Colorful Me

I get a lot of people that try to figure out my style. Folks I dont have one. In fact, my style is probably a clash of a ton of other styles. In high school, I REALLY confused people. I got...a skirt DUN DUN DUN!!! It was pretty short too. It was a Tripp NYC skirt so I guess my parents, friends, and other classmates thought it was just my punk/goth side. In 2008, I dyed my hair pink. This REALLY got everyone confused.

Folks...I dont care for pink unless it is in my hair or the "other" color. Example. I fell in love with some black studded pants a while ago with pink trim. I also had pink shoes that I wore with lighter colors and my pink hair. Yes...my pink hair.

I also want to paint my nails and want a mohawk but dont want to shave my head. I dont like to use heat anymore so Im pretty curious on what my new hairstyles will be like.

naaah too organized!

Recently I used Beyond the Zone on my natural hair. The blue didnt stick well so the top is completely natural. The middle is a sort-of dark plum and the bottom is red. I have used BZ before and it didnt stick all that well but it was on sale. DAMN BEING ON SALE.

Anyway I have been looking for some crazy inspiration. In fact...I was looking at my hero, pidgeotto pidgeot. The middle one color and the sides a different color...like a dyed in mohawk.

except I will probably reverse it (lighter sides/bottom.) I shall call it *drum roll* REVERSE PIDGEOT!!!

Call me crazy but I wouldnt be so original if I took my ideas from people =]

BY THE WAY

When I was little

Remember when you were little and thought life would always have this or that?  A couple of weeks ago my grandmas fax machine went off.  I forgot to mute the modem and we were blessed with beeee burrrrrruuuup followed by the fax.  Yes her fax machine still handshakes very vocally.  Kinda got me thinking...I never thought life would change so much.

My dad is a computer nerd (I inherited it) and we, for the most part, had DSL at home.  I knew most people didnt however and was pretty used to that handshake...you know that funny sound your modem made right after your computer dialed out.  For those of you that dont know, it went a lot like this

beep...beep...beedeedee burrrrrr badangbadang shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And many other forms of that.  My grandmother had AOL for a while which made a sort of creepy alien sound and went on with more shhhhhh-ing. Depending on how fast your ISP responded, it would continue or youd connect.  When I was little, I thought dial up (which was just called internet back then) would always dominate the market and only people with nerdy parents or that were extremely rich could get DSL (which was also called internet.  Dial up was considered regular.)  Now Im older and dont have screaming modems, I found out they have a mute button.

When I was really little, I thought nothing would ever replace VHS.  I would always watch my favorite parts over and over again till my tapes would come apart.  Not once did I ever stop to think that these would be replaced by DVDs or that we would be able to stream them online (after all...dial up is slow.)  When DVDs DID get big, I thought this was some pretty sexy technology.  Then came high definition DVDs.  Next thing you know, blu ray is out.

I knew my computer games were on CD (CD...not DVD like they are now) but figured most important things were kept on floppy disks only.  I was so excited one day when my dad bought colorful floppies.  I didnt have much use for them but hey they were cool.  I eventually found out about flash drives.  Of course, those were only for the rich and/or important people!  A little while after, I accepted them and figured that this was it.  Now computer games are on DVD and Im sure they will eventually be on blu ray.

Remember Sony Walkman cassette player?  I never had one but my sister did.  I was so jealous of her cool name brand Walkman!  Of course I was born in 1990, CD players were starting to hit big.  By the time my parents let me have something portable, CD players were battery operated.  My parents/grandparents still called them walkmen but hey I was cooler.  I had a CD player!  Then, mp3 players came out.  I held onto my CD players all the way up till college when my last one finally died.  I had an mp3 player somewhere in high school but it was nowhere near as durable.  I got an iPod, which also died shortly after.  It wasnt my fault...I got a bad batch of nanos that were known for not working.

I found my Razor scooter when I moved out of my moms house...wheels worn down and all.  I also found roller blades that were still in OK condition.

When my cousin got the chicken pox, the entire neighborhood had a sleep over at his house at one time or another.  We all got sick but were back to school in no time. Then they came out with a shot for it.  It is often seen as "child abuse" to send your kids to a pox party.

I thought Saturday morning cartoons were an American tradition.  You can still find them on some stations but it only lasts about 2 ish hours.  I remember ABCs motto..."five hours of summer once a week.  Five hours of summeeerrrrr One Saturday Morning!"  This is pretty much what got me out of bed in the morning.  After those were done, it was outside all...friggin...day.  By the way, I couldnt wait to be in 7th grade so bad so I could be like Pepper Ann and hang out like on The Weekenders.  At the same time I wish my school was like Third Street School and we had cool recess.

When I was really tiny, I truly thought that we would have flying cars by the year 2000.

But then again, I thought that world peace was coming in the near distant future as well.
Oh children.  Were so cute!

you know someones new when

Dont you hate it when a book or something youre reading starts with something then they cut to something else without finishing the sentence?  

=]

Anyway so I got at my stop at 6:40 today to catch bus one that comes around at 6:50.  Why?  Because theres this really retarded Christian girl who talks to me and is usually on the 7:05.  I dont hate her...she hasnt done anything wrong to me or has physically hurt anyone (although she does make a lot of fat jokes toward this other girl who I think is retarded...but a little less).  Both think its their way or no way (sorry no highway)...youre stupid and its wrong...its just the bigger one doesnt live it and preach it to the entire planet...nor does she take the bus.  Besides were friends likely due to familiarity...we go back to 2nd grade.

7:15...class in 15 minutes.  Nobody is here.  Why am I the only one who took early classes on Tuesday and Thursday?  FML.  Im the only one that took late classes too huh?  I wish people were here.  I have the table that everyone likes by the tree =]

Oh yeah and what I was originally talking about.  You know you have a bus driver thats new when he doesnt quite know the route.  Bus 1 (like 93 and a few other buses) has some shitty stops.  Im referring to the Myrtle stop going McClellan bound.  Yeah its hidden under some trees and cars parked around it.  I was sitting down and went flying forward.  Prior to that, we were going down Auburn and we totally almost missed the turn at College Oak...as in we were all the way in the right lane and he just kinda moved over at the last minute...blocking traffic (good thing their light stayed red to go straight).  I feel really bad for this guy...they should at least give new people a map or GPS.

So Im thinking Im allergic to Herbal Essence hair stuff.  I used it for about a week (not even fully) and now I have burns on my scalp and neck.  It could be that or this gel I havent used since I was little...but Im doubting it was the gel since I dont recall having burns from it...or even a mix of the two.  Either way Im going gel free for a while till my head recovers.
