Spoilers. Big, big, big spoilers.

The Horizon )

edit: I'm an idiot. Just took out one of my tags, as it would kinda majorly spoil things on its own, and I'm not sure [livejournal.com profile] g_shadowslayer has seen the ep yet. Sorry! Please don't kill me...
And in case anyone was wondering, I redid my default Syd local girl icon. The old one's been bugging me for a while.

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. :)

It's possible I'm sick. Or just really miserable with allergies. I can't tell. I took a nap yesterday afternoon, woke up with a really sore throat, and have felt basically crappy since. Now I'm tired and achy, too, and it's not looking good.

Not sure where I might have picked up this thing- could've been a lot of places. School, the bus, my new doctor's office when I went in the other day... I try to avoid people who look obviously sick, but who doesn't, right? I'm going to take some Advil Cold & Sinus later- never tried it for anything cold-like, but it works well on the sinus stuff, so I'm hopeful.

I really don't wanna be sick on Halloween.

I'm doing my annual "baffle the classmates" costume. Last time I had a class on Halloween, I dressed up as a Psi Cop. I lost count of the "WTF?" looks I collected. And since everyone stares at me like I'm a freak anyway (yeah, still carrying the cane, and they haven't gotten tired of staring at it yet, morons) I figure why not give 'em something else to stare at? So I'm dying my hair today.

Red. Sydney Bristow in the first episode of Alias, red. Or, okay, not quite that bright, but only because I couldn't find a dye that would do that with hair as dark as mine. So we're going for a sort of cranberry. I haven't decided if I'm going to try and scare up a graphic or two to photoshop into a CIA ID I can print out and clip to my belt or something, or if I'm just going to wander around and be obscure. "Yeah, I'm that chick from Alias, you know? You don't? Stop watching Survivor and check it out."

It was either that or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and apparently you can buy any kind of plastic axe or sword your heart desires, but there are no fake crossbows.

And I sorta don't think I should carry a real one, temping as that is.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night. We haven't had trick-or-treaters in ages, since you don't really get many in apartments. But there are tons of kids around here, so that should be fun. We even have candy, though we did have to go out and buy more, because we ate it all. They make baby Tootsie Roll Pops now. Too cute.

Depending on how horrible I feel later, I may or may not take pictures of the Syd hair. Maybe if I can photoshop out the giant zit that decided to form on my chin... and the dark circles under my eyes, and... Hey! I know! I'm Syd after the dentist from hell gets hold of her.

Yes, I am completely nuts. Like this is news? :)

I'm gonna go eat something and pop that Advil C&S, and hope it helps.

Well. That was, to say the least, interesting.

beware of spoilers )

...to update the massive unfinished fic meme from hell.

More for me than for anyone else, but

if you're interested... )

I finished one fic that was on the old list (Visiting Hours, Harry Potter) but I've added...several more. *sigh* At least I won't be bored for a bit, right? Plus the whole NaNoWriMo. 'Cause I'm really nuts.

Probably the most overused fic title last summer, but I wrote mine, or most of it, the day after the season finale. And proceeded to lose it amidst my old school papers from last semester, history notes and math homework.

I found it again yesterday, and finished it.

Two Years )

Took me hours to find the part of this I wrote last semester, and I was paniced that I'd lost it for a while... Anyway, I think some parts of it that I wrote yesteday may have been colored by having seen the seaosn premier, but oh well.

Will post on the sites as soon as I've gotten a summary written. Oh yes, and I get home from *sigh* class.

I swear, I'm getting spoiled at GreatestJournal; 10 icons suddenly doesn't seem like enough. I want to add more, but I can't decide which of the angry/angsty set to get rid of for a bit. Perhaps should ditch the default, but then I don't know what I'd use for a default.

Maybe I should think about this when I'm slightly more awake.

Or awake at all, for that matter.

Watched Alias last night... Yay! Have missed my Alias.

click for half-asleep spoilers )

More coherence fortcoming later....I hope. I've got two tests to survive before I hit that point, though, plus...Monday. Hate Mondays. A lot.

I don't want to think or talk about school, or my life, so I'm going to do a bit of slightly out of date Alias commentary.

Countdown spoilers, & related stuff )

Have shot off email to [livejournal.com profile] thenonsense, containing list of ideas, seeking second opinon. Now have nothing else to stall with, so must go and do homework.

Blah.

Also finished Alias fic last night, Triangle. Revising last ep, "Phase One". Syd sneaks Irina out of federal custody to go rescue Jack- mother-daughter ass-kicking little adventure. Posted to ff.n despite telling self I wouldn't; like the way the reviews pop up in my inbox for a day or two after. 2 so far, not that I keep track or anything.

Sigh. Math homework. Right.
