hair factory
I turned this:
 
into this:
 
today.
There's like 6 different colours in her hair. Combination of solids, transitionals, and two twisted ones. Took about 5 & 1/2 hours of distracted backcombing, about the same of steaming [including burning my leg with boiling water], and approx. 2 & 1/2 hours of installation.
Sticking your head over a steaming kettle for several hours on an already sweltering day is not my idea of a good time, but in the end I'm happy, and she's happy, so it's all happy.

Apparently I'm 22 now because apparently it was my birthday last night, according to two rather charming drunk old men I met deep in the southwest at some local pub my friend's band was playing at. Also, 36 year old Scottish fellow tried to convince me to go home with him, which was mildly amusing in of itself, but then when friend and I were about to drive away in a cab to go back to my place and watch The Last Unicorn, Scottish man's chick friend runs up and is all, "Do you want Mike to come with you??" and I'm like, "No?" Who does that?
All in all, drunk older than me people are a pretty good party, Scottish people have awesome accents, and my friend's band is a lot of fun.
I was discussing tattoos with a guy who apparently hung out with The Doors and his lady had this wicked tattoo on her shoulder blade, still peeling. He had a tattoo older than I am.
And then Friend and I came back to my place & drank rum [bad idea] & I cooked us dinner at like 4 in the morning & then we passed out on my couch watching The Last Unicorn. [Next weekend, Labyrinth!]
Also, it's really frustrating when you cut someone's hair so it looks really awesome styled in certain ways and they don't do anything with it so it just looks lame. I mean, it's their hair right, but he told me he was wanting to style his hair more, so I cut it in this really fun way so he looked like a crazy professor [Awesome!!!] and then last night he was all, "Yeah I just wear hats cos it's at an awkward growing out length" and I'm like "......That's. What. You. Wanted. If you styled it it wouldn't look lame!" Arg. Starting to realize why stylists just ignore what people ask for, because they don't actually know what they want most of the time and they're never satisfied. There's always gotta be something.
Anywho, I'm off to le bar to meet ex-coworkers. Should be interesting?

So, my computer has decided to be a little bitch and not allow me to do my homework on account of it not playing any of the dvds I need to watch, so I'm looking at friends who live nearby with working dvd players to host me for a couple of hours after work so I can watch these freaking things. [I'm looking at you, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) corpus_dilecti, cos you live closest and are usually home. Plus everyone else is annoying.]
Pretty please?

har har hair
Video from Crimson [the fetish show I was in a while back, for you out-of-towners]
Also, I just created a makeshift portfolio for the hair stuff I've done, so do check that out. If you're interested in booking an appointment avec moi, let me know!
Speaking of hair, I completed my first wig alteration tonight and considering how out of it I am, I'm pretty pleased with the result. It's for a scene in a film called Time to Kill...I'm going to be an extra in this fantasy ballroom scene tomorrow after work, as well as helping out with hair touch ups.
That and I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight at all, so it's going to be an interesting day. Hopefully I'll last long enough to make it out to Datalink for a bit as well....

why do I talk to people again?
So there's this guy who started talking to me on msn awhile ago, who works at a liquor store near my place. Usually I'm polite, but very short with random people on the internet who come out of the blue, because they're usually all interested in the same thing. Anyway, I decided to try talking to this guy, cos hey, maybe he's different from the rest. You never know.
So, he seems nice enough and he's not hitting on me, just wants to be friends or whatever, so that's cool. And hey, it's always nice having a contact at a liquor store, yeah? But the guy fucking bombards me with questions whenever he talks to me and when we made plans to hang out, he sent me at least a message a day leading up to the day asking if I was still up for hanging out, which irritated me to the point that I cancelled plans, also because I was exhausted after school that day.
So he still constantly sends me messages, and I've gotten into the habit of ignoring them because I don't feel like answering a million questions and I'm usually in the middle of something to begin with. He started talking to me on msn tonight, and I finally told him it was annoying, and so then he was like, "well, what do you want to talk about?" so I blocked him.
He signs on with a different address and sends me this lovely message:
listen this is g_____, you blocked me , was it too hard for you to say that you dont find me interested enough to be friends? what the hell you think of yourself in any case, you yourself are too boring, you never talk in any case atleast i was trying to make a conversation, you just always quite and whenever i tried to call you or text you , you simply ignored me, just tell me what klinda person you are, someone who think too highly of yourself, now listen me will block you delete you from facebook too and never go to india again if you hate indians that much, you racist, good bye
I'm sorry? Just because I find you to be one of the most annoying people I've ever met, all of a sudden I'm racist. Despite the fact that I've been to Africa, India, and the Carribean, and I have an Indian name. I shouldn't even be wasting my time on this, but I'm really annoyed. Not to mention I'm going to have to avoid that liquor store now. Why are people so fucking ARRRGGHHH

What Sarala Means
|
You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

No more school for me lalalala
Also, two good shows, celebrations and cheap drinks tomorrow, and a good waxin' have made up for the shitty points of this week.
My arms have no hair on them. It's kinda really weird. Don't think I'll be doing that again, but it was cool to try.

