...I thought I'd already posted this!

So I dyed my hair...And it was an adventure.

Some of you may recall, I started with blue-black, recently with blue highlights.
Then I decided, 'Hey, I want red hair.'

So I bought myself some color remover.

Oh. Crap. THAT can't be good. Maybe it's supposed to come out that way?
So I apply my red dye.
What a pretty color.

It was pretty in the box anyway. Crude. My hair is orange.
So I go buy a different dye.
This brand rocks, so I apply my 3rd box color in 3 days.

ROCK ON. I'm a red head.

Dork...

Soooo... I was on the phone, merrily chatting away, when a call came in on the other line. Not recognizing the number, I ignored it. I figured, I'll call them back when I'm done.

When I was done, I called them back. I was greeted with a cheerful "Hi Starry!"

I had no idea who I was talking to, but figured, maybe if I keep talking I'll figure it out.... Well, I didn't. I did however, agree to go bowling with her tomorrow night. Because I panic on the phone. P

Luckily, Bean, had the number in her phonebook, and it was an old highschool friend. But I am such a dork.

And now, pictures from my life :D

Once Upon A Time...

on November 2, '06, I was challenged to post 8 previously unknown facts about myself... I want to do it again!
1)I can reach one of my arms furthur behind my back than the other

2)I am glad to work multiple jobs to be able to care for the people I have taken as my family

3)I am happy again

4)I bargain shop like it's a fucking sport ;P

5)All my sheets and blankets are 300+ thread count, egyptian or pyma cotton, no blends

6)I treat 'being normal/fitting in' like it's an academic pursuit... watch others, memorize the 'appropriate' things to say and ways to act, attempt to mimic

7)I love being 'different'

8)I still have my childhood teddy bear

Now a little thought from 9-2-06,

Soooo, pretty much, I'm back :D

WOOOHOOOO

Well, my best friends and I are in our own apartment now! Its a lovely little 4 bedroom we can just barely afford. But it's totally awesome anyway!

**goes away doing the happy dance**

befuddled

so... I have a myspace. I have for years. That's just background info for the thing that's bugging me:

My ex (from OVER 2 YEARS AGO) keeps visiting it. nearly EVERY DAY.
He never messages me or anything though. I don't think he knows that I know.
It's kinda freaking me out.
Dunno what to do.

I MISS THE INTERNET

I've been away far too long! Gerard Way (you all remember, the rockstar I'm stalking?) got engaged... and then unengaged... and then kissed some 19 yr old girl from some band... and I MISSED IT ALL. Craziness.

(Well, now that I've hopefully amused the crap out of all of you ;) )

Happy b-day to me.... 8/16, I turned 21. With very little partying dammit. Designated driver at my own damn party that no one but my two best friends came to. (Some ppl had very good excuses though...0_O threats of bodily harm from crazies!)

fun with excessive time off

On a sadder note, my best friend's rat (1.5 years old), that I care for, has a large mammary tumor. She probably won't be ok.

And my hamster Oliver seems to be in a rather fragile condition, due to her age(5 years) and possible tumors (harder to tell on her).

And one of my elderly desert mice has died, and the other one is very desperate to play with anyone, something she wasn't interested in when she had a companion.

They are all very old, so none of this is unexpected, and they've had good lives, so it's not heartbreaking, but it's pretty much all that's going on right now.

Happy 4th of July.

Not te most recent videos (from May), she walks almost on her own now, but they're what's on my computer, and I wanted to try this new video upload thing. She could walk completely if she wanted to, but she's a little nervous about it still. She likes to hold on with one hand. Too cute ;)

Good Lord I Love Pirates.

Hoist the Colours High.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.

Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea–
with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high...
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never say we die.
