Hair Dye Disaster

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 17:43:24 +0100

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.

The road to adulthood is no doubt a long and complicated one. There are a few detours on the way and some of us arguably never make it there in the first place. There are those desperate to become an adult, striving to take a short cut while for others, the road seems endless.

I'm almost a perfectionist. Not quite Monica from friends, but I like things done a certain way.

'Not my best side, I'm afraid'. It's unlikely I'm reciting Fanthorpe.

Leave us kids alone

Too often am I walking down the street, through the supermarket or on a bus and I am subjected to the glares and stares of (dare I say it) old people.

Future fears

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

Sick of it

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 09:26:00 +0000

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.

Safe drive. Stay alive

It's a Friday night.
