Good thing, bad thing...

[deathpixie]

Good thing: Today is [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s birthday! *muppetflails*

Bad thing: The subway sucks. It took nearly an hour to get to work today, which means I'll have to stay later.

Good thing: My hair looks fantastic today. And has done for a week now.

Bad thing: The red has faded out. *pouts*

Good thing: It's Friday! And [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is crashing at our place tonight!

Bad thing: Still a bit nauseous. Stupid Fred.

Good thing: Death to the funk!

Aww. I heard that while blonde is the abscence of colour, red is ALL COLOUR, so it makes sense that it fades super quick. Do you wash your hair every day? I had to go to washing mine every other, but that was more because my hair is THICK and UNRULY and FLUFFY. But it helped the red at the same time and my hair dye is in the mail.

Omg, there's a Benway and no one said so? I am hurt. And... stuff. And-

LET'S GO MAKE SNOW ANGELS!!!

When I went red, it lasted FOR FREAKIN EVER. I had red hair for like, years. It was crazy.

[ferox.livejournal.com]

You know, I've heard that too! I know getting red out of hair when you WANT it to go away (like red to blonde) is redonkulous.

Red is weird. Or EVIL. Etc.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

It was NUTS. Totally crazy.

[deathpixie]

I have to wash my hair every day, otherwise it's greasy and limp and gross by the end of the day, thus the fading for me. Ah well. Maybe I can do it again this weekend?

[ferox.livejournal.com]

*nod* Makes sense, R's hair is the same way. One thing I did find is that it helped right after I dyed my hair to not wash it for three days: colour on Monday, wash on Thursday. I know that's super tough, with what you just said re: grease, but if you plan it in advance and take advantage of pigtails, talcum powder and hats?

Uhm.

/not helpful, blathering.

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

You can wash, just not shampoo? Er. That's what I did when I went red.

[deathpixie]

I was washing with just condtioner every second day after I did it, since the dye was a bit harsh?

But yeah, three days? *shudders* I've done that before when I've gone hiking, and there's much ick and cranky. Not washing my hair makes my face feel dirty, if that makes sense?

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

Mine too. We have the same kind of hair, it's very very fine. Maybe use just an eensy ammount of shampoo?

[deathpixie]

Yeah, that's pretty much it. And I should probably get the colour retention stuff as well. They need to make anti-frizz colour hold shampoo, I swear. That way I'll get everything I need!

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

but see, they want you spend lots ofmoney, and if they did that, then you wouldn't spend as much. I know there's some tricks to keep the color longer, but I just don't know them. Adding splenda to the dye is when you're bleaching and you don't want chemical burns.

[deathpixie]

Bastards. :P Ah well, I shall just dye every couple of months. It's at least a nice rich-looking brown right now, instead of the washed-out blonde-ish brown it was before. And the cut is still good and looks fantastic and the stylist taught me how to dry it properly so it doesn't look blah!

(I'm such a dork)

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

Nah! Taking care of oneself and pampering oneself and making yourself pretty are one of life's great pleasures.

[technophobia.livejournal.com]

It makes total sense to me. I have to wash my hair every day otherwise I feel GROSS. I can manage to go one day without shaving if I'm lounging around, but anything past that makes me feel disgusting too.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Same here, and I have crazy thick masses of hair. But if I don't wash it every day? INSANE FRITO. I start trying to claw off my scalp.

[deathpixie]

Must be a pain in winter to dry... That's one thing I had to start doing in Canada, was making sure my hair was at least mostly dry by the time I left the house in the morning, since below freezing temperatures + wet hair = OMG OW BAD!

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Usually. It's why when I was living in DC, I'd shower at night during the winter. I'd have some spectacular bed-head in the morning. (To illustrate - Jen came out of her room once and exclaimed "AUGH! You have Mel hair!") but I didn't die of COLD.

It's warm and dry enough here that I can just let it air dry.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

*dryly* Ha.

(Today is a brilliant case of Mel Hair and I having it bound and restrained)

[deathpixie]

We kind of forgot until yesterday? *meeps* Brain go boom badly this week, especially with the Fred attack yesterday. :(

But yes, Benway. Don't know when he's getting in or how long he's staying, though. I can call?

[ferox.livejournal.com]

I'm totally joking, bunny. You can tell from the way I exploded in angels. *noserubs* I understand how life can get, hm?

I never get to really speak with him during the summer, so I'd love to sneak in at one point, if that is being okay. That, and I am so sick of drugs and sleeping right now, you have no idea...

"WHAT CAN I DO TODAY!?! ...right, nothing, I can't move."

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

...the cats. they are STARING AT ME.

[ferox.livejournal.com]

THEY WANT YOUR SOOOOOUL!

[deathpixie]

Or possibly your nose. Those are tasty. ;)

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

They can have my nose as long as they take all the snot too. It's all runny.

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Mmmnose.

[deathpixie]

With my two? Entirely likely they would. They like eating used q-tips. *icks*

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

Are they kitties or goats?

[deathpixie]

They're weird, is what they are. Angel's taken to eating plastic, which means occasionally I get kitty puke to clean up. :P

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

Man, you should have just adopted sheep. That way they'd eat the weird stuff, but you'd also get wool for sweaters.


That's it! Next time they do something, threaten to make sweaters out of them. :D

[ferox.livejournal.com]

They've already threatened mittens and moccassins... apparently not working so much.

"We bring you q-tips because we looooove you!"

[deathpixie]

Ugh, at this stage I'm almost missing the eviscerated frogs Artie used to leave on the doorstep for me...

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Has the new wastebasket not been deterring them quite as much as hoped?

[deathpixie]

It is, I think. They're still not allowed in the bathroom 'cause of the toilet paper issue, but the new basket slows them down a bit at least.

I've also taken to splashing a handful of water on them when they start nosing around it. 'Cause I am a meanie.

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

They should shave one of them. Just to put the fear of god into them. Julio shaving Kyle's cat? BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

Wear gardening gloves and a welder's jacket. >.>

[deathpixie]

Dex already threatens to turn them into mittens. Or stew. Or possibly both. Still, they get Benway to chew on tonight!

*snickers* So tempted to get a pic if there is Banway-glomping by the cats, and make my own lolcat... "I can has X-Manson now plz?"

[deathpixie]

I'll text when we head to the pub. Let your roomie know too?

[ferox.livejournal.com]

(is this being okay? i can understand wanting a benway to self. we could catch him later in weekend if he stays or laterlater if not ororor. that thing.)

[deathpixie]

It's being fine - roomie said last night to let Rach know, and I'm sure he'd put up with seeing you, somehow. ;) And like I said, not sure how long we have the Benway for - I think it's just for the night, since he's driving back to the far eastern place for work on Monday.

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Oki. Didn't want to intrude, you know? Sometimes is nice to have someone to yourself, and I get that, and I like you.

I will let her know when she gets home; she has been doing the feeding of Ella, going to York thing all this week, am SO PROUD, yo.

(I will be the dopey redhead who may bring her hot waterbottle. uhm.)

Also, now I want a burger. DAMMIT.

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

Oh god now she's staring at me! AHHHHHHHHHH

[deathpixie]

Like this?

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

can't sleep, icons will eat me...

[deathpixie]

*eg*

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thank you! (for the wishes and the fic and the paid account. I can upload more icons now! Whee! I have a glut of icons, it's crazy)

[deathpixie]

You're very welcome. :D And we figured paid account would give you space for the icons we knew people were probably going to make. ;)
