Next day, easy on the shampoo and heavy on the conditioner.
Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Cool.
Usually I wait two or three, but I need to look decent today. I'll go for light 'poo
Sometimes, I just wet my hair in the shower (the way I would when I wash it) the day after coloring. No shampoo and no conditioner.
Yeah, I do that as well, Cindy. Well, except I still use conditioner. Not a lot, but I'm a conditioner whore.
"What? I was being funny!"Heh!
I just wash whenever. But my hair was great with color before there started to be grays in it and those react differently so I guess I need to learn new tricks now.
Okay, must shower so that mom and I can be ready to go meet the uncle and uncle in law to dawdle in the Portland Museum of Art today. Mummies! And fun people I am related to! Hopefully light on the rest of the people though. Turns out I am less of a fan of those kind of people.
Also? Might snow. THE FUCK? I am making sure that I have no reason to need to leave the house after today until this threat of a frozen world is over.
I've got an almost Bonnie Raitt thing going on, with my greys. Mostly, my hair is still dark, and there's the occasional strand, but I can tell from the roots (which are way overdue) that isn't the case with my bangs. I'm tempted to let the color grow out, but I don't think I could take the getting-there part of the process.
I thought I found a few grays last night, but it was just the way the light was hitting. We don't go grey until prettylate in my family, though. I think my grandmother was about 60 when hers started changing.
My mom was fully grey at 20. My dad was bald at 30. I count myself lucky to only have a few white hairs at almost-40. They are pure white, which is cool, but I wish they were all together for the Rogue-style blaze.

I found out yesterday that a childhood friend of mine killed himself last month. I'm having trouble dealing with it. I mean, he was a fucked up kid, but the last time I saw him (5 years ago) he was married and had a child and a regular job and I really thought he was getting his shit together. I've been struggling with what to write to his parents all day.
Raq, I am so sorry for your loss.
I don't know what you can say to his parents other than to express your sympathy and sorrow--maybe something you always loved about him, and will always remember about him?
Raq, I am so sorry. I don't know what there is to say really. Cindy's suggestions are good.
