let's stumble towards success and pack some snacks for little breaks

I had some bleach and blue dye, and needed to destress, so I dyed my hair yesterday. Not all of it--just a bit on the top and front. Special Effects has always treated me well, but this time...

( Blue FAIL. )

It is also very short and in a style I don't think I've ever tried before. It was supposed to end up purple, but that didn't happen for some reason. I actually kind of like it this way. I may add some purple and blue streaks at some point in the future. Two pics. The most notable comments I got today at school were, "Looks like a cross between Flock of Seagulls and a bull dyke" and "Wow, my stoner friends in New York would love it!"

I computed my math grade, and I can scrape a B if I become Shining Golden Algebra Student for the last week of class. Given my track record, that's not likely, but I shall do my absolute best.

kat_nano and I went to a NaNoWriMo TGIO party last night, even though I didn't do it this year. We got there half an hour early and people didn't really come together for a while after it was supposed to start, so I got in some nice one-on-one chatting over coffee with Kat. Then we met the other NaNoers. I ended up describing to Kat, at great length, the plot of one of the two novels on my To-Write list. She had the best reaction I could possibly have hoped for- "That's brilliant!" when I told her the basic idea for the book, and "I want to buy this!" when I went into more detail. Later, on the way home, I talked to Mom about it, and she offered a wonderful solution to a problem that's been bugging me. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about that one- maybe I'll do it next summer (I'm doing NaNo in either June or August, because I had too much homework this last month).

Human Resources is, true to Dogbert's dire predictions, ruining everything job-wise. Well, I shouldn't say everything, but things will be more complicated. And Judith found somebody else for the church job (fie!) so I won't be doing that anymore. And it's bloody freezing, contributing to my overall gloom. Things aren't that bad, though. I just feel like complaining.

That's all my sleep-deprived brain has to say for now. 'Night.

This morning, Mom suggested that we dye my hair before things get busy with trip preparation. I decided I wanted to cut it before we dyed it so as not to waste dye, and that I wanted to do something really interesting, so...







By the way, in case you couldn't tell, I've decided to pierce my right eyebrow. Incidentally, if you have any recommendations for a good piercing place in the KC area, please let me know before tomorrow.
