Hair Dye Disaster

5:43pm Sunday 7th September 2008

I'd been the blonde haired blue eyed girl for as long as I could remember. Though I liked my fair features, being blonde was getting a bit old. I'd never really experimented extremely with my hair, give or take some layering, a bad packet of blonde hair dye not dissimilar to my own colour and a few highlights. My mother never supported my desire to dye my hair brown, but when she went out of the country I saw it as an opportunity to do something I'd wanted to do since I was in Year Ten. I hate to say it, but maybe Mum did know best.

In some ways I feel like I have it all figured out.

Sick of it

9:26am Monday 17th December 2007

It's a Thursday evening. I've had a bad day. I retreat to my bathroom, lock the door, pull my hair back, stick my fingers down my throat and empty the contents of my stomach.
