It is a long process - mine grows decently fast - but it's a pain at times. Yes it is curly/wavy and loves to get in the way of things whenever it feels like it. >.< It was to the small of my back, and I cut it to donate - 10 1/2 inches - so it was to my shoulders - and now it's back to my shoulder blades, or so - like the bottom of them. So not too bad. :)

Oh, they never are. Yeah, she said it's one of the worst ones she's had in awhile. :(

Awww! Stupid cold!! =[ Go away, leave Chem alone! I was sick for about a month in January because I kept on relapsing. :( Colds definitely do suck!

Haha, what's funny is that I have straight hair when it dries and all I've ever wanted as some curl and waves, but people who have that always want straight hair.. Your hair is like a superhero compared to mine! It refuses to grow. XD

:c Meds will help!

I know.. everyone in my household is sick right now so it's just one big cough fest.

My hair when it's wet is dark and straight - it's weird, but then it dries into ringlets, and goes back to it's Strawberry Blonde colour. I just have confused hair. It can't seem to pick a color. :P I do have a straightener that'll leave it straight till I wash it again, which is nice, but I don't always have time - it's a decent straightener as well - it doesn't burn your hair, but uses natural oils in your hair. If that makes sense. =] It was kinda pricey, but it's amazing! =]
Lol - I've so noticed that - people with straight hair want curly, and curly haired people want straight! Yeah, my hair is crazy at times - at least it's past that awkward stage where it's in the middle of being short and long, and doing anything with it is just weird. >.< If that makes sense?

They better help!

Awww! I hope y'all feel better soon!!

hiya, guise!

Mine looks black when it's wet, but my hair is like a light walnut color.. Hair is weird haha.

One of my old roommates worked at one of those kiosks in the mall that sold the super expensive hair straighteners and she got a discount so she took one home. It was really cool at first! But.. about a month into using it, her amount of split ends had doubled compared to what her normal straightener did, and that's even with heat protectant massaged into her hair. D: It really varies between brands what a legitimately good straightener can do. XD

It totally makes sense, I grow my hair out often and I meet those awkward stages so many times.. yuck. Usually during the awkward phases I just wear wigs lol. They're pricey, but it saves me from having to look like I'm growing out a mullet! x - x

I'm sure we will. ^ - ^

Hello Hummy~! How are you? ^ - ^

Nice to meet you as well, Alchemic! :3 How are you?
Welcome to our thread~ It's a bit random sometimes, fair warning.

Hey Nemo and Hummy~ :o

Chem: Hair is weird! That's for sure!

I don't use it enough to know if that's what this one would do. I just use it every so often - usually when I'm bored and annoyed with the curls that try to control my life. *laughs* xD Which isn't all that often, I usually just throw my hair up in a ponytail and ignore it. :P

Oh, that's a good idea there! I never really look like that - I've never had it that short - although I did cut it shorter a few years back. >.< Never cutting it that short again. But I do love to wear hats. Hats are good too for covering up hair. :)

hummy and elluh: Hey there! =] How are you both doing?

I'm doing well, just getting ready for a movie night! :3 ..Hopefully, I'll have time for the mountain of homework my professors assigned to us. T . T;

How are you Nemo?

Elluh: that's good to hear! What movies are ya going to watch? And Professors do love to assign tons of homework, don't they?

I'm doing fairly well - over at a friends house, and she's trying to sleep off a headache. Hopefully the sleep plus the meds that she took will help! :) I'm currently trying to make myself work on my Camp NaNo novel... And failing. I'm lacing motivation to write this month. :(

Elluh ~ Sick, but meh. Sniffly and sneezing everywhere. :P Random is completely appreciated. ^ - ^

Nemo ~ Ponytails save my mornings so many days.. or just keeping my hood up so the only part people can see are my bangs. XD It's so much easier just to style the front of my hair instead of going through crazy shenanigans just to look proper for work and shopping. x - x I'm not a hat person, so I think I have about fifteen hoodies I can wear on any given day haha.

I think I finally decided on a final avatar! I just need to load it up to the internet somehow and I can show you.. lol.

how's everyone doing?

Nemo ~ There, finally figured it out haha. I went a little overboard with the horns, but it gives me something to work toward. XD



Hey Hummy ~

Chem: Oh, same here! I went looking for a picture of me with my hair down, and that's so hard to find - most pictures of me are ones with my hair up! XD I'm usually not a hat person, but one of my besties made me a crocheted hat, that I love that gets worn in the winter as it's super warm, and then I have a hat that I just bought that I love so I tend to go between those two right now. Lol! XD

Oh, yay! That's great! :D I love what you have on so far! And that background is do pretty!! :D

Edit: Oh, I like it!! Definitely nice to have a goal to work towards, that's for sure! ^_^

hummy: I'm doing ok, thanks! How're you?

Haha, I understand the super warm thing. I guess I forgot about my little beanie that I wear.. it's about the only hat I can pull off. XD

Thankies! I just wanted to get a basic look down before I moved onto anything else, and that oriental garden item or whatever it's called makes my avatar not look so horribly bare. :P I love nature and it just seemed fitting!

