Las Vegas | CA, Metalfest:

Las Vegas is not a cheap place to have your anniversary!

My hair has gotten too long. I have been covering it with black cherry instead of black for some months now. And finally the color has begun to show. I think it's time for a major hair cut, among other changes... That will probably end up on here eventually. Too much to report in too little time for now though. Time to bathe - going to see an old friend tonight.

Can't wait for this !

	You hair looks nice. I've been trying to grow mine but it seems to be at the same length for the longest time. I'm so impatient. I just went from black to red and it's takes a few months for it to finally show through, but it was worth it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you.

My hair grows very slowly too. This length took some years. I wanted to go red with my sister when she went red two years ago, but it's been a long process for me because I prefer really deep/black reds, and putting a deep red over black as it grows out takes some time... I'm happy with the progress, every month I pick a random shade of red to throw on my hair so I get to go purple/black and red/black off and on. ^.^

	I've never been so jealous of anyone's hair in my whole life. Mine is taking a fucking ETERNITY to grow. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hilarykeller 2009-02-14 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Ahww! You might want to rephrase that statement! I have the thinnest hair, almost asian like but not as pretty and thick. I have some natural curl too which is a bitch to tame every morning Hehe. You'll get there, it's just such an annoyingly long process =\ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Sympathies. I've got thin wavy hair that hates being straightened. Kind of given up now, giving the Helena-Bonham carter look a go. Gorgeous photo :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Oh Helena Bonham Carter is a fox. I love her overall demeanor and that - frazzled I'm a mess and so what I'm still hot - deal she has going on. Thank you =) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So do I =/ I HAVE to blow dry it to make it look decent, if I let it air dry it looks ridiculous. I wish mine had natural curl, it's pin straight all the time and just lays there and does nothing. I've been growing my hair for like 3 years and it's only about 3 inches passed my collar bone. But it was only about 5 inches long to begin with hahah. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

So maybe this will be something good for you to know about (or maybe not) either way; a lady who I see pretty much everyday when I get my coffee, had shaved her head all the way pretty much - about a month or so later it had grown amazingly fast, so I asked her what her secret was and she told me: she buys this horse hair type oil stuff. Apparently it's in any drug store, located in the hair care section for all African American hair types. But I guess this stuff is just bomb or something because that shit grew fast. No idea what it's called but definitely will add some weight to your hair too. Who knows.

I air dry, probably why it's wavy or I stick it in a bun or braid when I sleep and just flat iron it when I wake up. Also this stuff called Aquage, really helps to keep hair shiny and nice. Though don't make the mistake of putting it on your roots and going to sleep only to wake up with a nice little zit farm on your face from all the hair oil the next day, lol. I never put any oil or conditioner on my roots now... I learned my lesson!

	Oh yeah I never put anything on my roots or I'll look like a drowned rat. What black cherry dye are you using? I've been thinking about a change but don't want to stray too far from black...I always chicken out or dye it back black anyway haha. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Be there or be square ! Carcass, Exodus and Samael all at once... overload of endorphins. Hey btw, do you know anything about Ken Owen? I'm not up to speed on if he's still drumming for Carcass? It would make my day all the more to see him play. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Carcass, Suffocation and Samael! I saw Samael on live 5 years ago; great experience. Would LOVE to see Carcass. I envy you ... and your "too-long" hair :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Aw Thank you ! Envy me? *blinks*

I am absolutely pumped to see Carcass and of course Exodus and Samael. But Carcass is pretty much the center on which I'm building around for this trip to L.A. It's a 7Hr. drive so... if Carcass isn't going to play I'm not interested in making the trip tbh. I've been to my fair share of shows now, only focusing on the allstar favs and the acts that I haven't experienced yet. I think it's going to be cheaper to fly now due to gas prices though, which is nice.

Ah, I love Blood Ritual, never did get into Samael's newer stuff though. I bet when you saw Samael it was the prime time! I feel lucky being able to have a lot of great shows under my belt for my age especially from many years ago when I was a lot younger and less exposed... Shame, it's only now worth the effort to go out for bands that rarely play now-a-days - the Metal scene is just, so well scene. I'm going to try to get some good pics of Jeff, but I don't know - I'm afraid it will cheapen the experience with all that snapping-flaunt. Who played with Samael when you saw them, and what venue? Better stop now, I'm rambling away...

