I always forget: one of the things I do when I'm stressed is think about doing something to my hair. I want to bleach some white streaks at the temples. Narrow ones, but still. It would involve hair color remover and bleach, two things I should probably avoid.

Yes, I could just get white-blonde micro-ring extensions and put them in. Maybe I'll even do that.

Randomly, here, have a picture of part of my current workspace. I have created a little writing nook for myself in the Library, with a comfy chair and appropriate decor.

I have the book in the back (The Supernatural) as part of my collection as well. Maybe I should include it in my shrine to my poltergeists.

You too, with the stress and the hair? I'm still letting some ill-advised blue-black grow out from APRIL. I need to remember that unless I'm planning to wear full basic makeup every day, blue-black is REALLY unflattering on me, and I'd do better to stick with soft black. The other thing I need to remember is that it's really hard to get cohesive, un-messy streaks into boing-boing curly hair, and that I should maybe stick to one or two CURLS instead of going for streaks if I want colorful accents.

That, and I've got some perfectly lovely hairpieces, and can use them for color, rather than frying my hair further. :-/

It's the urge to reinvent yourself so you can become a new person who is better able to hand these stresses.

I second the idea of the clip in extensions. I used to use them when I, you know, had HAIR, and they're really fun, cheap, and easy to make look natural-ish. Even if you think you might want to dye it for real, they're a good way of making sure you really like how it looks on you before going ahead and doing it. :)

That's so funny - I do the same thing where I just get the terrible urge to bleach/dye/change the hell out of my hair when I'm stressed. I keep thinking I want white streaks at my temples too, but since I have a blue streak in the front, that's not the best idea, heh. Maybe one day I can get the streak in the front to be white one day. :)

I've learned over the years to do something complicated and interesting with my nails instead, like reverse french manicures, or painting little scenes across my nails, heh.
