YAY FOR SATURDAYS I slept in late, took a shower, did my laundry, cleaned my room, and bummed around in it all day. Then, at about 5:45, I got Joe, Vanessa, Adi, Anne, Matt and Frank together for dinner at this great "Mexican" place called Chipotle down the street from the university. It's a favorite of the students here. Adi said she was going through Chipotle withdrawal while she was home over winter break. Moving on...after we'd finished eating, we all sat at our table just chillin' for a while. Eventually, the conversation turned to finding something to do for the evening. It was too cold to make use of the city that we've found at our disposal since moving here, so the typical suggestions made their way around the table: movies, game room, cooking though (if you know anything about Chipotle, you should know that their food is very filling) no one truly considered it, etc. For no reason other than sheer boredom, I blurted, "Let's dye Matt's hair blue!" Everyone was silent just long enough to gage the responses of everyone else. Then, intense laughter lasting only as the silence...everyone was actually considering it; all heads turned towards Matt. He was smiling rather wryly.
Off we went towards CVS. Unfortunately, they didn't carry blue hair dye. The did, however, have fuschia.
For whatever reason, Matt decided that I'd be the best person to dye his hair. I informed him that I'd never done it before, but, he insisted. Guess what! I didn't screw it up. Matt really liked it and Anne (the girl in the picture above) asked me to put some it in her bangs. She was hesitant about doing it when we started, but by the end of the night, she'd decided that she would head over to CVS in the morning to get red (red-head red, not apple red) hair dye so I could highlight her hair with it tomorrow night. WoO hOo, go me! A good idea and a good execution of it. It was so much fun.
I just thought that was a cool shot. Cleaning out the sink wasn't as fun. Ok, I'm exhausted and slightly buzzed from the ammonia smell that permeated through the air of the 7th floor boy's bathroom, our base of operations. Later days.
