I’m frustrated with my hair. I love that it’s so long but it costs a fortune to maintain. That is unless I just want to leave it completely natural. To dye my hair costs me about 70 euros. To dye it with streaks as well is about 115 euros. That sucks!! I’m so tired of the red, I’ve had it for over a year now and it’s no longer “Wild and funky” feeling, it’s normal and bland. My natural color is a dark brown, doesn’t get more plain than that. I crave change, I am absolutely yearning to change my hair. I really want to dye it black with wild purple streaks. Something really different… but at that price? *Sigh* How do I spend that on my hair when I keep thinking it’s 1/2 a ticket to Turkey, a week’s groceries, a printer! All the things I could spend that money on but don’t just to do my hair?!Then again, isn’t that just part of being a woman? It’s not like I spend a fortune on clothes, I am still wearing shoes I bought 10 years ago, I am not really all that high maintenance.
Ok, time out. It’s 10:14 now and I got sidetracked.
Xander and I biked over to my doctor this morning to go pick up the papers for our tests. I guess they’re called fertility tests. God who ever though I’d be having those, I’m feeling so old. Anyway, while we were there I noticed the hairdresser next door and decided to stop in and ask them about my hair. They are quite a bit cheaper but for what I want done I have to aslo buy this hair paint stuff I have to wash my hair with to keep the purple vibrant. So it comes up to about 30 euros cheaper or something. That’s with this bottle of stuff which I’ll only have to buy once. So the upkeep should be MUCH cheaper. Anyway, this is why I started petsitting, so I could have spare money for these kinds of things without feeling guilty about spending money that should go to other things. I need a chaaaange. So, I go next Thursday for the big change! I’m so excited!
We went to the beach again this weekend, to Hoek van Holland. Xander and I thought we’d be really clever this time, after having to walk forever to get to the beach last time. We took our bikes! It was a little bit of a pain getting the bikes on and off the trains and stuff but we figured it would pay off once we got there and we could get to the beach in just a few minutes. When we got off the train at Hoek van Holland, this little blue train was waiting to take people right up to the beach. I stopped dead in my tracks and said “you’ve GOT to be kidding me!” The guy wasn’t there the last time! argh! Anyway it was nice to go biking around the beach though, so I wasn’t too fussed, and it was still way better than all those people walking along in the heat. We had a great day swimming and lazing around in the sun. The water was quite bit colder than it was a few weeks ago but we still got in there. I love the beach sooooo much.
Another example of how stupid people can be.. Today I was on irc talking to some friends about my appointment at the hospital for our tests (September 23rd). One of the guys messaged me telling me that he’ll keep his fingers crossed for us that everything is ok. He wasn’t aware that Xander and I were trying to get pregnant so I told him about it. I explained that we’ve been trying for almost a year, and that I had a miscarriage back in March. He went on to tell me how much he loves children and how he can relate because he and his ex-girlfriend had gone through 3 (yes THREE) abortions. This boggled my mind, how someone could compare me losing a pregnancy to their terminating three. He went on to tell me how traumatizing it was for them, but I couldn’t help but scoff and ask if it was so traumatizing, why did it happen twice more? Anyway I won’t go into too much about what was said but I was not impressed in the least. What kind of person has 3 abortions by the time they are 20 years old? How do they not learn from their mistakes? WHY is this not kept track of by their doctors or the insurance/welfare systems to not allow this kind of behavior?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the idea of abortion. I can understand that people get themselves into situations that they feel this is their only option. One abortion, fine.. people make mistakes, that’s forgivable. When people abuse it and use it as an alternate form of birth control, that gets my back up. I say after the first one, if it happens again.. sterilize them or make them PAY for the procedure. Stop making it so damn easy! Ok sterilization may be extreme, but really.. do we want these people to continue breeding? I sure as hell don’t.
Oh well, may their ovaries shrivel up and fall out, I say. Greedy, immature, selfish, irresponsible twits. Oh, and may he never be able to achieve an erection again… seeing as the men are hardly innocent in these situations. No pity.
Jeez it’s 12:49 in the afternoon now. Takes me ages to actually get around to writing these blogs. haha
