Were you always a blond?

No, I wasn't always a blond.  In fact, up until a few hours ago, I had mousey brown hair.  And it hung down almost to my waist.  Now, however, is another matter.

Now, I've got hair that's nearly platinum and it's short...and spiky.  And it has black at the tips.  It is a really different look for me.  I mean really different.

Of course, I'm fair game for blond jokes now, too.

I just wanted to do something different.  I was bored with myself.  And the plan had been to bleach my hair as light as it would go, dye the tips black, and then, at Clarion, dye the remaining blond part purple.

I can't do the purple thing, now.  I've got a bottle of purple dye that won't do much until I get bored enough with my hair the way it is to decide to dye it back to something natural.

I'll have to find other ways to keep myself entertained and relieve stress while I'm at Clarion.  Guess that's why I'm planning to bring my Crayola crayons and my colored pencils.  Oh, and my Edward Gorey books, too.

Have I mentioned I can't wait? :)
