I figured it would be time to start my journal, seeing as I have decided I am in on this long hair thing for life! And also because I'm kind annoyed at my sister...

The other day she got some food from a take-out place, and found a long-ish hair in her food. (I know, disgusting XD)
Buit then she said "That's disgusting. It was like an Amanda hair!!!!(now to me) People with hair like yours shouldn't be allowed to make food."
And she continued to call my hair gross...

My hair is healthy! Not gross, just long. She seems to have issue with that...
I can;t wait to hear what she says once my hair gets even longer! ^.^
And my other sisters keep criticizing just because I don't have a haircut, it's just long. Every girl in my family(which is everyone but my dad XD) all have short hair, except my mom has about shoulder, and is going to get it cut. I'm so alone with my hair!(even my cousins and aunts and grandma have short hair O.o)

Also, I got a new shampoos last week, got this sunsilk voluminizing stuff, and notice my hair seems to be shedding more. I can't decide if it's the shampoo or I'm just paying closer attention what with wanting it to grow out.

And also, this site really knows how to upset a young girl. All those gorgeous hair accessories, and me with no money to buy them! I am determined to save up and buy at least one pair though. All those gorgeous sticks!!*le sigh*

Hahaha, wow. I can really rant about my hair, can't I?

Hair: A started doing the wash the scalp and condition the length thing. There doesn't actually seem to be a noticeable difference, but if it can improve the health of my hair, then I'm all for it!!
Also: My friend's birthday not-party(he insists on not calling it a party, it's a get-together) is tomorrow...and I don't know what to do with my hair! I want something that'll look good because a boy is going that I'd like to look good for. Which is weird for me. I'm actually trying to look good for a guy, not just because. Weird! So any ideas?? I might just wear it down..but it looks really, really messy that way.

Family Hair news: My mom got that haircut!!! And even worse--It's a bob! Agh, now I really am the only one! But then again...it's their loss of long, luxurious hair. ^.^

School: Yes, Math is required. And the worst part is I passed last semester, so I'd have to take a whole year of the same class...I can't even skip the semester I passed. DX Oh well, still have hopes.

Other: I guess that party thing counts as other news! Hopefully it'll be fun, and not depressing. My friend's girlfriend'll be there, and seeing them together kinda make me upset i don't have someone like that too. Agh, I'm much too young to be upset about such trifles!!(bad attempt at self-motivation XD)

My hair actually went great! For a few hours. I used curlers to curl some very small sections of hair, and then the brushed them out so they weren't so spirally. My hair had actually volume!!! But of course it didn't last long...it was flat in like 3 hours with the extreme heat that was going on(like 90 in WA, makes no sense). I might do the style again though, just maybe with a little spray or something.
And it's been in a pony tail all of today and probably will stay that way. I need new ideas that I can do in less than a minute. Also I need new hair ties, because a)metal and b) a chick in my chem class used one, and I doubt I shall ever get it back.

School: My AP Euro teacher slammed us with a project- a gi-HUGE-ant project. We have to plan a trip to Europe, and mark down EVERYTHING that we might need. Hotels, prices, day-by-day destination, pictures of the places. And the worst part is I was absent for a day or 2 of the project(I'm not sure, I was absent twice bu it may have started the second day I was gone) So I'm a day behind everyone else, but due the same day! I've been felling really busy and stressed with school, trying to get everything in by the deadline. Hopefully the stress doesn't make my hair fall out.

Other: And as I predicted, the party did kinda bum me out. And the boy I wanted to notice me didn't, but whatever. He lives like hours away anyways  And since then I've just decided I shan't try looking extra nice for a boy every again, it's absurd! I actually wore makeup to that party too, and for a big fat nothing.
Also, just realized I tend to use the word 'actually' a lot. I need to extend my vocab some more.

And I'd like to add that the sunsilk has a good quality: A fresh lemony scent!!!  Personally I really love the smell of it, though you can't smell it when on your hair, while shampooing it's nice!

Oh I do intend to keep looking nice for myself(and the sake of looking nice) but I refuse to doll myself up again, it's ridiculous anyways! And someone better have been thinking I looked cute, that hair technically took like 10 hours!(slept in the curlers ) And I'm gonna try that hairstyle soon! Just need to buy some bobby pins(and clips, as a notetoself)Okay now updates:

Hair: Eh, nothing new. I do enjoy the scalp washing though, I feel like condition only on my lengths is helping it to stay smooth and shiny! Also, I don't use as much conditioner! Although I am all out, so I'll have to go with my mom soon and buy some. Any suggestions on your favorites. Mine was fine, but I feel I could get better results. Maybe I'll try Dove, or something all natural if I find it!!

Family vs. Hair!:My having long hair seems to be increasingly offensive to my sister. Lately she's been bugging me more than usual, and I'm not sure why. Even going so far as to constantly tell me my hair is disgusting(which it is not! I take good care of it!!) and "Mom even said you need to get a haircut" seems to be her mantra around me. Every time I turn around "CUT YOUR HAIR!" from this one sister, no one else says a thing. And my dad actually defended my hair against her!  I don't understand why my hair is so appalling to her! But her mind has always baffled me, she watches and likes Rock of Love for goodness sake!

School: I really hate school. It sounds immature to say it, but I truly do. But I do enjoy sleeping, so I'm late a lot. If you miss a class unexcused, you get a detention. So of course, coming in 15 into third period would get me a few detention(3 in one shot!) then the next week I came during 2nd, so that added two more. I have 5 detention to serve by next Thursday!! Me and the secretary have it all worked out, thankfully enough. I think the school's late policy is a little absurd, and I now have accumulated more detention in just one week then I've ever had in all the past years put together!(that would be a grand total of 1). Not to mention the rest I got, from being late other times this year. I've probably had like 6 detention this semester, now 11.

Other: A guy friend of mine ruined one of my homemade buttons(like those pins?) Basically I just tape over them with pics, but I work hard on them, and they actually look really good. This boy and I are constantly fighting and plaguing each other. So now I need a way to get him back for ruing it. Any suggestions on horrible, but still funny, pranks? > It's really awful, he's mean to me, but makes me laugh so I can;t possibly be mad at him or hate him! So we're playfully mean to each other. And he needs to go down.

Any other news?: Nope...I have done pretty much nothing of consequence. Except beat Oogie Boogie in the video game Kingdom Hearts. (after months of being too afraid to fight him!) Oh, I have been considering trying to persuade my parents over the summer into something called "Un-schooling" where I would guide my own learning, like a form of homeschooling. I actually think would be really good for me, so I'll have to study more about it and use the summer to convince them, if I think it'd be worth it.
