Since Halloween, my hair has been white. Sometimes white with blue streaks or tips, but mostly just white. Standing there in the shower, debating if I wanted to do anything with my hair before taking off to Wizard World New Orleans tomorrow, I realized: this is not the right color for my hair; I’ve felt a little not me all this winter because of this. My hair should be red. With yellow-orange tips.
Somewhere in the past years, that’s just become… my natural hair color. It’s the one that makes me happy when I look in the mirror, even in the dead of winter. It’s the one that feels right.
It feels rightest when it’s a little faded, interestingly enough. Having it be the super-intense hue of “just dyed yesterday” feels a little off, feels like I’m begging for attention a little too much. But slightly faded red, going down to yellow? If I could convince my hair to grow in that color, I’d be delighted.
Anyway. I need to get dressed and do some laundry and get some dishwasher detergent so I can run that and I need to throw together my clothes for the coming week too. I’m really kinda wishing I hadn’t decided to do this con, it’s too soon after FC and I really still want to hide in my dark lair drawing and getting petted now and then. But Past Peggy thought it sounded like a good idea so here I am running around. I’ll be spending a few days before and after the con just bumming around New Orleans, hopefully I’ll get enough sunlight to help me make some real headway on the comic.
