Me birthday is on Wednesday.

As Freedom pointed out, Thanksgiving is only 30 days away. Yay.

THANKSGIVING IS ONLY ANOTHER 30 DAYS! (It's a happy thought because I get to go home!)

I love that life seems to be pretty good for people that I know, along with myself.

Thanks for the tip, Eutrepe.

I have nothing else to say so that I do not ruin my own board.

Welcome, shorty.

HI, i love you.

I like Unchained Melody!

And yes, bleach can ruin your hair. It can also turn your hair green, and sometimes can turn it green in chlorine. (Not that I imagine you're gonna do much swimming.)

However, the reason it ruins it is because it's like..paint stripper for your hair. It completely strips the hair strands of color. That's why dye absorbs more into the hair after you bleach it.

If you want to spend the cash, if you dye your hair blue...wait about three days and dye it back to a color that matches your natural hair color..and then allow your hair to grow back.

Your hair can take that shock treatment once. (As long as you don't routinely dye or tease your hair, which I don't think you do.)

Good luck!

Eeesh....that scares me a lot. If that is true, then I'm not bleaching it, even if I do decide to dye my hair. I'll just have to find the brightest color I can and hope it shows up enough.

Green - I manage not to "conform" during spirit week by doing different stuff on the themed days. Like for Decade Day, I'm doing '80s punk/rock fashion (kinda...I couldn't find everything to make it ideal) as opposed to the usual hippie flairs and poodle skirts. And we don't have a homecoming dance. We do Spirit Week Monday through Friday and Friday night is the football game and Homecoming is at half-time where all of the court is presented and the queen is announced. The end. I don't really like the game because the band has to perform post-game and during the half-time thing, we stand there - at attention, no less - for like an hour while everyone is presented and then we have to play the ever unpopular "Unchained Melody."

Its school spirit week here too! And for once, I'm conforming.

Monday's mismatch day. I don't know what to wear. I never match.

If I were going to homecoming, I'd have a dress!

Finished figuring out my "Decade Day" attire/accessories/etc. for Monday.

'Tis Spirit Week which is always fun. Monday is "Decade Day" Tuesday is "Comfy and Crazy" (pajamas) Wednesday is "College Day" (Wear your favorite college team attire) Thursday is "Revenge of the Nerds" (I'm doing this one...I think it's kinda mean) and Friday is "School Spirit Day."

And I'm thinking about finally trying to convince my mom to let me have blue hair...however I'm still working out a few details myself like:

1. Will my boyfriend still go out in public with me?
2. What about church? I wouldn't really even want to go to church with blue hair.
3. I would have to bleach my hair to get the shade of blue I want. And I love my hair. And I'm scared to bleach it.

YAY! Home for the weekend! Totally rad!

Hahah, been awhile, but my computer completely crashed a few weeks ago. Well umm got a new boyfriend and everything's going good in life right now. Plus got a 3 day weekend, so time to chill with my friends that are home for the weekend.

One more day-ish... I'll be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow at this time!

All righty then. As long as you know what you're doing, and that makes you happy. (I was just affirming that, that's all. )

Marriage to me is like the cement in a relationship. People have asked me that question before and I don't really have a good answer. I've just always wanted to get married and it has always seemed like a symbol of importance in a relationship - a way to finalize it, I guess.

And in this particular situation, it (a)proves to my parents and everyone else that we are not the typical high-school relationship (b)allows me to live with him, regardless of whether or not his rank gives him permission to live off base (c)gives me all kinds of benefits just because I'm married to him.

Now those last reasons are of little substance (except perhaps (b)) but they do add more to the argument, don't you think?

That's ridiculous.

I'm glad you see at least part of my thought. I wouldn't be able to judge completely; every case is unique. But generally it wouldn't work out at your age(s). And I would like to hear a tid bit about WHY you find it so necessary to get married... Is there something you find in marriage that is appealing, seeing how your name is Worth...? Or am I being a little perverted?

It came about because he had to write a paper for English last year about the future...and he usually lets me read them to correct them because that's his worst subject and my best subject....and he wouldn't let me read it. Originally, I think the whole "schedule thing" was because he wanted to wait until I graduated high-school but he also didn't want to wait a really long time. Now, though, it seems he has changed his mind about the first part which doesn't bother me.

I was talking to a friend at lunch today about it because a guy at our lunch table just randomly asked me, "Do you think you and __ are going to get married?" (I hadn't discussed all of this with him before.) And the my friend went as far as to ask me if I think I would get married while I was still in high-school. DEFINITELY NOT! That is just too much and I just don't think it would be a smart idea at all. I mean all the stuff that comes with high-school and then to add on to it an actual marriage before I even graduate???? That's ridiculous. No matter how much I love him, there is no way I'd do something like that.

....however, my mom even wants me to wait to get married until after my first four years of college which I definitely am not going to do for several reasons including the fact that I don't see why getting married would interfere with college, the fact that me and him will be together for six years by that time and we might as well be married by then, and just the fact that I don't want to have to wait that long.

Yeah I did originally mean how do you know about the proposal date-ish. If you ask me, it's a little weird to be on a schedule. It's almost like the whole "EJACULATE NOW, DAMMIT!" thing on one of the dozens of abortion threads.

Almost forgot... just another 2 days (and at this point I don't think I can wait too much longer; one of my professors is REALLY getting on my nerves...)

Oh, and I forgot to add my happy thought. My boyfriend actually got to call me last night and he gets to call me again tonight.

After that, he can't call me for 17 more days but I went 3 and 1/2 months without any phone calls so having two phone calls in the span of 19 days is like a dream come true.


And I just thought of something.....freedom, did you mean how do I know when he's going to propose? If so, I'll answer that too. He told me originally a while back that he had it planned out and that it was going to be between when I graduated and before we had been together for five years. Then he changed it to between when I graduated and by the end of my first year of college. And now all he has told me is that he thinks it's going to be sooner. And, no, it doesn't make it less exciting to know that...........but I could've written all of that for nothing anyway.

Are you sure it isn't moving too fast, Worth?

If I were someone on the outside, then I would. If I saw some 16 year old at my school already seriously thinking about getting engaged, I would think she was...crazy. But I know how it is for my relationship and it just feels right for both of us to think about that. Also, I have a friend who is a senior who got engaged with her boyfriend (who was a senior last year like mine) last year when she was a junior and they are still together and all that good stuff (he's in the Navy).

And how do you know?

I know this is the general answer everyone gives but it's true...you just know. I can imagine living with him and waking up next to him and being happy with him for the rest of my life. We are already so close (we share everything --- you couldn't name something that we haven't talked about unless it's something that doesn't really apply to us) and I just know I want to be with him and no one else.

Just another three days...

Yay for you!
