Sadly my current bathroom is just not good for haircut photos like my last one was; I think it’s the puke-yellow colour. I don’t know wtf people were thinking in the 60s that this was a good colour for bathrooms. Certainly it does not work with my complexion, plus there’s also the fact that the door is the same colour as what I dyed my hair (i.e. they weren’t thinking ahead enough 40 years ago).
I got foils in (which is normal) and for the first time I got a toner, which for you guys who don’t do this sort of thing is this semi-permanent all-over colour you put in. Supposedly the colour (“Mango”) will wash out in a month and I’ll wonder if that was worth $20.
I also got some long bangs put in for the first time in years; my stylist in Vancouver refused to give me those but the person I’m seeing here (at some random salon in the mall) isn’t such a bully. I don’t think men understand what it’s like to have a high-end stylist; they refuse to let you do anything they think will look stupid, and will fight you on other minor points like length and colour. I suppose that’s good, in a way, but I wanted bangs, damnit! Now that my hair no longer looks like this photo (it’s naturally wavy) the bangs spring up and I can actually see where I’m going without having to pin my hair back. In other words, I’m less likely to trip over my cat when I have to go pee in the middle of the night. Obviously this is important.
In other news I’ll be in Vancouver this Friday through Sunday to remember what friends I have and go do things I can’t do in Kelowna (1. visit Apple Store/H&M/Sephoras, 2. eat inexpensive sushi, 3. watch people rush around like crazy fucks). I haven’t made many plans to see friends, though, because I’ve been preoccupied with work and my life here. It’s sad that I haven’t set up a gathering or something, but it’s hard to gauge interest in that sort of thing because I’m kind of drifting away from my former life to some extent. I can’t believe that as a born-and-raised Vancouverite I have only gone home once since I moved here in August, and that was Labour Day weekend, nearly 3 months ago. Mind you I would’ve gone earlier this month but I was in the middle of some crazy projects which I’d assumed would be over by this week but aren’t, but who cares, I’m going anyways.
i like both you and sushi, you know, if you’re, like, wanting to, you know, like, do stuff.
@heather Us plus sushi might be too awesome. Didn’t you end up in hospital right after last time?
While I would love to see you this weekend, we have plans on Saturday night and I will be studying every second that I can spare.
Boo.
