I love your hair!

Does your necklace have any significance?

thanks!

i've worn an ankh since i was like 13. the original one was given to me by someone who died later that year. i wore it for YEARS up until i decided to give it to a very good friend as a symbolic show of affection when i was 21. then wyl gave me another one when i was 22 and it snapped finally over the summer of '06. this one he helped me pick out at the local hippie shop but i bought for myself hoping it would last longer if i got it for myself, lol. weird, i know, but it would be unnatural for me to *not* wear an ahnk, obviously.

Wow that looks incredible! My shitty hair is jealous. How did you get all thin? My fat ass is jealous too.

How did you get your hair like that?

now you know my skinny secret (not too much of a secret so much as doctors not doing a damn thing).

i dyed my hair black first, then i got a highlighting cap and pulled through like 392875438763721 little strands and some chunky strands and put on this bleach that the man has that will suck the color out of anything. you look pretty silly for that step. then i just put the red over it, it's beyond zone wild red and i hate it now, it fades 60% after the first damn wash. i'm so switching back to special effects.

Oh, cool. And damn, I was going to steal your look but I cannot deal with those highlighting caps, something about having my hair pulled makes me really incredibly pissed off even when I'm responsible for it. I get practically homicidal. No idea why.

Special effects does work pretty well. I've always liked the colors manic panic has but the fade factor is shit.

plus they've raised the price to $9.99 a jar too (manic panic). sorry, but $10 for cool color that fades faster than you can say "bob's your uncle" just isn't worth it.

i miss the days when the jars were $4.99 and bleach came in $.99 packages!

Yeah, I can't deal with that shit anymore, too poor. I just use my ghetto $6 Miss Clairol "natural blue black" and call it a day.

I know, I think I will just steal the way you do your eye makeup instead! :P

You've got such a nice face. It's been a while since I have seen it! 2003?

It does look like you've lost quite a bit of weight!

Anyway, the hair is hot!