I rarely can pull off hats - but thankfully my bestie knows my fave colours and worked around those, so that I can pull it off with quite a few outfits. ^_^

Ah, I totally can get ya there. And I did think of getting that CI, but I don't know if I'd ever use it. =] It really is a nice calm peaceful item, that's for sure! I love taking photos of nature.

Almost everything I wear is black so it's not hard to match things for me. :P My usual outfit is some sort of black shirt, a hoodie or my beanie (which, oddly enough, is purple, not green XD) if I'm too lazy to do my hair, and jeans. Unfortunately when I went in to make my avatar look as much like me as possible, I didn't realize there would be so many green and black things that I wouldn't normally wear but look super cool on an avatar. @ u @ Hehe..

If it weren't for bugs and cold weather, I'd be outside all of the time! I love looking at nature photos. ^ - ^ I don't have a camera that's nearly good enough but there are some pictures I found online that are just ridiculously breathtaking.. I wonder if I can find one of them...

---------- Post added 04-06-2013 at 12:52 PM ----------

Found it! Careful, though, it's a pretty big/HD image. < - <

cute avi, Alie

Oh, I can see that being easy to match. =] Sometimes it's fun to add things to your online avatars that you normally wouldn't wear. =]

Awww! It definitely does help to have a decent camera, that's for sure! My parents bought me a decent camera this past summer and I'm in looooove with it!! My deviantArt is in my signature, if you're interested in looking at some of my photos. =] If you can find those photos, let me know! I wanna see!

Edit: OMG! That is GORGEOUS!!!! So beautiful!

IS it sad that I'm willing to join instagram just because one of my fave actors has it, and keeps tweeting about it on twitter? Haha!

breath taking, Alie

Thanks Hummy~ :3

Nemo ~ Exactly, I totally fell for the assassin outfit, but I didn't want to make my whole avi just that so I brought in the stockings and such.

I have the camera on my iPhone and that's about it haha. Oooh, that's what the dA was for! I was too lazy to click it but didn't know what it was about haha.

Right?! I love that picture.. there are so many other ones. It's in a forum called EarthPorn which is just a huge list of amazing pictures people have taken from all over the world. A lot of them are like that, too, where they're super HD and feel like you're actually standing there, lol.

That's not sad at all! I joined Twitter to see what a few of my favorite actors posted too, until I realized some of them weren't likely to have frequent posts. Like, really.. how often is Alan Rickman going to take time out of his day to give an update to a bunch of teens and twenty-somethings? Haha. Who are you following that's inspiring your instagram join?

---------- Post added 04-06-2013 at 01:00 PM ----------

Hummy ~ I thought so too. ^ - ^ It makes me want to get out of my apartment and enjoy nature, but.. not in this weather. XD

Chem: Lol! You could always get it and play around with it later? =]

I have my iTouch camera and then my decent big bulky camera that takes amazing pictures, that I love! =] *lol* No worries! =] I was trying to save room in my signature by shortening it. =]

That is just gorgeous! I 'stole' it and set it as my laptop desktop for now - let's see how long it stays there. :P

Haha, that's the reason I joined Twitter too! And I'm following John Barrowman. He frequently tweets too, it's pretty brilliant! He's brilliant and I love him, why does he have to be Gay?

Random fact about a family member of mine that has to do with Alan Rickman: my mom's brother - my uncle - has met him. :P

Fair enough! I'm sure if I went on the website often enough I would have recognized the abbreviation, but I'm not a frequent visitor.. but when I do go on there I'm stuck for like two hours just looking at how much more talent everyone has than I do. XD

Haha I change my desktop background a couple of times a day.. I have way too many pictures saved just for that. I wouldn't be heartbroken if you found something more awesome to replace it with. :3

Blame his genes lol! Darn things.. then again, I'd love for Emma Watson to be gay so I'd have a chance, but I'm restricted to daydreaming since she's so darn straight. XD

Really! Lucky!! I hear that he's very charming.. a typical gentleman. Which makes sense. The only thing that sucks is that no matter how awesome most actors are on screen, some tend to be super dry in conversations like interviews and such. Except for this.. this made me laugh so hard ~ (It's a YouTube video)

you should have entered that in RAK's first talent contest!

Talent contest? O - O Eh?

Ah, got ya, and I know the feeling, definitely! I'm a self taught photographer, so I don't have the talent that some have.

Lol! Most of my desktops tend to be photos that I've taken. *laughs* I've got so many! I used to change it often, but some days I just find one that I have to have for awhile and then I go and change it again. :P
Up till now, my desktop was a picture of Lake Tahoe I took on my mom's birthday weekend.

Haha, oh, I do - but he and his partner as so darned adorable together! Plus he's freaking old! Well - not really - he's 46. Which is like 22 years older than me. *laughs* :P He just looks really good for his age! Both him and Scott, his partner, look amazing for their ages!

But awww! Yay for day dreams though, right? :)

Yeah, I'm jealous of him too! And I think that's what I love about JB (Barrowman) because what you see is what you get and what you see is a guy who loves to have fun and be jokey but can be serious if it really calls for it. But he's just brilliant! Plus the fact that he is Scottish - doesn't always talk in a scottish accent though - long story - but he does slip back into it sometimes. It's pretty awesome!
