It's a good look for you. Give it a couple more days for you to get used to it and I think you'll appreciate it more.

Serps, you've somehow managed to stumble upon my ideal for beauty in female hair.

You know, I keep reading this thread, and I keep wanting to share, but...

A) I have no camera; and
*
Z) I really, really don't like the way I look currently.

Oh well. I just wanted to stop by and compliment Serp's hair! And to say that a lot of you are really pretty . Keep up the good work!

* Some additional reasons may or may not go here...

Granted, I didn't realize it was my ideal until I got that second, better look at it.

I've had a pretty unawesome couple of months since geting back from Europe. So to cheer myself up, I dyed my hair.

before
Spoiler

after
Spoiler

though that top picture was taken when i was in Stuttgart, Germany, and I'd very happily not gave cool green hair if it meant i was back in Deutschland with mein Kaninchen.
plus a bonus picture of Kali, because it was his 6th hatchday on the 5th

That was awesome. xD

So, I tried to dye my hair last week. From brown to coppery-reddish-brown. It didn't work well IMO, but here is a photograph of a mirror anyway.

That's a digital camera, right? With the view screen that takes up most of the back?

If so, I find that holding it the other way around and lining up the shot using the reflection of the view screen in the mirror helps cut down on the blurriness, especially with about a half dozen different takes for QA purposes.

it's a Gwyn! Hi! thank you. Yeah, i have a habit of getting distracted by shiny things and wandering off for like a year... or more...

Serpy! I have frustratingly (to other people) compliant hair when it comes to dying... well, most of the time... it balances out sometimes when it completely and utterly rejects all dye, like the time we used FIVE packs of black hair dye on my hair and my hair didn't even go black...
But how i achieved this current hair? dyed the hell out of it for about 2 years, first crazy colours, then just different shades of black, then let it grow out for like 18 months, then on a whim yesterday i threw half a tub of Arctic Green Directions on it (directions is the most staining brand of dye i've ever used, never fails me). And done. I've been dying other people's hair since i was like 13 or something though and my own hair for the last 5 or so, i have have dying skills.

You guys may have noticed the thread I posted in the friendly banter about the challenge of trying to eat 4 pounds of burrito in 30 minutes? Well, sadly I didn't make the challenge, but I did eat half of it in 15 minutes. I decided since it was still a picture of me, I'd show the before picture so you can see the size of this burrito.

I am somewhere in this very spiritful photo! I've posted one photo from this same event before, but I only just found the huge group picture!

Spoiler


Just a random pre-going-out photo.

Spoiler


And this is what we went out to do that night: KARAOKE BAR. We sung Bohemian Rhapsody. It was awesome.
Spoiler


We had a coffee-house talent show kinda thing one night, I played a few songs really badly.
Spoiler


There were lots of people there
Spoiler


Went back to Toronto for Thanksgiving weekend. Partied with my old friends. We built a big fire.
Spoiler


And there's a big story involving this last photo. This was the day before I left for Thanksgiving. It was... quite an adventure, and a tick off my bucket list.
