Day in the Life of an Idiot

On an impulse, I decided to dye my hair yesterday.  My normal hair color is probably best described as "mousey" or "dishwater brown."  It's a very non-descript color AT BEST.  Up until some time in high school, I actually had fairly blondish hair.  It was definitely in the color scheme of blond.  But, lately, my hair is just sort of "meh" on its own.

Plus, Anime Detour is coming up and, should it happen that I can go, I've discovered the joys of cosplaying.  My hair is currently cut very boyish so, I thought, "Heh, I can finally join the legions of Ichigo Kurosaki cosplayers (I'll probably the ONLY cross player!)"

So, I got the brightest orange dye kit that was still considered "natural" (because work has one of those "natural color" stipulations in its dress code for hair), hoping to come out looking passably like this:



Instead, I turned out looking more like this:



Agreed?



Yeah, I thought so.  *sighs*  I may have missed the mark a bit.  Also, my hair?  Not terribly orange.  Luckily, for Detour, I have a can of orange hairspray, so I can make it more obvious who I'm trying to be....  Though, you know, I'll pass for Ichigo just about as well as I passed as Renji....



Though the tats were a blast:



Shawn is soooooooo lucky that I'm allergic to metal and piss-ass poor, our I would so have the back and arm tattoos RIGHT NOW.  :-)

So, yeah, my next job?  Building Zangetsu!
