Well, that didn't go quite as planned...

Last night I thought I'd ring in the New Year by making another attempt at dyeing my hair really, really purple with a pack of "Plum Rose" dye I got at Sally's Beauty Supply.

So this morning I'm looking in the mirror and I realize that while my hair does not seem to be any more purple, my scalp does.

Oh well. At least this time I didn't dye my neck purple!

The 2003 meme

I think the thing that really cracks me up about 2003 was when I realized that I'd had three major lying-on-the-floor-sobbing depressive episodes and my reaction was still "Well, it sure was better than 2002!!"

1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Gamed. Took a real vacation without my family. Saw the Pacific. Let myself cut loose and be a total teenager. Dyed my hair purple. Stopped hating Atlanta. [Censored.]

2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My New Year's resolution was to take the stairs at work, and yes, I did keep it. Still deciding on this year's resolutions, but one of them is to do the fucking dishes.

( You want more? )
