It happens. I get bored, I have no outlets for frustration but myself, and so bits of myself start changing. I wanted to do purple, but Brian talked me into red instead. Really red. You could call it a violent red, even. Maybe a bright blood red, rather appropriately.



No, it's not your monitor, it really is exactly that color. Very noticeable. In the sunlight, it really glows. It's not pink or orange, it's just so strong your brain wants to say it's pink or orange just to explain it.

Very cool!

Incidentally, dying your own hair while bandaged is not the easiest thing in the world. With hair as long as mine, I've always rinsed my hair in the shower, because trying to do anything in the sink just makes a mess. However, in the shower, everything goes everywhere. So how to keep the (obviously toxic) dye solutions away from my nice big hole? Not to mention the drain that wouldn't die.

Brian's idea for this was to take a plastic baggie and tape it over the area. I used tape on all top three sides, to help ensure that water wouldn't get through.

It didn't work completely. I think water seeped through the tape, or ran under my skin, or something. However it happened, there was a slight pinkish tinge to the top layer of bandaging. But, it was only on the top, it didn't actually get anywhere near the hole, so overall, I'd say the method was a success.
