[size=1]Okay, you MUST provide a picture to go with your reply! If you haven't got a digital camera/scanner, just try googling the location. Where do you live, and what's the best place to go in the city? I live in San Francisco, and my favourite place to go is Haight St. It's pretty famous, supposedly where 'hippies' came from. It's a great place to shop - I go here for clothes as I hate seeing other people wearing the same clothes as me. The stores here sell a variety of stuff, from unique styles of clothes to hair dye to random stuff [like this huge collection of pez dispensers, lunch boxes, toys, art supplies, rare CD imports, etc]. Umm it's also famous for selling bongs and pipes, lol. In fact, there's always one store that sells 'em on every block. But there's a lot to look at, and it's fun. The food places there are pretty spiffy, too. Annnd if you're Buddhist, you're in luck. There's a bunch of stores where you can get all this meditation-related candles, insense, chimes, and etc. I go there once a week, and I always see something new. Local bands post their flyers all over that street's posts... there's always a bunch of buskers that actually sound nice [as opposed to Chinatown]... It's hard to feel out of place. I can't go to Macy's with pink hair, but if I go to Haight, I'll see like, three other people with pink hair and a million others with cool hair styles. If you're ever in San Francisco, go there and get a haircut. All salons there are great. I just wouldn't suggest taking the usual grandparents or conservative aunt/uncle who would prefer seeing the Golden Gate bridge. I honestly don't know why tourists come all the way to San Fran to see the bridge. -.- Oh, but because I'm lazy, I googled for pics. I'll try and get some photos next time I'm there.

[size=1]I

[size=1]They're like starsigns in Asia, but it's hilarious when my mom freaks out over having a parking space stolen [in San Francisco, it's like having someone order the last Big Mac in a [url=http://www.mensfitness.com/rankings/200]Detroit/Houston[/url] McDonalds] and she says 'THAT PERSON HAS TO BE A NEGATIVE B TYPE ROAR'.[/size]

[size=1]You Jews have the best holidays. I spent Passover with my previous best friend's family, and it was a blast. Our family isn't religious at all, so...[/size]

[size=1]I've met [b]Matt Bellamy[/b], lead singer and guitarist from the band [b]Muse[/b] three times and had a conversation with him each time. I also met [b]Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard[/b] from [b]Muse[/b]... the bassist and drummer. The conversations I had with them were a bit shorter as they were in a hurry each time, but all members were extremely down to earth and not... glam. Then there's [b]Alex K[/b] from [b]Franz Ferdinand[/b]. Didn't have a chat with him or anything, though. I just ran up to him without realising there was a line for autographs and when the groupies behind me were about to slaughter me for doing so, I just said 'whoops, sorry' and he winked at me, lol. I was standing two feet away from him, though, so all is well. Yeah. I walked past members of [b]Modest Mouse[/b], [b]the Killers[/b], [b]Taking Back Sunday[/b] and [b]Interpol[/b], but didn't approach them or anything. The other members of Franz Ferdinand let groupies into their tour bus, but I was too busy waiting for Muse outside theirs, lol. Ummm.... [b]Robin Williams[/b] and [b]Whoopi Goldberg[/b] live three blocks down from my house. I saw his wife [...or daughter, young enough to be] inside once while I was out jogging if that counts for anything. Then a bunch of bands like [b]Sugarcult[/b], [b]Anberlin[/b],[b]Hawthorne Heights[/b] and [b]Plain White Ts[/b] at this small gig thing, but I didn't exactly know who was in which band, so... heh. They were getting high/having sex with their other 14-16 year old fans backstage anyway. I think that's it.[/size]

