There are times I’m a fairly impulsive person… usually when I’m upset or depressed, or just not thinking clearly. Sometimes the results aren’t what I intended. (Like perming and cutting my hair - I miss it!) Other times though, it comes out much better than expected. Why am I bringing it up now? Well, I decided to be impulsive today. I dyed my hair again. Yep, TP is no longer a blonde, but back to the light auburn that she’d been doing it for years. Only now, it’s lighter. Sorta. With a little more ash to it. I was afraid it would come out badly, because of the blonde, and I’d nevr done the color over blonde before… But it looks **GOOD**. I mean, I **REALLY** like it. I think it makes my face look a little slimmer and it matches my complexion so much better. (And I promise I’ll get a pic and send it in for the pictures pages so you’ll see the “new” me!) So, disaster averted. Life has made a small leap toward semi-happiness. (Which I needed a little of right now!) Now I just need any tips on getting my long, beautiful glorious hair back again. :{ So what have **YOU** done impulsive this week? ---

I dyed my hair blue. It was _supposed_ to be just a few streaks. See, my best friend and I went halfsies on a bottle of Manic Panic electric blue at Hot Topic, and she was going to do her whole head and I was going to do streaks with what was left over. But she decided not to go blue ebcause she liked the way she looked after bleaching her black hair, and when I rinsed the dye off the streaks I put in my own hair the dye kinda tinted my entire head smurf blue. It’s starting to fade now. It’s the color of bread mold. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by hardygrrl_ > **And I’ll be dying the hair tonight but that’s not impulsive-that’s out of necessity-damn roots!** That’s what **THIS** started out as! The roots were taking over the blonde! And it’s too much of a pain to keep up with, especially when your hair is as naturally dark as mine and you go blonde!!! 😃 ---

Sure wasn’t… since I don’t work on Sundays. So I can stay and play all day, if I really want to! Of course, the race DOES come on at 1, so there is that slight interruption! ---
