All I've got is a photograph

[vovat]

So, here's the promised picture of me with my dyed hair.



Today, my grandparents (my dad's parents, that is) came to visit, and took my mom, brother, sister, and me out to eat at a Chinese buffet. It was pretty good. Among other things, I had some salt-and-pepper shrimp that were really difficult to unpeel, and a few different kinds of sushi. I didn't really like most of them, but there was one seaweed-y kind that was pretty good.

My grandmother has to get radiation therapy in a few weeks, so I hope that works out all right.


I got this from countblastula.

Then there's this quiz:

I am 24% Hippie.

What? Am I a Republican? Why did I even bother taken this test?! I guess I'll back to my George W. Bush fan club and tell them I just wasted 10 minutes of my life. At least I don't stink, man.

Take the
Hippie Test
@ FualiDotCom

Hey! I said right in the quiz that I wasn't a Republican!


You know, I like plums, but this Nantucket Nectars Red Plum juice isn't that great.

Nice hair! Why aren't you smiling? Is it because the colour isn't dark enough?

That meme was long! I couldn't do it, because a lot of my music is spread out over several places.

I'm not very good at smiling on cue.

I hope your grandmother is OK! Or comes out OK! Or however you want to phrase it!

Thanks.

i'm always disappointed when i dye my hair and i can barely tell the difference. are you going to try again?

what is tmbg's "cabbagetown" from again? i totally forgot about that song. i feel like i own it and i'm going to smack myself for forgetting..

[bethje.livejournal.com]

I know you own it. You put it on a TMBG b-side tape for me six years ago. :)

It's from the I Palindrome I EP.

I don't know if I'll try again. I might, but I don't really want to have to go through the process again so soon, and I don't want the change to be TOO drastic.