[size=1]Just last night, I had the scariest dreams ever. First, I dreamed about answering phones. Telemarketer calls [dontlaughyet], actually. Usually pick up, I just say 'um, sorry, my dad's not home right now'. But in this dream, these calls kept coming. I don't remember hearing any voices from the phone, but these calls kept coming, and I kept answering. But I was actually answering out loud. I was... half asleep, half not, I think. In the dream, I was sitting up in a white room, but in actually, I also remember being able to see my feet on the other side of my bed, and I was saying out loud 'No, sorry, he's not home right now. ...Actually, he's never home. He's never home. He's not home to answer your calls. Try again later. He's never here to answer my calls. He'll never be here to answer your calls. He'll never be home.' Then the next dream was where I was sitting in a glass house. Completely made of glass, and I was the only one. I could see myself. I was sitting there, this glass house on a hill by the beach. And everybody was standing there. Not any individuals, just 'everybody'. Staring and staring, I could feel myself shrinking as they stared. Observing, and it was like I could feel them leeching off me - my mind and it was all slipping away. I felt like I was some museum display, and these people were discussing me and I couldn't say a word. Third dream was of me, and I was having a conversation with myself in a mirror, but in actuallity it was like, a camera sort of thing so people would watch me at cinema. I would ask to the audience if they thought it was funny I was fat, if they thought it was funny I wasn't eating, if they thought I had a choice, if they found it was amusing I felt I was losing my mind. Then I knew there would be the occasional smart *** in the front row talking back, so I told him to shut up and to ask himself what the point of his life is and why he's not with his friends but at the pictures alone with nothing but a supersize bag of popcorn for comfort. I would talk to every person in the audience and tell them to question their lives and why they felt so important when they're nothing but another ant in a colony. Then the entire audience as a whole would venture out into the film room upstairs and see if there was, in fact, a girl with pink hair living there, and all they would find is a roll of film. Fourth dream, or so I thought for a while, was where I arrived at school, each of my routines completed as usual, but I couldn't see anyone. I heard a few 'Hey, I like your hair - Oh, you got a haircut! - Whoa, what'd you do to your hair?'-s here and there, but it was all a blur. No individual faces. Save one - my own. I saw my own face, but no one else. Not even my best friend. I was able to see myself all morning. How I looked from the back, the front, each of my facial expressions... It was like that until I took a nap during lunch at school, and woke up. Crazy. I'm concerned that my overdosing on diet pills by 500% within an hour yesterday had anything to do with it. I had a bunch of strange dreams two nights ago as well, and I overdosed by 400%. Upon waking up that time, I just broke down and couldn't stop crying. [/size]

[size=1]For some reason, I just find myself most easily angered by people who remind me of myself in more ways than others... I'm easily irritated, but not easily angered. Does that make any sense?[/size]

[size=1]Depends, and there's quite a 'range'. Some of them just seem to be there for laughs, some to confide, some to help around a certain subject... etc. I always have one best friend I trust completely, tell everything to, know most about, open up most to, and spend most of my time with. We form this bond where we can confront each other about issues and [b]listen[/b]. I don't seek perfection. I'm not perfect, so why should I expect my best friend to be? Obviously, I'll meet people who will make me laugh more, teach me more, etc. But I do seek [b]honestly[/b] and reliability. I can't consider someone I constantly speculate a friend. If they show me they're trustworthy... then why not? There's good in everyone, and it's about giving yourself a chance to experience meeting someone truly special. [/size]

[size=1]Life's a tedious step? I can't stress how strongly I believe there's a bunch of stuff after death, and I'm excited about moving on. It doesn't make sense to me how some people are afraid to die. The earth really isn't that fantastic of a place, as it's so full of hypocrites and limits as to how far you can go. My dad said nature keeps everything balanced, and it's true, but not necessarily a great thing. For some reason, I feel life would be a lot less tedious to me if I was in love. But what can I say, I'm 14. [/size]

[size=1]I'm in therapy for anorexia and bulimia, but I don't think I'm a serious case... at all, lol. But for the past two months I've been on week-long liquid fasts or staying below 500 calories [

[size=1]I'm 5'8''. I've wanted to reach 5'10'' desperately, but it's too risky to try by gaining more weight. I guess I'd rather aim for average and thin? [/size]

[size=1]If I was rediculously wealthy, I'd travel without a doubt. The thought of being able to see the world without worrying about deadlines and responsibilities is just, wow, nirvana to me. Then I'd also pursue a career in the arts. Not actively, but it's what I really want to do, anyway. I mean, who wouldn't? To be able to express myself through music, acting, painting, photography, and writing while being able to travel and have inspiration hit me right and left and have time to [b]think[/b] is a dream. [/size]