Seven hour drive shows indeed your love for these bands. I liked to go to festivals and see the maximun of bands in one day; but nowadays I tend -like you- to be more picky. (which leads not to go out much, hehe) And I missed Carcass playing recently (I didn't even know they were back!). So enjoy the gig for both of you :)

Cathedral played before Samael. Cathedral is a cult band (even to think of Lee Dorian in Napalm Death). Great on stage, Lee is a performer, but that is for old school doom, sure.
I listen from Worship Him to Passage (the then albums don't appeal me). Samael played various selected songs. I guessed mostly from Passage + 2 or 3 old songs. Of course, they might have changed their playlist by then.

As long as you capture it right, taking photographs won't be a waste of time, or won't "cheapen the experience". It'll be great memories; and you still have your ears when taking pics ;)

Nothing very extreme. But something that isn't long in the front and contours a bit more, than this long hair that just hangs in my face: making my face look ucky and oblong. I love perfectly oval/rounded face shapes and I think if I get some length cut off I'll be more successful there. You'll see =)

Blond huh? I don't think I've ever seen you as a blond - that sounds fun! Knowing you you'll probably just end up shaving all your hair off again anyway! Haha.

Thanks hun. Maybe I'll bump into you around campus again soon, been awhile =)

Thank you! Some pretty longhairs you've got there =)

If you are going for a natural light red, you'll have to bleach your hair (which I do not suggest, with already dyed black hair) but if you prefer a deep, rich dark red just instead of touching your roots with black, put an almost black red over it and as your hair grows longer it'll just keep getting more red. That way it won't appear uneven with red roots and black ends, so stick to a really dark color at first so when the light hits your hair it's like this dark silhouette on fire, I love it! Good luck to you, and your pretty hairs ^_~

You're very sweet to say that, thank you. I'm jazzed about this show, love Carcass, love even more the chance finally to see them take stage.

...he he he, my last Myspace account passed away - yet again - and even though I always say I won't plan to return, I do. But I don't know... that site is just so damn glittery for about 2 seconds until after about a month or so it just starts to get well, Myspace-y. I may have time eventually to recreate an account but since school started and work soon (hopefully) too, I probably won't be able to dedicate much time to any heavy social networking sites like before. I am hoping to be able to keep the focus around art-oriented accounts for the few projects I have time for these days. dA and LJ are pretty much just my solid destinations. Every time I get a profile complete on that damn site, I think I get a subconscious kick in destroying it only to rebuild it all over months later... repeat. Haha - well maybe it's because Myspace is easy to do that. It think it would be much harder to pull that on Livejournal, that would be like pissing away years of memories, in one click. I'm a sap for that stuff, what can I say! (Apparently plenty... and poor you only asking one simple question, I give you a novel)

Damn, I didn't know that myspace can be such a pain. I have the account there since ... hmm 3-4 years and it has never been deleted or anything like that .. especially that I hardly ever come there last months. Well, myspace definetelly doesn't like you, dunno why. Send them some virus or something ;)
Btw, I send you friend-request on facebook [blonde girl from Poland - yeah that's me], I don't know if you are active there or not. I'd be happy if you add me, but if not, it's not a problem at all :)

It's only around 1.5 month from the Carcass show, have you already bought your ticket? :)

Myspace needs to stop being so addicting to make and delete! That bastard site makes me waste obscene amounts of time. Bad Habit, had to end the addiction >.<

Yeah, I resurrected the FB last week because some fake HK account was going on, and probably still is... Lame. I just added you - pretty platinum-haired lady.

No, haven't gotten the tix yet. My boyfriend does that part I get confused with plane tickets, travel stuff and all that. Hopefully sometime this week! =)

I'm not going to cut into the length, I'm just going to shape / cut the front and pluck the fucky ends off. I haven't had a trim in like a year I think e_e I'm terrible. Bryan misses my hair a little shorter too. I'm trying to convince him to go red, but he isn't fond of reds unless it's really dark, or of course platinum blond (his favorite hair colors on me) Now that I got to this red color... I already changed my mind again and am thinking of going an unnatural color now. Haha. Do you have a photo of the blue by chance? Happy Valentine's Day love !<3
