emma is in town this week from the uk. which means i'm not accessing my email at work these days.
i knit my dad a toque and gave it to him yesterday. it was too big and he laughed at it. he's not very good at accepting gifts, but i didn't think he'd be anything other than proud to accept a knitted hat. i'm kind of sad about it. plus, brendan's isn't warm enough, or long enough or something. he says it's his favourite thing ever, but i'm disappointed that i didn't truly succeed.
the time change is pretty awesome. it's like a reset button has been pushed and i'm so pumped. how wonderful. daylights saving time is good after all.
i'm feeling good physically. i think the exercise is starting to work. i'm being careful to not over-eat and i'm doing more cardio. i felt less folded over when sitting today, and my pants didn't feel tight EVEN THOUGH i just washed them! hooray!
i'm thinking about adding some colour to my hair. now that i have bangs. i don't really know how to do it. i was inspired by this photo of ani. i figure i'd need to take out some of my brown first. any suggestions? i don't want it to be all of bangs, just the tips and i want it to be gradual. advise would be appreciated.
oh, speaking of hair... i figured the whole poofy hair business. i was using TOO MUCH conditioner. yesterday i just used the size of a quarter and it turned out exactly the way i wanted :D
the gravity of duties
or the ground speed of joy?

Yup, you should definitely bleach to remove colour before adding the colour you want. If I were doing it to myself, I'd just glop the bleach on the parts I wanted a different colour using my fingers and then wrap them up in tin foil for the processing time to avoid the bleach touching the hair you don't want changed. Do the same thing with the colour a day or two later.
But please, don't hold me responsible if you follow my advice and it doesn't turn out! :)
That looks so cool!!!
yeah... it's tricky to get the bleach to do a gradual fade. maybe try apply to the very tips, then after a few minutes apply a bit higher up and so on for as many gradations as you want. also, bleach the tips really pale, especially if you want to use a colour unrelated to your natural colour. anything in the blue range needs to go on almost white hair to turn out really well.