[size=1][b]And the time that I will suffer less is when I'll never have to wake[/b] - 'Wandering Stars' - Portishead [b]Hunger hurts, starving works when it costs too much to love[/b] - 'Paper Bag' - Fiona Apple [b]I don't care if it hurts. I want to have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice when I'm not around. I wish I was special... you're so ******* special.[/b] - 'Creep' - Radiohead I don't think any of those are very healthy, but they're constantly in my head. [/size]

[size=1]Well, as has been said, every person is different. One of us female members can't speak to represent all girls on the planet. Some girls like the arrogantmachomuscularbeachtannedoverconfidentprettyboywithanIQequivalenttohisage type, some prefer the ohhI'msilentstuckupandhaveanemofringeandpretendIhavenoconfidencetogetlaid type, some prefer the whole arrredmeatb33rfootballbaggypantswhereImightaswellwearadressthehelldoyoumeanbyabelt type, some girls prefer the whole oMgImsOPiMPbi7ch3znh03zbLinGbLiNggaNgsTuH type, some prefer the heyI'msexyandIknowitI'llbeyourfriendfortwohoursthenyousleepwithme type, some like the playinghardtogetisfunandi'mreallyficklesogopineaway type, and I detest all of them, lol. Just be yourself, and rather than going 'looking' for girls, just let it happen naturally. Soon enough, you'll bump into someone you feel really comfortable and at ease with, and those cases always seem to work out better than trying to 'hook yourself up' with whoever 90% of the other guys are going after. [/size]

[size=1]I'm addicted to the nutrition facts bit on food items at grocery stores? Even if I would nevereverever buy a certain food item, I must know how many calories are in a certain serving of food, blahblah. Also looking up that stuff online. It's a lot easier because I've come across a site that tells me how many calories I've burnt doing certain activities. Not just calories, though. Funny thing is, in that huge list of activities listed, they have a big section for 'Church'. xD Oh, I'm addicted to sleeping and exercise too. [/size]

[size=1]I think the word 'popular' is taken out of context... You could fit the stereotype by how you look/how you dress/who you date/what clubs you're in/etc, but doesn't popularity mean how well-liked you are and by how many? I mean, honestly, there's plenty of people at my school who have expensive clothes and try far too hard to get attention via appearance, but it just doesn't work because they're not interesting to talk to whatsoever. And by making themselves look so uptight with being so concerned about what they wear, it makes them appear less approachable, so they don't have any friends. It's just the two of them. Also, the 'popular ghetto Asian posse' at school... they never talk to each other and look really really bored during lunch, lol. On occasion, a sixth grader will cross the territory line and they'll start picking on them because they stepped on their air force ones, but otherwise, they look miserable. If that's what popularity is considered as - just sitting around in overpriced clothes with a group of people who don't know my birthday/last name - I'd pass. I don't see why it's so important to people. Just one person I can trust completely and confide in is more than enough for me, and I feel fortunate to have such a best friend I can trust totally. :)[/size]

[size=1]Art and music mean everything to me and I'd honestly rather die than go blind or deaf. Looking into someone's eyes whilst speaking, hearing their voice, being able to sing/act/take photographs to express myself... I can't imagine ever having those taken away from me - sight and hearing. Those deserve nifty phobia names, heh. Does anorexia/bulimia count? [/size]

[size=1]I've always believed that the heart and soul have no gender. Therefore, I would say that I am bisexual. This doesn't mean if I fancy a guy, there's still 'something missing' or that I look at everyone in a sexual way - just that I'm like many, many other people unsure of where they stand, and it's just something I'd rather not waste time thinking about. You can't help who you fall in love with, so what makes you think you can decide which gender?[/size]

[size=1]My worst fear is becoming blind or deaf for the rest of my life, and as crazy as it may sound, I'd rather die. It would be torture beyond words. This woman has suffered for fifteen years, it's time to let her go. But then again, I don't feel death is the end of the line. If someone I knew was in that state, it would hurt me much more to have them be in constant pain on earth than to have them rest peacefully and move on. Has it been mentioned that she's in this state due to fertility pills? There's been a settlement between the family and company to keep that under wraps...[/size]

