2013 has been such.....taxing year for me and I'm finally starting to pick up the pieces. I got a new job that is good enough to keep me stable as a student can be, which brings me up to the fact that I've been planning on transferring schools. The applications have been paid and all I need to do send over the paperwork, however it will be a taxing few years paying off my old school. Hopefully I'll be starting in the fall. Word of advice private schools suck you don't have a full scholarship. Just stay away...
The end of year has been the year of me experimenting with my looks. I took a leap and bleached my hair, initially I actually wanted to get it professionally done but working part time and having financial responsibilities hinders plans thus lead me to choice of doing it myself. After doing practically a month of research, via Tumblr and Youtube, I bought myself a 30 volume cream developer, 2 packs of powdered bleach, an application brush, gloves, and plastic caps. My goal was to get a nice orange blonde color at the shaft to the tips and made sure my hair was well oiled a few days before to not over process the hair. It took over an hour and half to fully get everything and I'm glad I bought 2 packs of bleach since I basically used it all up. Granted the back isn't as light at the front but it's not too noticeable without closer inspection. The end result is actually quite pretty and now I"m considering doing my whole head and maybe even try pastel colors lilac. Bleach is harsh and it means I will have to moisturize my hair twice as much if I want to retain length, and keep my ends protected to get longer. This pic is of a simple stretch of a few days wearing chunky twist. It's about a 3 inches longer when blow dried and I hope I can get it past shoulder length by next year.
I have been working on a few reviews and hope will most likely be be getting them out to you by tonight, I'm determined this year to get a review out at least every week but there may be day when it takes two weeks. As for the stories I've been writing will come at sporadic dates. I hate to be inconsistent but I have so many idea but lacked the drive (and someday still do) to start or complete them. No one is going to write them but me and I have only myself to blame for not being as productive as I should be. Like the books I review many will be of the romance or erotica ("romantica" if you like both) but I do have a large project with Master of Shadows, which I have not stopped writing. Also I've gotten back into drawing comics, you blame my love for manga and new chapters of Junjou Romantica for that.
Be on the look out for reviews I will be doing on some of my favorite authors such as Lena Mathews, Eve Vaughn, and Bridget Midway. See you soon.
