Summer Hair = Forever Young

13
August

I dyed my hair about an hour ago. I was going to dye it hot pink, but as it was drying, I noticed that the pink wasn’t exactly visible. I decided to try with a different color, because I neede a change. (Anytime red hair becomes über-cool, my hair becomes any color other than red.) Well, I went with black. (I forgot to put the gloves on this time, so my hands are nice and stained.) I mixed in a little bit of the purplish dye in, and I ended up with…dark brown. It may be darker when it dries completely. The roots are still their natural platinum blonde color.

Though I royally screwed the whole process up, I think I did a good job for someone who had never dyed her own hair before. I mean, it’s not all falling out, so that’s a good sign, right?

My parents are at Nana’s right now, or in Guntersville. I really wanted to go. When I called her to tell her that I didn’t feel up to traveling down there, she sounded so hurt. I hate when I make her feel bad. We almost never get to see one another anymore. I have got to get to feeling better soon so that I can see her. I miss her so much, and I always wish I was down there. I love spending part of the summer at her house. It’s so quiet there, because she lives in the middle of nowhere. Of course, some of the quiet drives me crazy, ’cause I need some traffic sounds.

Wow…apparently, yesterday Huntsville had the top record high, according to CNN. Hotter here than Birmingham, which is further south. We’re always the hottest spot in the state, except The Shoals, which is about an hour and a half west of here.

Ugh. I need to get the registry info for my optical drive because I am sick of the error on iTunes.

You’ve Got to Dig

My hair is getting longer quickly. It always surprises me how fast hair grows back in. It’s almost to a decent length (for me). I’ve always hated the way I look with short hair. It helps certain features and makes others worse. Of course, I know that I’m the only one who notices that kind of thing about me.

The house that belonged to the bad neighbors has been purchased. It was actually sold a couple of weeks ago, but I never really paid attention to it. I can’t only hope that the people who move in are not quite as devilish as the last owners. Maybe they’ll actually be nice to all of their neighbors, instead of treating everyone in the neighborhood like crap.

I paid off the fine and the court costs for the overgrown grass thing a couple of weeks ago. I had to hunt out my checkbook, and when I got up there, they said that it was one of those things that had multiple fines (not true) and had to be paid with a debit or credit card. So, I did that. I thought it was funny that my court slip said something different from the person working in the cashier area. Maybe the judge doesn’t know the policy? I doubt that.

This layout at fps has only been up around 24 hours and I already am sick of it. I hate it when I make stuff because by the time I put things up, I end up thinking that they are absolute rubbish. I’ll probably think it’s super-duper-incredible-fantastic when I wake up tomorrow.

I’m hoping that after next week, I can figure out what is officially wrong with me. I am so sick of these specialists. Most of them are nice, but having to fill out new paperwork all the time is not fun, and none of them wants to look at the whole picture. I used to see specialists in high school, when my health was getting crappy (prior to massive insanity), and it was always confusing because even I didn’t know what which doctor knew. I understand that they have specialties for a reason, but part of treatment has to do with looking at where certain issues lie on a spectrum.

I may be dyeing my hair this weekend. I’ve meant to do it since the sinus surgery, but I’ve chickened out. I’ve actually got all of the stuff that is recommended to do it, but I haven’t done it yet. On this, I am like a coop full of chickens scared of messing up my hair. It’s finally not really damaged, and I’m a bit worried that it might get damaged using the dye. I also can’t figure out which color I want to try. I have a bright pink, a dark pink, and black. I’ve had dark hair in the past, and it actually looks almost natural on me. (My dad’s family has dark hair.)

