*grumbles* Well, soon after I made my post on Saturday cheerful about the fact that we got our new Road Runner internet working again…it crashed. *grumbles again* Long story short: Our internet went down, Time Warner gave us some new crap and then it worked for a few hours and then our router went bad and had to download some more crap to make it work but now…maybe, possible, probably not…our internet seems to be finally set and done.

I have quite the story to tell everyone of my misadventures that happened today:
I’m going to be going to the NY Comic Con and I’m going to be dressed as Tifa from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children so this morning, I figured I’d get a slightly darker hair dye then what I usually get(I’ve been dying my hair since college because I started getting gray hairs…early gray hairs run in the family…I’d have Inuyasha hair by now if I didn’t dye it.XD). I picked up a color that was supposed to be Dark Amber Brown so once I got home, I put it in, showered, and…it dyed my hair…BLACK! Like…black black. Very much not a good color on me. So, I called a bunch of hair salons trying to get an emergency appointment and one stylist suggested that I put Dawn dishwashing liquid in my hair but to condition the hell out of it since it will dry out and destroy my hair. I’m thinking to myself…hell no am I doing that to my hair plus, the Comic Con is in a couple days! So, I managed to find a place that could squeeze me in and they had to end up highlighting my hair because they didn’t want to have to bleach my entire head but they ended up highlighting it not just once but twice because the black dye was so dark that the first layer barely showed up. So yeah, $80 later my hair is lighter and now it has 3 layers of color in it.^^’’

And…this goes into the “don’t do what ElvesAteMyRamen did” category(as if what happened above wasn’t enough). When I dyed my hair the black color, I forgot to put a shirt on and towel around my neck so I ended up dying my skin too! Oi vey! I quickly did an ask.com search on how to get hair dye off of skin because this dye was NOT coming off. There were all kinds of suggestions and majority of them had people say they didn’t work except for one thing did seem to work for everyone…which was to use the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser. Lol! So yes, I ended up using the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser on my body and it did work! Only problem is, it totally scratches your skin up raw. So yeah, I got the dye off but now I have deep red marks on parts of my arms, on my neck, on my back, and even on my stomach. I hope it heals before the con since Tifa’s costume top is pretty skimpy.>_<

Sorry for such a long post! My excuse is that I’ll probably be gone for a few more days since I’m going to be staying at my pal, Angelica’s house while going to the con in NYC. I’ll let you guys know how the con went upon my arrival back home around Sunday or Monday. Oh, and I’ll be meeting Adam(the owner/creater/publisher of Otaku) there! I’m looking forward to it…let’s just hope he doesn’t read this post about my um…hair and skin disaster.XP
