Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Again)

Yes yes I am finally red again! Red and short-haired!!! It’s like a rebirth or something! 😀 Pic here (Facebook) if you’re interested, but it’s really not that different from all the previous reds and shorthaireds. :))

I had to be super-careful with my ears but it turned out ok. Man that Schwarzkopf colour fucking burns tho! It’s way worse than the (theoretically much more aggressive) L’Oréal bleach. I used to think it’s because the bleach has already sensitized the skin, but that can’t be it cuz I put bleach on twice and that wasn’t a problem, and then that Schwarzkopf dye – LIKE FIRE RAGING ON MY SKULL!!! It subsides after a while but still. Next time I will go to the L’Oréal hairdresser and get that awesome colour again. That was totally the best colour ever, and lasted for ages too! Maybe for July / August (Placebo, MJ, Pride…).

Enough about my hair. Today I had a slore. She came to see my flat and she liked it, which pleases me muchly. It always makes me happy when people like my flat, probably cuz it’s so very me, so approval of my flat = approval of me. 🙂 [btw here pic of wall stickers] Then we went to the Marina, we walked aaaall the way there and all the way around it. We didn’t find a Sunday market tho, just a more touristy one that will be there throughout April. So no bike. Oh well. Probably best to wait until after Norway now anyway. But then I will get a bike!!! *ahem*

I had a very fun day tho and it shall be repeated soon, yes yes. I am yet to see her flat cuz allegedly it was not tidy enough for a visit. Also she has to proofread an essay for a friend (why does that sound so familiar?) so had to leave quite early.

I have not done much reading, you know (don’t you), that book for that Brighton Festival Event we’re going to. Antje texted me Saturday lunchtime to tell me she’d finished it, I’d only just started at that point. :)) I wish I read more, I am so easily distracted by – oh shiny Internet! – and also that evil iPhone which occupies all my time in bed that I used to spend reading.

Yeah, and now the week-end’s over again. I have to catch Rita at some point, I’ve told Alisdair they can stay at my flat next week-end when they’re down for the Stonewall Equality Walk and I need to get the keys to him somehow. I think I might prefer putting them in the post tho or is that unsafe? Well I need to get them off Rita anyway. I do hope there will be no smashed picture frames. :)) 😐

Btw on the topic of anti-gay bullying (Stonewall you know), see this recent thread on Metafilter. The chosen title “April Harvest” is quite chilling (the links are about three separate boys who killed themselves as a result of homophobic bullying). Many of the commenters tell harrowing stories from their own high-school days (the average age on Mefi is above mine). It appears it hasn’t improved much since. At all. Blah.
