't let the youngsters get to ya ...g
