Sorry about the shortness of my last post, I had to run off to the lab for my robotics team.

Jilayne: I always do a rinse or wet my hair first thing in the morning, so then it's pretty for school  .  So, to keep it easy for myself at 6:30 when I'm not quite awake, I mix it up the night before in a waterbottle.  I almost fill it up with water, then add enough ACV so that it's a very pale yellowish.  Maybe... a tablespoon, maybe less? I don't really measure.  Others here can probably give you a more accurate recipe.

HAIR STICKS CAME!!!  I was waiting for so long I was worried they wouldn't come!  They're REALLY PRETTY!!!! I got green ones (Daylilly Dreaming GlimmerStix) and they're GORGEOUS!  I opened them up and laughed because they matched my shirt (light green with peach and orange and darker green accents)!  I'll put up photos of them in my hair sometime when I don't feel as lazy.

Okay, thanks Callisto! I'll have to try that soon!

Still no photo...  the main problem is that if my hair looks good, I don't want to put it up, and then if it is a mess, I don't really want to remember it by taking a photo.  I'll get it done sometime....

My hair is happy- I've been wearing it oiled and braided a lot to keep down on tangling.  I've also been doing S&D's.  I think I've made it official-- Tuesday nights during House is official split end DEATH TIME. 

It's pretty funny- we're playing football in gym and I am QB for our team.  Even though there are a ton of guys in our team, I'm the best at throwing a football. 
Just goes to show them....

We got to burn things today in my chem class.  Pretty colors.... The girl who worked across from us was a bit of a pyromaniac... so she used these massive salt samples and wanted to take photos of all the flames (we were testing the individual line emission spectra of element salts and using them to identify unknown salts.  Just quantum Bohr stuff, though not Bohr-ing.  Sorry, bad pun, couldn't resist ).

Tanai: Yeah, I actually prefer the junior size ones (instead of just the mini ones) because my hands are too small.  But I can use both.

I like my chem class. I kinda have a reputation for actually knowing what's going on, and it's rather funny....  One of the people who sits at my table is the JV waterpolo captain, and he's always asking me to explain things and shouting, punching the air and high-fiving me once he understands it.  Guys are weird.

Yeah... um... if you watch the TV show House, and know the character Chase (the australian) that's what my chem teacher looks like..... Could also be described as a surfer guy. He's a good teacher, but.... when a bunch of girls in your grade think your chem teacher is cute.... it's mildly awkward.  Thankfully, I'm NOT one of them; I have more sense than that....

hair is drying down, I've had it braided and oiled all week.  I'm going to braid it tonight for bed, as usual.

Tanai: .  We seem to be having two simultaneous cyberspace conversations. 

For some reason, I am incredibly sore today.  I don't know why, as I only had one of my usual two dance classes yesterday.  Probably the lack of sleep from the stupid PSAT is catching up with me.

Hair is reasonably happy, braided and out of my way.  Later tonight I'll probably unbraid it and put some oil on it as I left it be yesterday when I washed it.

Despite the PSAT I've had a pretty lazy weekend, and I'm feeling kinda bad about it.  I keep snacking on chocolate chips... Oh, well, at least tomorrow I have ballet class, and I won't feel lazy after that... More along the lines of ugghhh.  But I love the class, and I wish my dad would let me take more classes.  But my aunt (his sister) was a professional ballet dancer, which means classes for an hour and a half every day, at the least, starting at age 14.  Since he saw all the bad of ballet from the outside when he was a kid, and none of the power and beauty of it that you feel, he disapproves.

I wouldn't mind as much except my school requires a minimum of three classes a week for two years before going on pointe.  And I really want to go on pointe!  But, again, dad has forbidden me from doing pointe, as well as making it impossible.  My only hope is to take pointe in college, when he can stop controlling my life. 

Yeah, the body type thing is a little ridiculous.  I'm lucky, though, because I'm pretty close to the right body type and I look right.  It has something to do with the proportion of the head size to the length of the limbs, and having the right lines the shape of the head and length of the neck helps.  Also, as I'm NOT planning on making ballet my career, it's OK if I'm not quite right. 

Hair is braided bun again, well coated with oil.  I need to put it in a high bun for ballet tonight then I'll braid it for sleeping.

It's homecoming (also called spirit) week at school so people are wearing weird clothes.  A friend of mine ( a guy) wore a kilt over pinstriped pants today and wore the kilt to gym class!  It wouldn't have been so funny except he was playing center in football and when he tried to hike the ball it got stuck in his kilt! 

Tomorrow we're supposed to be 'public service' so my friends and I are going to be secret service agents.   .  Hair'll be in a bun, when black dress pants, black leather shoes, white button-down shirts, sunglasses and optional trench coats/ suit jackets.  Another friend is finding us earwires and we're going to pretend to patrol around the quad at brunch and lunch.

lmao!  I'd pay to see something like that!  One guy back when I was in school wore a kilt one day, and it wasn't even during spirit week. Then again he was also the same guy who for ID card pictures teased his bleached hair really big and the camera guy kept yelling at him to take his "wig" off.  So that probably explains a lot.

I remember spirit week. I didn't really do anything till my senior year. We needed the points, it looks pretty stupid if the senior class doesn't win spirit week.  We always had color day, where each grade wears a different color. But the other days varied. There was trick-or-treat day. One time two guys, wore sumo suits.  My senior year I went as a hippie which also happened to be the day we took our choir picture.  We also had country western day, almost always twin day, retro day, Pirates of the Caribbean day, our mascot was a pirate. *sigh* Strange times.
