Candid- Short and Sweet

Class color day today. Two more days until the hell that is the pep rally, but I digress. I decked myself out in blue, and temp. dyed my hair. I don't want to part with the color. I've talked to my mom, and we've agreed to undertake a ridiculous adventure in dying my hair.
Why is it ridiculous? Every single time I have tried to highlight my hair, it was disastrous. I either get leopard spots instead of normal stripe-y highlights or the color doesn't appear uniform all over.

But I've planned it out this time. My bangs are going to be a solid color, and that color is then going to be highlights throughout the rest of my hair. Chunky highlights. I just have to decide what color I want. I'm going to dye it blonde first, then layer the color over since my hair, if bleached, becomes orange. I was thinking of painting it a purple color, since brown is a complement of brown, which is the color of both my hair and eyes. I'll see. I don't want pink, or anything too vibrant. Might leave it blonde if I can't decide.

I'm just so excited for this. Getting my hair cut sometime this weekend. It really needs a trim. The layers have grown quite long, and my hair no longer has volume. I have limp, pathetic hair. It makes me miserable half of the time.

In other news...

Today's dinner is french fries and eggs. The only healthy part is the tomato salad, which still has olive oil. I need to diet. Jogging everyday starting tomorrow. Hopefully it'll clear up my complexion, too.

I feel this is going to be my last week of relaxation. After this, I'm going to be working nonstop for all of my classes (except World History, which is a freshman class and at a very nice, slow rate). It's like the calm before the storm, and this particular storm is creating a tidal wave just beyond the horizon that is ready to come into view and leave me petrified and very, very doomed.

I have an idea I'm really excited to start working on for art. I just need a reference picture. I need a girl with fairly long hair, hanging upside down. I'm thinking of finding a way to coax my cousins to the movies/playground this weekend. Unfortunately, knowing my sister, she won't want to drive anywhere. She'll insist we can, and should, walk to the movie theater/park. I don't get her fixation with only going to places within walking distance. I usually want to get away and take a break.

Last thing; reading Brave New World. Haven't finished chapter one and I'm loving it. It's complex/challenging enough that I'm not bored while reading it, but not so much so that I never want to crack it open.
