*thinks, then grins*

Well, I made quite the mess of things today and I feel terrible about what happened. I really do. It was an honest mistake, and I may have lost a best friend over it.
But yeah, I've been so tired and overwhelmed with homework now, that I haven't had the time to post. It's so hard to balance school with everything else, considering that I have techno for more than 12 hours this weekend, and I'm supposed to be working on my SRC, or Safety Review Committee for Science Research? HAH. SHORE I'll have time to do that this weekend! I barely have time to eat breakfast on my way out the door.
So, I watched the movie "Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past" and it was really good. I liked it, and even though it was a play on Charles Dickens, it was still really good. Totally predictable, but so is every chick flick ever written.
I can't wait. Next weekend is Battle of the Bands, and I think I'm gonna go back to my natural hair color-blonde. I tried out red for a little bit, and I like dying my hair, but it's getting to be too expensive and too time consuming, so I'll do it one last time to get my hair back to it's normal color, and then I'm done with it.
Funny, I did the same thing last year, and I think that there's a post. It's been a little bit more than a year that I've had this blog. For anyone that's been with me from the beginning, thank you for putting up with any changes that I've made, and anything else that I've done to confuse you with the blog.
So, today's rant has to do with hair dying and the affect it has on society.
My friend Avery came up to me during track practice today and asked what color she should dye her hair. I replied with a quick and loud "NO." She looked at me oddly and then I explained myself. My reasoning is that it's time consuming, once you start, you have to go forever (or until your hair falls out), it's expensive, and you will always have to worry about root lines. The only reason that I dyed my hair in the first place was because I was bored one Saturday morning in the beginning of November. I mean, yeah, it's fun to do and it's good if you have a crappy color, but my advice is that you shouldn't even start. Getting your tips done is one thing because you can always get them cut off if they start to fade, or you can re-dye them a different color.
Unless your hair grows really fast, then don't dye your hair, and if you do, always make sure that you don't go into a pool within 72 hours, otherwise the color will run and it will look disgusting. One does not want disgusting hair.
So one of my best girlfriends has this AMAZING curly dark brown hair. I used to wish(when we were younger) that I could have her hair since it's such a nice color and texture. I have bland, almost straight hair that runs over my chest and it's a nice color, now that the red hair color is almost out.
But what I don't understand is why people feel the need to hide what they have that's nice. Color contacts, for example, take away from the natural beauty of the eye color. So what if it's brown? It doesn't make that big a deal. If your eyes are blue(like mine), all you get is "Oh my gosh! Your eye color is so pretty!" and that bothers me. I know I sound so whiny at being called pretty, but I don't want to be known as a body or any thing like that because then I feel like I'm not actually appreciated.
But it's not a big deal.
