tl:dr
Yet again, I have big hair. Once more, I have long pigtails. Typically for the first, but unusually for the second, they're both 1. the same thing, and 2. fake.
I picked up a pair of kanekalon falls at Sally's yesterday for about $13 each, and I'm happy with them. Wearing one makes a GREAT ponytail, two in high pigtails fall just below my shoulders (curling down to collarbone-length), they're soft, they have storage boxes, and they only way they could match my hair better is to be either custom made or grown out of my head. They fasten with combs AND an elastic drawstring- I wore one to work (I work at a DAYCARE), and it didn't slip even a teensy bit, even with my hair so clean it was sliding out of the ponytail elastic I'd put it in before putting on the fall.
My only "yes but" is that these things are big. Big hair- because of how the net is that the hair and drawstring and combs are attached to, the size of the "ball" the hair descends from isn't going to change much, regardless of how much or how little hair is actually inside it. I suppose I could pin the high holy hell out of them to smush them down, but they're so bouncy and boingy... I HAVE ANIME HAIR, OKAY. XD Bouncy shiny lolitas-weep-in-doll-pretty-envy anime hair. And it amuses me a lot.
Yesterday I also got a tooth drilled, and a referral to a specialist to see if I need a root canal or two.
Imagine my joy.
Also, I appear to be the ONLY person my mother has ever heard of who gets loopy from novocaine. It's the only explanation, because poking myself in the numb cheek should not have been that funny. ^^;;
Yesterday I also got my hair cut! It's still short, and quite cute, and actually much the same as it was before, just with the bangs cut and the layer lines taken out, which was fun to watch, though I haven't decided if I like the lines better.
Yesterday I also went to target and got some "my roommate is moving out and I will have no furniture" cabinets (by-the-door dumping ground) and bathroom stuff. My shower curtain has the international bathroom people on it, demonstrating how to use a shower head and rubber duck.
Yesterday was a busy day. ^^;;
Tomorrow will also be a busy day, because 1. I have an appeal to write; 2. there are rumors of LJ replies and RPG posts that need doing; 3. I also hear rumors of birthday thank-you notes; 4. I have to register for classes; 5. I have to work; and 6. the new roommate is coming to see the place and sign the lease on Saturday, and the apartment is a disaster area. If God is merciful, she will not want to move in until old roommate has moved out and maintenance and I have had a powwow about the carpet and how it doesn't match the drapes.
Speaking of birthday... I'm 25 years old, which means I can now represent myself in time with a quarter. AWESOME. The birthday weekend was fun and busy, and also some of you were privileged to speak to me online while I was trashed, or to speak to my friend Katie online while I was trashed. I did not drunk-dial anyone using a telephone, as I was too busy giggling at the floor, the couch, the table, my margarita's blueness, and the wall outlet. Either way, a good time was had by all (I think) and there'll be more on that in another entry. ♥
