Aww, thanks for the welcome! You're too sweet, you know that?
I've been snooping around here (because I don't know when to put myself to bed, obviously!) and I see a lot of vintage t-shirt icons of shirts I recognize. I am so coming back here tomorrow or Sunday and seeing if you have any of shirts I have bought from those websites! That would be so cool to have an icon of one of my sarcastic tees. XD
That would be neat, wouldn't it? I have two T-shirts from ThinkGeek, but I haven't iconned them because it hadn't occurred to me... but now it has and I must icon more T-shirts. Thanks for the idea! And thanks for commenting!
I have several shirts from Palmer Cash, Tshirt Hell, and Busted Tees, because when I was a bartender I was "the girl with the funny shirts...you know the one who changes her hair color every other week! What's her name again?" Yeah. That was me.
Nice. I wish I could do that. I'd love to go deep, rich, obviously-artificial red, but I also want paralegal work while Chris is gone, so...
And once I can afford to, and once I diet into those kind of shirts again (the girls make me a plus-size, and most of those sites only go to a rather small XL in babydoll tees), I'm going to get a bunch of them...
Oh, Lord....I was a "readhead" for years and I loved it. I miss it, honestly, but my hair is so damaged at this point that it wasn't holding red well anymore and it seemed like I had to redo it every other week or it became brassy. So I switched to black for awhile. Now, I want to go back to red, but can't afford to get my hair stripped, which is probably a good thing.
I'm waiting for my hair to grow out so that the next time I go red, it'll be on all new groth, and it'll all be the same shade, instead of bright red at the roots and dull auburn for the rest.
I want to grow mine out now, but the brown roots with the black looks awful. That's why I want to get it stripped and then go brown, so I can go awhile between colorings to let it heal, and it won't be as noticeable.
Then again, I don't remember how dark of a brown my hair color is naturally (does that tell you anything about my excessive dyeing?) so I might still look strange. especially once the grey starts showing. Oy.
I had the same problem each time I went back to blonde. I was born white-blonde (think Jonny Quest TRA), but it's faded to a dishwater blonde. Now it's almost auburn, like I belatedly inherited some of my mom's red.
When I was in high school, a hair stylist said I wouldn't get gray hairs, I'd get white hairs. That'd be great, less noticeable and all, IF I'd stayed white-blonde.
I started going grey at 13, which I really don't mind. I joke about it a lot and pretend like it bothers me (certain areas that are going grey bother me, but not as a whole), but I really don't care so much. I just wish I had naturally black hair with grey threading through it. My brown is (if I remember correctly) a dull, mousy, dishwater brown, and grey in that just makes it look even duller than it already did. Which is a big part of why I've been dying my hair for nearly 13 years.
Is it a family thing for Anderson? I'm not aware. I don't know much about him. Mine is a family thing, though I joke often and say it's stress because I had never noticed any greys until we were homeless. Then, it was kind of a running joke with my family and I.
I don't know if it is or not. Light light blonde that fades to dark runs in my dad's side of the family (Swedish blondes), and combined with my mom's Viking red I got a pretty nice auburn...
I had never noticed any greys until we were homeless.
Well, that would certainly explain it. My ex Dayne had been homeless, and I could never convince him that he'd always have a place to sleep with me (even if all I could offer was my car), and it was never far from his mind, even as we rented a house together, but I won't pretend to understand what he (and you and your family) went through.
One of my family's running jokes is that my dad will pretend to forget my name or that of my brother or half-sisters, and will instead point to one of us and say "Hey you funny lookin'."
Hahaha, your dad sounds funny. My mom doesn't "pretend" to forget mine and my sisters names, but she does call us her sisters names a lot. She's the oldest of 5, and she called my older sister the 2nd daughters name, and me the 3rd daughters name. And she doesn't realize she's doing it until we tell her.
Honestly, I can't always tell if he forgets or not. He's basically a big kid who only acts like a grown-up when he has to. I'm his firstborn and he FINALLY remembers my birthday.
My parents have four siblings each. On my mom's side: Barbara, Karen, Cindy (her), Valerie, Mark. And she said that sometimes my Granny would be yelling for one and it'd come out "B--K--C--V--MARK!"

Which is why I think I'll go brown next for a little bit. Dark brown, but still brown. Maybe throw a little auburn in there later, just for fun.

How very Anderson Cooper of you. ;)

Yeah, that always looks nice.

Got it.
