October 21, 4:20 am.

I need to post here more often. Although right now the gap is hilarious, I don't remember being sweet on this boy for a month, but apparently I have been! And yes, adorakble is a great word! I love it!

Hair: I don't intend to shampoo it at all this week. Because..... I'm going to dye it. Black. I intend to use the semi-permanent type that will come out in 25 washed or whatever.(and the reason is because of Scarlett O'Hara. I've been re-reading it, and watching the movie obsessively. I have green eyes and I just wanna look more like her for a little while!) So I want to let the natural oils protect my hair when I do that awful thing to it. I really can't resist. And I need a change, a temporary hair one would be good!

School: I'm going to fail Culinary Arts. No really, I think a month in it's already set from my absences. I recently got 4 detentions in 2 days from missing 1st and most of second two day in a row.  Embarrassed But then again, detentions aren't that bad. I have time to read, or do homework. And since usually I'll have to walk home I get some exercise in. Detentions are good things, kids! Get lots of them!
Also the blood drive is on the 30th. This is the first year I'm actually old enough to give blood, so I would like to. I just barely weigh the minimum though, so I'm a bit afraid I'll pass out. I never have fainted before, I wonder what it's like! Plus extra credit in one of my classes, and a free cookie. I hope I remember to sign up.

Ian: XD I feel a bit silly giving him his own section, but here we go. He started talking to me, gentlemen that he is. Smiley And giving me hugs. I get one from him everyday now! He's incredibly nice, and funny.  I sit on the opposite side if the room from him though, so I don't get to talk to him except for after class. Oh well. Hopefully I've made a new friend in him!

Homecoming: I'm a bit upset I didn't go. I got asked by one guy, but they uh... well I just didn't want to go with them at all. He seemed to think it was okay to invite me to hang out with him, and not tell me he and his friends were drunk. Not okay. Not even a little bit okay. For some reason the only boys that ask me out aren't the type of boy I want to date at all.  Undecided But I'll try not to dwell on it(and try to figure out how I give out the message of liking guys like that so I can stop it). I'm only 16, for goodness' sake. Like I need some guy to like me. And being an old maid probably isn't even that bad anyway!!  Cheesy

Health: I've been extremely exhausted the past few days. I think it might just be a lack of sleep. Today I was kinda just stumbling along, sitting down whenever possible. Hopefully after school today I won't get very much homework and can rest up nice and good. I want to go back to sleep now, but if I do I won't get my part of a group project done, and will probably be late. Plus I slept 8 hours, so I shouldn't be tired. If this goes on for too long I'll ask to see a doctor.

Okay that's it! Now I gotta keep researching the geography of the Tohoku region in Japan!! I can't think of what else to put, but I need two slides. I'll fill half of one with a picture, hahaha. My group won't mind.
Bye!

*sigh* Sorry, hon, but I just can't resist offering a little advice. Do with it what you like.

Point 1: You have light colored hair and using a demi-permanent (through 24 shampoos) to dye it black will stain it permanently. I'd suggest using a semi-permanent (lasts about a week) or spray-on color.
    A decade ago, I decided to use a demi-permanent to dye my waist length hair black. I have light auburn hair naturally, and you know what happened? The dye took permanently and I had to cut all of my hair off. Now you can't say that I didn't warn you.

Point 2: No matter how sweet you are on this Ian fellow, he's taken. And no matter how discreet you think you're being with your affections, the whole world (including him and likely his gf) can read you like a book.
    But what if he's acting as if he likes you back? That's his problem. You're better off in every way just leaving the taken guys alone no matter how badly you want to be around them. Otherwise, you're just inviting all kinds of unnecessary drama...and it doesn't sound like you need any more of that at the moment.

Anyway, like I said, take it or leave it but there it is.
*hugs* All the best to you, love.

Of course I would want your advice! You're older than me, for one, and from reading what you have to say and talking to you I actually like and respect you! Give any advice you please.
I did know the black would stain, but it didn't seem like that big a deal at the time I thought about it...
And don't worry about Ian. If he is taken I shan't be too upset. I barely know him anyway!  Wink*hug* thank you for the advice.

October 22, 10:20 PM

Hair: I conditioned it all today and used a leave in that actually seemed to have made it straighter as well. So that was a great plus! Although it feels kind of greasy, I think that is just because I haven't washed it in a while rather than from the leave in(which was that heat protectant, but this time I didn't use any heat)

And now I am seriously reconsidering the black thing. I figured today that I wouldn't go black, but just a very dark brown. That would basically just be darkening my natural color. I'm not sure, I think I just want to do something with my hair. Maybe I'll dye it with kool-aide again!(my dad bought me purple a few days ago when I said I wanted it to be black  Roll Eyes) Yeah right.

School: I've done all my homework on time this week, so that's good. And I haven't missed Culinary Arts! And we have Friday off, so I get that day to rest! Good week so far. Although math test tomorrow. I think I'm ready for it, but I did the review and I couldn't remember how to do some of the stuff. And his tests are usually 10 questions, so miss more than 2 and you're ruined. DX I'll just have to make some notes.

Health: Yesterday I stretched my legs out, and then was in intense pain for quite a few minutes, basically unable to move my right leg. It's still sore. I think I might have pulled the calf muscle. And really all I did was stretch it right out in front of me!
I'm betting it has something to do with wearing high heels 6 1/2 hours a day 5 days a week... I always made sure to take them off when I'm not outside, and if I have to walk long distances I wear flats. That wouldn't have shortened the tendon, would it?
Just to be safe I wore flip flops today and intend to tomorrow. The muscle is still slightly sore when I move my ankle around, and if I sit for too long, when I stand up I put my weight on it. I just hop for a second and then it lets me walk.

Fashion: I went to the OPI nail polish website and I desperately want some of their nail polish. I have to get some! And I found a really nice clothes website a little while ago, called Topshop It is a bit expensive(and I believe ships from the UK  Shocked), but the clothes are so nice! And they have some really nice shoes.(also some hideous ones, admittedly) I could never afford the pair I want though. Everything I want is always so expensive! I just naturally graviatate towards the expensive items, even before I know how much they are. It's really bad, seeing as I can never afford them! I need a job. Badly.

Other: We finally bought printer ink! Now time to make some new pins and bookmarks!  My mom lost all of my Twilight bookmarks, and I just lost the nicest one I ever made(Little Women one)so I need more. And the buttons I've just grown tired of the ones I have, so hooray!! New ink!!  Cheesy

*hugs* Anytime, babe.  Smiley

And thanx for posting that link - they do have some cute stuff (as well as a US site  Wink). I had to laugh when I saw the "Punk Couture" bit though. That's such an oxymoron.  Grin

I know what you're going through with the whole haircolor thing. I dyed my hair several times throughout high school, but stuck to the kind that wash out in a week. I believe it's called Loving Care by Clairol? Yeah, I used to have fun with those. They don't contain ammonia or peroxide, so they aren't terrible for your hair. And I used to get tired of the new color and want my natural color back after a week or 2 anyway, which is when they wear off, so it worked.  Grin
   One word about the dark browns though is that they give your hair a weird dark green cast when they start to fade.  Huh

Oh, and OPI can be found at most beauty supply stores. Good stuff - I use it almost exclusively. The colors are highly concentrated and will sometimes turn out much darker than you might think when they dry. They also require a topcoat with a UV shield because the colors oxidize like crazy.  Tongue

And btw, I think it's so cool that you make your own buttons & bookmarks! How on earth do you do it??  Cheesy