I fear exactly 30, but I also fear counselling
if you get more than 30, then counseling is strongly recommended!
If you get more than 20 you're paranoid.
If you get 10-20 then you are normal.
If you get 10 or less you're fearless.

good news
I GOT THE JOB! Michel is super eccentric and has a lazy eye, but he says what I've been wanting to hear and I'm soso excited to be working under him. Now I just need to practice the new foil techniques he taught me and learn how to use my effing round brushes.
Also, turns out he's going to be in Europe pretty much exactly when I would have to leave for Burning Man, so I can probably do both! That, and he's okay with the fact that I'm going to be gone for the month of September because of my sister, which is the other thing I was worried about.
All my plans seemed to be in such disarray, but now it seems like everything's coming together. I'm sloowly getting my apartment together, I have a job and trips and everything mostly planned....The negative people in my life are gradually being weeded out and positive, lovely people are being introduced in....Even my loneliness situation seems to be resolving itself.
Now I just need to figure out camping and transportation for Burning Man, and if it's still a go for sure, and get some furniture for my place. And a doormat, because that seems to be the new thing in my hallway, so I want to get a really cool one to show up the other ones, because it was totally my idea first and they stole it, so I'm gonna show 'em how it's done! :P

"Once again we face a paradox, for it appears that softening your heart
and gently tending its wounds _will protect you from evil. Building a
fortress and defending yourself behind it will only make you more
vulnerable. Healing your own heart is the single _most powerful thing you
can do to change the world. Your own transformation will enable you to
withdraw _so completely from evil that you contribute to it by not one
word, one thought, or one breath."
- Deepak Chopra, The Deeper Wound Recovering the Soul from Fear and Suffering

smoking and stupid fears
corpus_dilecti, where did you hear that Billy Idol was playing at Stampede? Cos I can't find it anywhere. :(
I quit smoking yesterday at around 6:30 in the morning. So far, since then, I've cheated twice, but for the most part it's going okay. So if I'm super-fidgety and occasionally bitchy for the next little while, I'm sorry in advance. I'm gonna try really hard not to be, but who knows. Last time I quit, I was in Africa under very different circumstances, so I'm not sure how this will go.
I tried this nicotine gum my friend gave me and not only did I have to get the package open with a knife, but it tastes like nothing and irritates my teeth. So that's pretty much not happening. I'd rather be twitchy.
This is a tiny clip of the jazz show I went to last Thursday. Tell me that guy's not fucking cool.
Oookay...So there's a weird clicking, chirping sound coming from the general direction of across the alleyway and the bedroom light started flickering in unison for awhile, and I got so scared I had to call dj_dandroid [cos he's the only person I knew was awake and not at work] to calm me down. Talking about scooters and camo booty shorts almost did the trick, but then the guy who always smokes in the alley freaked me out again when he horked randomly, as he tends to do. [He's going to be great inspiration for quitting.]
This is one of the main drawbacks of living alone. I need someone who lives nearby that will come over and tuck me in so I'm not constantly lying awake in fear.

good day
I almost slept through school today, but luckily Stephie called me like 5 times and managed to rouse me from bed & I actually made it on time. I thought it was going to be a terrible day cos my bag strap broke on the way to school [Well, actually a piece of the bag that the strap was attached too just shredded off, but the effect was the same...I think it's time to get a new bag, maybe.] and then I found out I was booked 3 haircuts in a row & they weren't children, as previously thought. But luckily they were nice girls and two of them wanted one of my favourite haircuts and they all had beautiful hair. And, I finished ahead of schedule! :)
After lunch, I ran over to 17th to meet with a stylist John had referred me to. I was a bit sketchy about it, because I greatly dislike John and I wasn't really prepared for a meeting, but he sounds pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. He's an affiliate of 5 of the best schools in the states and used to work with the Vidal Sassoon school in London. Been doing hair for over 30 years and he got into it to "create hairstylists". He told me that girls come to him, he teaches them everything he possibly can, and then they go off to become artists. Also, he drove me back to school so I'd be on time for my last client.
I have to do a head of foils for him so he can see if I'm good enough for him to spend time on me, and if I can do that, then I have to do a haircut [a-line bob]. So I'm going to need models for those...Anyone interested?
I have this big urge to give John a freaking hug. I'm nervous about having Michel [the stylist] evaluate me, but John's seen what I can do and I don't think he'd refer me to this guy if he didn't think I could cut it [no pun intended], unless he was trying to screw me over in some way, but I don't think he'd dare try, because I'd murder him.
*squee*
Oh, and my last cut of the day was this solid asymmetrical extreme diagonal forward dealie and while it was tricky, it looked amazing and it was really fun to do. It's funny, cos usually you're trying soo hard to make sure both sides are the same angle and length, but this one was two separate angles and lengths. Freaking sweet!
Okay, I'll stop talking about hair now.
So. Freaking. Excited!

So....I don't know how else to say this, but I'm actually a weird stalker person, and there's this really boring guy who lives across the ally from me I watch all the time, mostly just because he's a constant and I like to wonder what the pictures he has on his walls are of. Anyway, I was sitting out on my balcony with Stephie, explaining to her how I watch this guy who never looks out his window and is always on the computer, and not only does he come out onto his balcony, but he started taking pictures. In our general direction.
And then he proceeded to act crazier than I've ever seen him act since I moved in last fall.
It is the weirdest sensation to be watching a complete stranger and having them randomly possibly take a picture of you. My alleyway just got creepy on a whole new level.
Cities are so fucking weird.

Oh yeah, happy Friday 13th, guys. [Thanks for reminding me, ragdoll_suicide].
And uh, really....interesting photos of an ovary releasing an egg here. Some of the comments are pretty interesting as well.
Also, I have a leave from school for the next 4 days [not including weekend], so if anyone wants to make something for my wall, that'd be really cool, cos the place is pretty much bare these days. [I also need kitchen utensils...like pots...and forks.]
Going to see LSD for the first time with sarafina_kaine and possibly Daniel tonight. Should be a good time. Nothing like hangin' out with a bunch of people wearing black on Friday the 13th :P
