Huh.

Sometimes, I don't like updating. (I'd rather read what the actual interesting people I know have to say!) Mostly because I never think I have anything interesting to say & that I just take up space on everyone's flist. But here I am, updating anyway! ::has no self-control apparently::

♥ I'M OFF TO SEE NEIL GAIMAN IN JAPANTOWN ON OCTOBER THIRD OMGWHEE! ::squeals like the sillything she is:: I'm actually not sure if it's a proper signing or not, but even if it isn't I don't mind - NEIL GAIMAN, PEOPLE!!

(& even better is that I don't need to take my mummy, since it's during the afternoon. YAY NOT HAVING TO DRAG HER ALONG AGAIN!!)

Now the big question is OMG WHAT DO I WEEEAR? (principle-edict-rule number four of being the silly miss Sundayshape: When you know in advance that you're about to be within twenty or less feet of your idol/god/object of worship/crush/goddess/heroine/hero/inspiration, DRESS THE FUCK UP OMG. Now is NOT the time for bland dungarees & an unflattering top; make an effort & make yourself look fantastic!)

♥♥ I had a bit of a mishap with my hair recently. My hair was in desperate need of a trim, so I trimmed the ends off all neat & pretty & I shortened my bangs so that they actually looked the way they were intended to. That came out well. Then a few days later, I trimmed a bit more off one side & um, I sort of trimmed it rather shorter than the other side. So I have hair of two different lengths on each side. I'm not sure how noticeable it is, but it's probably somewhat noticeable. It's still fairly long, just . . . one side goes down my upper arm & the other one ends a little below my shoulder.

Yes, I'm aware that I probably look like a complete moron with my hair like that, but I don't want to fuck it up any more, so I'm going to let the shorter side grow out, then when both sides are long enough so that I can cut them a bit & still keep them at a nice length, I'll even them out.

Currently, I'm sort of like, 'o, whatever,' about it - I'm always ugly/unpretty/stupid looking, so what does this matter? I just look a bit worse for a time. Been there before, nothing new. & plus, it's not like I hacked my hair into David Tennant-esque spikes, so what's to be freaking out over? Hair grows back in time, nothing to panic over. Just gotta be patient & that's it.

(although if I had a figure like David's, or like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I'd actually think about doing that. Rock-pixie hair is SO pretty!)

EDIT: Just straightened my hair out & it actually isn't that dramatic a difference - maybe half an inch's difference. I could just even it out now, but I think I'll just wait to do that anyway.

♥♥♥ OMG ELISABETH SLADEN IS ON THE COVER OF THIS MONTH'S DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE OMG. I saw that the new one was out earlier this week, but I had to wait until I got my ticket before I could run off & get it. OMG LIS LOOKS LOVELY. ::flails:: My (two*) copies are on my table now, but I can't read them until November, when series four débuts on region one here in the States. PATIENCE, SUNDAY. PATIENCE.

(actually, this issue has four different covers - I just saw Lis on the cover of this set, but there are three other versions, I think - [livejournal.com profile] backinblackk, did you know Julian Bleach is on one of them? He is!)

*I usually get two copies of some magazines so that I can read one, then chop up the other one for collages & whatnot. Doctor Who magazine is one of them. Art, not just me being completely cracked in the head!

♥♥♥♥ The Four/Romana smut that hides in my bookmarks seems to have increased in quantity lately. OOPS. except not, omg why isn't there mooooore? & for that matter, where the FUCK is all the Four/Master? COME ON! I mean . . . THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT TO BE LACKING.

♥♥♥♥♥ Most go & straighten out my hair now. I'm a bit tempted to leave it all curled & wild, as it is if I don't straighten it, but then it just looks like steel wool has been curled up & been glued atop my head. So I must apply the hot ceramic & oils to make it look halfway presentable.

1. Hey Neil Gaiman sweet!
2. Japantown? Such thing exists?

Well there are hair styles like that. They usually look quite dumb unless one side is really really short to the point where it's boy-short/buzz cut and the other side is about to the chin or longer. So unless you wanna do that I'd get it fixed. XD

Hey! My hair is sort of "david tennant-esque" except I only have one mohawk and no other spikes, but I'm planning on doing that for Halloween or something. XD

I'M SO EXCITED! Neil is AWESOME in person. & INDEED IT DOES. It is a little bit of heaven on Earth here. ^_^

Hee! Yeah, I was thinking about just going through with it & taking the longer portion off the other side last night, but I'm being all indecisive about it even though I KNOW I look like a twit. But I think it'll come off in good time.

ZOMG LUCKY THING! Tennant-esque hair is SUCH a lovely thing, & I DO wish I could wear it nicely, but I look better with longer hair, I think. :P

Go with what you personally think.
Some people say I look better with longer hair some people just say "Wow your hair looks awesome, I wish I could pull off short"

And me personally I like short hair. It's easy to manage.

you are a beautiful girlthing and don't doubt yourself.

Ah, the old, "I trimmed one side of my hair shorter than the other" syndrome. I been there... several times. >.< I finally gave up and went to go get my hair cut professionally. Once, it worked out, and the second time, I asked for about four inches off and she cut about eight. So, there the rub. Does one cut one's own hair and get off the length they wanted, but risk it looking silly, or does one get their hair cut by someone who actually knows what they're but risk getting about two years worth of hair massacred?

::nibbles:: Meeep . . . I got uglier from the last time you've seen me. I SWEAR, I WAS OKAY LOOKING ONCE.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO OMG. :O I'd NORMALLY go to my hairdresser, who's pretty good at giving me a good cut (which should TOTALLY be the case - I've been going for over ten years!), but I almost never find the time to go when I need to, sadly.

It's a HARD choice, SRSLY. ::flails::

Hello, lovely!

You should post pics of your various outfits so I can see all your choices! Plus, I'm a Nosey Parker and want to know what you wearrrrrrr.

And I can't believe you had the courage to cut your own hair! I can barely bring myself to cut one or two uneven pieces, let alone whole CHUNKS. o_O

I'm always ugly/unpretty/stupid looking

LIAR.

::GLOMPS & NIBBLES:: 'ALLOOOOOO!

O, I MIGHT, but only for you! (most of my clothes other than my riverdresses just SUCK) Most of my clothes are fairly simple most days, though I DO wish I could have prettier clothes like I always want to wear. ::tickles you::

HEEEE! Well, it was pretty easy for me, since I was just taking the really obviously damaged ends + the bleached out bottom of my bangs, so I already knew what I was cutting off. Then I got cocky & anal about the ends & wound up chopping off more than I should have. CAUTIONARY TALE, YO.

BB YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A FULL SHOT OF ME. I'd scare you, honestly. :(

And, hi, what are you going on about? Silly thing, you are definately not ugly! *pokes you* I remember the girl!Simon-wear pictures and you are really pretty. So there. *snuggles*

YES, NEIL GAIMAN. ::squees all about:: IT WILL BE AN EPIC AFTERNOON, Y/Y?

O, but you haven't seen any recent shots of me! I think I've become uglier since the girl!Simon pictures were taken. :(