I’m hoping my mom wakes up soon. Last week, when we went to Wal-Mart, it was my week to pay. Well, I had left my debit card in my jacket from when I saw Eclipse, so I decided to try to write a check. Of course, I almost never write a check and this check was in the first 100 checks. So, even though I had the money in the account and an ID to prove my identity, their computer rejected the check. Since it was around 2 in the morning, I couldn’t exactly call the number that they gave me. My mom picked up the cost, and she said to write her a check to reimburse her. Well, that’s what I’ve been planning on doing, except that last night she said that she wants me to just cover this week’s groceries instead. She didn’t tell my dad about this, because he would get upset, so he asked me tonight to make sure that the check was ready to go to the bank in the morning. I didn’t really know what to say. I know he would probably handle this kind of thing coming from me better than her, since lately he’s been nicer to me than her, but I don’t want her to go through that kind of wrath-like state that he might go into if he gets upset. It always breaks my heart to see him snap at her, even when she’s being naggy. I know that my mom is really strong, but the way that he talks to her sometimes, it makes her seem like she’s fragile. I guess almost 30 years together can cause a couple to know which buttons to press.

Oh, and even if I’m not doing fanlistings anymore, I’m glad that I started talking to more of the people from TFL again last year. I really enjoy talking to Haley, Shu, Christina, Ashley, Kara and everyone else in the middle of the night. I have had so much fun with our wacky conversations. I feel sorry for anyone who is up and following me on Twitter in the middle of the night that doesn’t know what is going on. Honestly, some of our stuff is pretty crazy, but it’s always a good stress reliever.

November

Well, I went through my makeover, but I can’t really talk about it or show pictures until after Thanksgiving. It had a pretty good reception at school on Friday.

I was going to go Christmas shopping yesterday, but I couldn’t figure out what to get anyone. I’m going to go the day after Thanksgiving with the help of Klonopin. I have already bought one present. I wanted to get everything over before the major rush of shoppers, but it looks like that’s not going to happen.

I’ve decided that I’m going to learn to drive sometime in the next few months. That way I can go visit Nana more often. I would say that I could go on my days off next semester, but that would just be Saturday and Sunday. I think I may have surprised my dad by saying that I need to learn to drive soon.

I had an interesting experience on Wednesday. The President of the Social Work Club got into a fight with a girl with braids and a tattoo. According to “braids”, “President” had slept with her husband. They’d been having a lot of arguments that day, and things were just escalating. Well, it culminated in a fight; 2 fights actually. The fight was between Diverse Populations (we’d gotten out early) and Art of Interviewing, both in the sense of time and where it was happening. The first time it was stopped, “President” went to the Social Work chairperson’s office to cool off. “Braids” was left to pick up her stuff. Well, as she picked up her stuff, she was insulting “President”. “President’s sister” was in the hall and she went after her. Somehow “President” heard and she came out there looking thoroughly pissed. They fought and a chair was thrown. The campus police came and took all 3 girls to their station. There were about 5 people out in the hall when the fight began, probably all Social Work majors, and no one knows who started the fight. I guess the police figured out because I saw “President” in Bibb-Graves Hall on Friday. I thought that “President” probably threw the first punch because of the SW student amnesia. I also thought that both girls would get expelled. I also think that whoever stepped on my toe owes me an apology. You’d think they would notice that they’d stepped on my toe. If they can’t figure that out, then are they going to be able to feel it when they run someone over?

Oh, I had a lovely experience on Tuesday when I went to register for classes. My account had an encumbrance against it. Apparently, my financial aid hadn’t gone through. Well, I went on Thursday and paid off my account before walking up to the Financial Aid office and asking what was going on. My financial aid paperwork had gotten “stuck” while it was being processed. The girl in the office went ahead and approved my Pell Grant and loan, both of which were small considering last year’s income. Of course, just a few minutes ago I looked at my fee and payment information. I’m not going to get my money back. The Pell Grant paid, but they took it away with the “Bal of Financial Aid”. WTF? That means that they’ll do the same thing next semester and I’ll have to pay some more. You know, full rides should literally be full rides. I shouldn’t have to pay, and I shouldn’t have to have my grant and loan money taken away. I need things like new clothes (which I need since I’m falling out of some of mine) and school supplies that I can’t get when they take way my money to balance out my financial aid.

I hate to beg, but can anyone please volunteer to help ask Question of the Day or Daily Debate questions on Celestial? I’d just need people who could ask questions on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. You wouldn’t have to ask thought-provoking questions. Just ask something interesting. The QotD could be about a lyric from a song, a line from a movie, or a survey-like question. The DD doesn’t have to be what’s going on in the news. It can be something silly or serious. Please help me, guys/girls!
