I am back to review my week. I apologize for my speedy exit in my last blog post, but I had to go driving. I'm not going to babble any longer. So here we go.
Wednesday: I had a riveting day full of chores and reading my book Youth In Revolt. I also went to H&M and bought three pairs of rad sunglasses. One black, circular pair, One over-sized green tortoise shell pair and, one pair of orange aviators.
Thursday: More chores and TV and ska listening.
Friday: My cousins Cameron and Devon came over to spend the night. We went swimming at a friends house, and ate a whole box of oreo's. My sister and I had a blast throwing little Devon across the pool from our shoulders. Later, we went home and watched some stupid straight to DVD movie, Its a Boy-Girl Thing. I retreated to my room to finish my book. When the movie was over everyone came into my room, and surprisingly Cameron passed out on my floor. As many girl who have been to sleepovers know, the one who falls asleep first gets tormented. So we went with tradition and tortured Cameron. At first we made Devon put lipstick on Cammy. It escalated into green eyeshadow, then sunglasses, then a hat, then a toothbrush. We captured a few pictures. (I'm sorry Cammy)
I wont embarrass her anymore.
Saturday: My cousins left in the morning and I went to a birthday party in the afternoon. It was a fun party and I gave my friend the new Reel Big Fish CD. I bought a copy myself and I would like to say that it is phenomenal. It is a best of CD, but comes with a bonus skacoutic CD that I am in love with. There is a duet with Aaron Barrett and Leila Khan from Sonic Boom Six that blows my mind. They sing She Has A Girlfriend Now, which just happens to be one of my favorite RBF songs. I can listen to it enough.
I forgot to mention all of the great movies I watched this week. I watched the classic witch movie, The Craft. I loved the style in the movie and was infatuated with the grunge look. My dad has been trying to get me to watch it, but Ive been reluctant. I have to say, Dad you were right. I also watched Donnie Darko and found it very thought provoking and interesting. The ending is fantastic and very powerful. I don't want to give away the story but I would like to advise all who have not seen it to watch it. Now. Do it. Now.
Back to reality.
Sunday: I woke up to a lazy Sunday. (SNL reference)Mr. Pib and Red Vines equal crazy delicious! Then I swept outside and blogged. I was dragged away from my computer to go to crossroads and didn't buy anything. I came up with the daring idea of dying my hair. My dad went for it o we drove to Hot Topic to buy the dye. Then we had to go to Ulta to buy the bleach, but they don't sell any. We drove all the way to Sally Beauty Supply and purchased the bleach. All ready to go, We got in the car and it wouldn't start. Meanwhile, the alarm was sounding to make things worse. It just so happened to be really hot, too. We gave up on the car and decided to be picked up in the parking lot. It was about 4 o'clock at this point so my dreams of having pink hair were crushed. I wouldn't have enough time to dye it before I went to my moms. I didn't dye it and ate some tri-tip instead. I went to my moms and was very happy to be greeted by my dog, Tucker. It was so painful to be away from him. That was my day.
Monday: I slept in, and went to my grandmas in the morning. I assisted her in painting her dining room a sage green, which turned out fantastic. Its is very calming. My grandma and I dropped my sister off at a friends and picked up the sequel to my book. The sequel is titled Revolting Youth: The Further Journals of Nick Twisp. Ive read a good chunk of it already, and it is living up to the previous novel. After picking up the book, we tried out this new cupcake shop, and bought a root beer float cupcake. It was quite delicious. My mom came home shortly after us, so we rushed home to dye my hair with the dye I had purchased the day before. It was scary but well worth it. I had to bleach it first and that had to sit for about 20 minutes. I should have left it longer. Here's my hair after the bleaching excursion
It was tough because some of my hair is much lighter than the rest of it, o we had to base the time off the lightest strip. Then we out in the pink and here's of pictures of the process.
That's me waiting for the dye to soak in. That step took an hour.
That's the finished product. I call it my rainbow sherbet hair. Its pink at the roots then fades to an orange. Threes also a stripe underneath, but its not that noticeable.
That last picture had flash, so the colors are more vibrant.
I better go.
As Mark Wahlburg would say,"say hello to your mother for me."
