The Blind Spy

[urbandruid]

I love dyeing my hair. Except for the 30 minutes I have to sit in the kitchen without my glasses on so as to avoid dyeing my glasses, and the half hour I spend in the shower wondering if I'm ever going to get the excess dye out of my hair. (Oh, and the minute I spent frantically splashing water on the wall of my shower till I learned that the dye would come off, and I wouldn't spend forever with my shower looking like a scene from CSI.)

Actually, the worst part was letting my mother chop a half-inch wide, couple inches long test strip off one of the middle layers of my hair. She took it from where it wouldn't show, but... OMG someone is coming near my hair with scissors, run! I had a couple bad hair cut experiences when I was a kid, where I said make it a little shorter, and they made it a lot shorter. I don't look good with super-short hair, so this displeased me. But I looked in the mirror and you really can't tell where she did it, so yay!

So I'm sitting here all in black, with my spiffy new cranberry red hair, which I haven't seen in sunlight yet. I may be closer to that nice vibrant Syd color I was after than I thought- it's hard to tell when you dye your hair at night. Oops. Needed some sleep, though, so... yeah.

On the cold/allergies/whatever the hell front, my head started draining last night and I woke up able to breathe out of my nose. I'm taking this as a good sign- and popping another Advil Cold & Sinus on my way out the door to class this morning.

I wonder if anyone will know what I am. I wonder if anyone will know that I'm anything, besides the freak with the cane and now, red hair. So far I have decided there are two people I may tell who I'm dressed as, if they ask- my psych prof, and my buddy in psych class, who laughs with me at the stuff nobody else gets. Need to ask her for her notes anyway, since I cut class last Wednesday. Yeah, I was bad, and the kidneys were bugging me, so I decided to stay home.

I'll also tell the woman who cuts my hair, when I get it done again next week, because she watches the show. And she already knows I'm odd this way. :)

I love Halloween. It's always been one of my favorite holidays. And I figure since I've got to go to class and all, I might as well have fun today. Right? Right.

Speaking of, I'd better go see if I really do know where my boots are, or if I just think that I do...

I'll try to post pictures later today, for those of you who want to see them. (And the rest of you can just scroll past the LJ-cut, so there!)

Happy Halloween, guys. :)

Hee hee -- hooray for hair dye! Don't you just love that CSI-scene bathtub thing? I swear, one time I used my favourite Feria colour (chocolate cherry), and the downstairs neighbors got all freaked because the water was leaking down behind the tiles and was looking like their ceiling was bleeding...

Hahahahaha oh dear! Poor neighbors- I don't blame them for freaking out there.

Happy Halloween!

So, you have to let us know if anyone else got it.

Thanks, same to you (a day late, but still)

And nope, nobody got it.
