Something Drastic

Lately I've been feeling like I want things to change, not so much in a political or life-altering way, but more of a mix-it-up-cuz-life's-so-redundant way. Usually when I feel like this, I tape something new and fantastic to my wall, or I wear crazy makeup, or buy a pair of new shoes, or bake a cake, or just do something simple that will make my life seem more exciting. But no, rearranging the furniture in my room just wasn't going to satisfy my need for a break in the monotony, so I decided to do something drastic: I bleached the crap out of my hair.

This is actually a process that's been going on for a while, as I first started lightening my hair around Xmas break, and I've been sort of a light brunette/redhead with splotchy bits of blonde, but today I bleached it once again, and then put some blonde dye in it and now I'm way more blonde. As my hair was super dark before, I'm not rocking the Gwen Steffani flawless platinum look yet, (I've still got a bit of a brassy tint going on) but I feel like my appearance is drastically different.

If I could, I'd totally follow the footsteps of my buddy Dayna, who dyes her hair all these magnificent colors. I'd totally try out the whole Audrey Kitching-bright pink tresses-look. But sadly, I have certain commitments to certain volunteer organizations that require my hair to be a color that occurs naturally on humans. Not that my almost platinum hair looks at all natural, but I don't think my superiors would find super fantstic blue hair "professional".

Still, having made this random change of my appearance, I feel like I can handle the boringness of Hicktown for a little while longer. Along with the added perks of a confidence boost and knowing that when I walk into school on Monday my friends will flip shit, being blonde is definitely exciting.

Oh wow, my first real post is about hairdye... this is gonna be one throught provoking blog, I can tell :P