[size=1]Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Muse/...someone. Feeling Good - Muse/Nina Simone. Sunday Bloody Sunday - Radiohead/U2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Faye Wong/Queen. Though I prefer the original.[/size]

[size=1]Quuuuestion: For bleach, is 40 vol. okay? I spent a good portion of yesterday going through LiveJournal communities about hair trying to figure out what everyone's opinion was. See, along with my order, the two bottles of bleach are both 40 vol., however the top layer of my hair has been bleached already. Er, so basically... Is 40 vol. really damaging? Would I have to start from the bottom -> up bleaching since the hair closest to my neck is still darkdark brown? Kuuuudos![/size]

[size=1]I'm lead vocals + guitar in our band 'Asphyxia', and so far, we've done mostly covers of Muse, then some Incubus/Franz Ferdinand/Coldplay on the side. I've rejected three record deals so far this year, but just for vocals. After having one before, ehh... it's just for the fun of being in a band. Studios are no fun when you're just doing vocals. =x But yeah, our band - everyone's 14 too, besides our drummer who's 17. I'm arranging the entire school talent show [being president and all], and our band along with two others are 'headlining'. No award, though. We just felt it was a bit mean to say 'oh, this person sings better than you' blahblah. I like your band name. :) And Tony - always ahead of trends, eh? =P[/size]

[QUOTE=Semjaza Azazel]I only pay around $8 a bottle for Special Effects... But I don't go to Hot Topic for it. I assume it would be most expensive there. I go to a local place. You might even want to try eBay. I've gotten quite a bit off there for next to nothing. ArunueShekamari - I really like that color in your second picture. I can't even make it out in the first one, lol.[/QUOTE] [size=1]I tried searching on the 'net for a store that always has it in stock, and Hot Topic's the only thing that showed up. I'm ordering it [url=http://www.amphigory.com/special_effects_hairdye.html]here[/url] tomorrow morning. I hope their bleaching kit's good, as I'm ordering two. _-_ I went to several beauty salons + random stores on Haight street, but the only brand they held was Manic Panic.[/size]

[size=1]Well, from my erm, experience on the opposite end, I've always found it easier when a boy would tell me directly that he just doesn't like me [b]that[/b] way. It's a bit of a stab at first, but hey, I get over it. It's a lot better than feeling confused of where I stand and having that terrible feeling of being let on over and over. Subtle hints can be a bit confusing, and if they're stupid and optimistic like me, it just won't work, lol. It might hurt him at first, but it's a lot better in the long run. Things will be back to normal faster, and you can just put an end to it while it's erm... cook..ing. o_o[/size]

[QUOTE=Semjaza Azazel]That's what I used last, Cupcake Pink ([URL=http://www.sweethypocrisies.com/obpics/data/media/36/pinkssm.jpg]Picture[/url]). It's a great color. How long it lasts really depends on how you use it. With most Special Effects stuff, if you bleach throroughly, it's going to last a pretty damn long time for a color of its type. I bleached a little, mostly the top area and that pink was in there for months (I had to cut off the remainder of it, it just wasn't fading). The stuff where I didn't bleach didn't last nearly as long. It seriously sounds like you're doing this stuff too often though, if I'm reading this right. You're going to wind up scorching your hair.[/QUOTE] [size=1]It's the last time I plan on dyeing it for a long time, though. If my hair wasn't turning grey right now, I wouldn't mind letting it grow out as is, but it's terribly messy, and araslkdjksajd. Yeah, definitely the last time. I had it highlighted with just bleached bits last summer, then dyed the entire thing brown, then got icky aqua-y highlights in, then bleached, and now I'm blue. Not THAT terrible, but this month has been quite a crash course for my hair. But ! it's fantastic the pink doesn't fade off! I really want it to last so I can just grow out my hair my natural dark brown again, but with the ends the remaining pink. And I plan on mixing Atomic Pink and Cupcake Pink together. Love how it looked on yours, by the way. By any chance, do you remember how much you paid for it? My dad's a tad hesitant that I'm buying all the stuff online with the shipping and handling and askdj, but Hot Topic's the only other place I know that sells it and it supposedly costs $15 there. =/[/size]
