I spent four freaking hours at deLoux Cosmetology, a beauty college in which people go to college to learn about beauty. And they do really cheap hair-related stuff, because if they screw up there&#8217;s no liability, and their grade depends on it.<\/p>\n<p>I came in asking for white hair. Well, as some may know, that&#8217;s not exactly possible for most people. So I settled for what really is &#8220;platinum&#8221;: really, really light blond. The operation started off the way it usually did. They thoroughly paint my hair with blue stuff, leave it in under a heat dryer for half an hour, then wash it out. I was F3WL enough to say that the result wasn&#8217;t light enough.<\/p>\n<p>So there went another hour of hair painting, drying, and washing. Near the very end, my scalp sorta started to tingle. It&#8217;s the bleach&#8230; by this point, any normal person would be in a lot of pain. I decided not to push my luck, and was about to say that my hair was bright enough, when&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>HMM, says miss instructor lady. NOT LIGHT ENOUGH. YOU GET AN F. So they apply another coat. I&#8217;m put in the dryer for ANOTHER 30 minutes&#8230; and this time it hurts.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, how it hurts.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine my scalp. Ripped from my skull and sewn back on. Vegetables have been quickly minced on it by a master chef with a big knife. It has been rinsed with gasoline and ignited with a blow torch. It has then been placed under a falling truck filled with blue ice packs.<\/p>\n<p>I beared it for 30 minutes under that dryer, squirming, wincing, groping myself, trying to find any method possible of not screaming like I did at the<\/p>\n<p>CONCERT YESTERDAY!! At the Oasis, otherwise known as the MIYO Teen Center, where <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.digiquest.org\">Digiquest<\/a> is, where <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.bouncy-fish.com\">Bryan<\/a> worked. It&#8217;s a bi-weekly thing, and I wrote about it before, and I&#8217;ll be going to it much more after this, but I might as well mention the highlights.<\/p>\n<p>Or start off with the BAD PARTS like James coming. Damn, he ruined the whole party. And 80&#8217;s and Jeff and Felix and Steve and Nessa and Simeon and Hannah and Bryan and Adam and that guy who looks like Jay, oh my.<\/p>\n<p>I slept with Hannah. Seriously. She told me to say that but oh is it true. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>And I also tried Pepsi <font COLOR=\"blue\">Blue<\/font> and my life is complete. It shouldn&#8217;t be called Pepsi, but it tastes good. A little more like Mountain Dew, come to think of it. Maybe it should have been called &#8220;Mountain Dew Deep Blue,&#8221; or even better, &#8220;Mountain Dew: Blue One.&#8221; (If anyone understands that joke, including James who forgot it by now, I will send you a really big smiley face through email.)<\/p>\n<p>I lost Xanadu and Have You Never Been Mellow. Damn you, Olivia. Your songs are so hard. (I&#8217;m freaking serious, I lost those two.)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and tonight I went to the weekly Meeting of Old People at my temple. My mom and I went there to greet the Jewish high holidays. They&#8217;re nice guys. We waved. And sang stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s that. I guess I&#8217;ll be seeing you around, if you&#8217;re there later. Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MILES. VID. HAIR. Today was a good day.
