This is what I've been up to this last month.

GUESS WHAT GUYS.
I BREATHED MATHEW MURPHY'S AIR.

Isn't he beautiful??

Yeah. I went to The Wombats concert. Sam bought us tickets and I love him. It was the single most amazing night of my life. We were up front, and I got some nifty pictures (that are actually kinda shitty 'cause they're on my phone).

Why are you so perfect?

Yeah. It was awesome. I got a part of the set list (it got all torn up when he put it in the crowd, but I got some!) and it is now framed with my ticket. I swear, guys, I think I'm in love. I'm tellin' you, it's that curly hair, always gets me.

If you don't know the Wombats, check them out. Wombats!

I've sort of learned Let's Dance to Joy Division on bass. I say sort of, 'cause I'm not that great of a bass player... And I'm no where near as good as Tord. He is a bass playing GOD.

Anyway, I also cut my hair! Look!

Short, asymmetrical, and orange!

Yeah. It took four days. But, I got it done for free! Beauty school for the wiiin.

Day one, my instructor Lyndon came up to me and just said "Today's the day" very ominously. He got really sick of my roots... Anyway, they used me as a model to review color. My other instructor, Michelle, actually did the whole thing. They had to lighten my hair in attempts to get most of the pink out, and to match my new growth to the rest of my hair. That worked fine, the pink didn't come all the way out, but it was fine for our desired result. We used a demi-permanent color (I won't post my formula, because it's ridiculously confusing) because using permanent on my scalp would probably been a bad idea. Now, the orange color took to most of my hair... But some of my hair is so fried it didn't take at all. Oh my. 

We decided to cut it and see what it looked like, but I had to go home for the day, as it was 4:30.

Day two, we tried to color it again, this time with permanent color. Again, it didn't take. Why? Oh, I'll tell you why. THERE'S NO CUTICLE ON SOME OF MY HAIR. It's so bad. T-T

Day three, IT ALL CAME OFF. We cut my hair. When strands of hair about a foot long started coming off, I sort of freaked out. But, it looks good, so I'm happy! Now it's been a couple weeks, and I'm learning how to style it, so I like it more. However, the color was still kinda iffy... But it almost looked like highlights.

Day four, Lyndon the magician found a jar of discontinued "stain" (which is basically semi-permanent color), and decided we should try that on my poor, poor hair. AND IT WORKED. Not only did it work, but it matched perfectly! He also made me a special conditioner, and now my hair looks wonderful. 

Now I can look like Misty from Pokemon if I want.

See?

Now for more Aveda news. I've successfully finished Intro, and I'm an Intro II student now! (There are six phases at Aveda. Intro, Intro II, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Salon Life. I'll probably refer to these later.) Now I've learned make up applications, waxing, tinting, manicures, and pedicures. And sometime this week (probably tomorrow) I'll have my first real client!

FUCK. I'M SO SCARED.

I will for sure be doing manicures on Saturday, but I'm not that scared for that. Nails are easy.

I HAVE TO CUT HAIR. ON SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW, SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET MAD AT ME. FUUUUCK.

I just need to chill out...

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now, this is getting long. Hopefully I'll start posting more so these don't get so ridiculous.

Here's more Wombats for you (and me) to stare at in wonderment.

God I love them.
