Bottle blond

I have decided to finally take the plunge and go back to high-maintenance blond hair. I'm not going to go quite as blond as I used to be. I want to have really dark blond hair, more like light brown with gold in it. It will be nice because it won't be that different from my normal hair color. I haven't seen my normal hair color since 2003 so I don't even really know what it is anymore.

Black hair is nice, but I'm so pale that the black hair makes me look even paler. I'm probably going to regret it the next time I see a picture of me and a bunch of Asians, but whatever. I've been working on accepting adulthood, and part of adulthood is letting other people do your hair and tell you what looks good. Mike's mom and sisters were talking about me while I wasn't there during Christmas, and apparently they like me with blond hair?! My grandparents also told me that I look more Asian than American, and I told them that was the point and that I was trying to assimilate into Asian culture.

This is probably going to cost a lot of money, as they'll have to take the black color out, slightly bleach, and then add in the color I want. It's going to take forever too. I'm going to bring my first day assignments with me so I can do something productive rather than read fashion magazines.

I have spent the majority of the past two days sitting around daydreaming. And I don't mean I've just been unproductive, I've been actually daydreaming. I have so much work to do, I don't know why I'm so retarded. My note first draft is going to be a piece of shit. But I have listened to 60 or 70 songs off of "Best of 2009" album lists. WTF. I'm sorry, but Animal Collective has never written a song I could listen to. It's fucking boring! I've really tried. So many papers and websites have put their album in the top lists, but every time I start listening to a song, I can't even force myself to complete it. God, it's dull. What is wrong with hipsters? I have seen quite a few mentions of Kid Cudi's album and White Rabbits' album too, so at least something good made it in.

I know music is a matter of taste and opinion. Tons of people like their steak medium-rare, but if I take a bite of anything less than medium-well I want to gag. Maybe Animal Collective is just the medium-rare steak of the music world. Critics would smugly look down upon a steak cooked more than medium-rare, and would savor their Animal Collective album. I listen to it and it makes me question the taste of most Americans. "Most" Americans are also obese pigs who can't tell the difference between steak and hamburger though, so I'm not going to worry about it.
