Oh, not done yet.

If I were 17, I'd totally wear this dress and a non-revealing bra and boy shorts. Why the hell not?

Depends on the dye, and how bright you want the color to be.

With semi-permanents, I find bleaching necessary. (I haven't pre-bleached since I got pregnant, and the blue lasts about a week before it needs touching up. In practice, this means my hair has looked like crap for the past 7 months. Dear lord do I ever need a haircut. But I digress.) Most permanent dyes have peroxide lighteners built into the formula.

Cause you are considering going maroon?

And to reiterate.... maroon not moron.

eta this post number = year I was born!

Kat, vicodin. Now, missy. Then deal with the remaining strips after it has kicked in. Or have someone else deal if your coordination is compromised. Seriously.

HEY I EDITED because my brain sucks, ok?!!!? I'd never call ita a maroon or a moron. Please.

I just discovered that my TiVo did not record Friday Night Lights.

You want one of us should figure out how to get it to you?

I don't come at the show from ever hating football. I don't think I can imagine a world where getting down the field and over the line doesn't matter. But, that's sort of our thing. I was talking to K tonight, and her boyfriend asked why she roots for LSU when she went to SMU. The question actually struck her dumb. What else would you do but root for that team? Like the Saints. Sure, they've sucked. They've broken my heart, but I'll be right back there next year with my fleur-de-lis, screaming my ass off.

However, it's not the football that grabs me. I yell like a fool who doesn't know it's scripted at the games, but it's the people. It's my people being portrayed like they're not one-dimensional. The cheerleader, the vixen, the quarterback, they are actual people.

Usually, I'm seeing people who say oil "awl" and on "own" as if we're all simple minded freaks. But, I got to see us fighting against expectations and social norms and being human. I'd like that to not go away.

Kat, can you do oil or something on the tape at all?

Even the thought of the surgical tape removal makes me cringe. Me=big old wuss.

I stopped at TJs on the way home, and bought Mango Chili Vinegar, which the sign told me made a good marinade. I figured it would either be the best thing ever, or so gross I never got over the taste.

Either way, new Natter stuff.

Or have someone else deal if your coordination is compromised.

Um. No. Given where the incision is.

Kat, can you do oil or something on the tape at all?

I could but that is equally fraught and scary. What I did this morning was stand in the nice warm shower and then rip them. It wasn't so bad except for the stabby agonizing pain the subsequent dull pain that has been haunting me since.

Me too!

OK, I'll take you at your word. I just don't want any more pain than is avoidable for you. Cause that's bad. t /understatement of the young century

I didn't even think of it that way, DJ. And thanks for pointing that out. It's funny, because (sans accent) that is kinda the community I came from (though...different. But similarly insular and not really gotten,) but was apart from, within. But I loved it. And I love it now, even as I was not really a part of it, but it is familiar. I can see the goodness and the wretched within and .... it's ...familiar. I guess.
