Change is good?

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm an obsessive Tori Amos fan (insert excitement of the new album coming out in one month!!!), thus brings me to the "Change is good?" caption sort of.

Her song "Take To The Sky", one of the B-side songs off her first album has a line in it.."I dyed my hair red today, I'm just looking for some passion, to hold me in the dark, I know I've got some magic buried deep in my heart."

Cryptic much? Sure, but keep in mind, I've been a faker red-head for some time now (and I loved it), and on a whim last week, I bought a different colour..to "spice" things up so to speak. Wait for the magic of chemically goodness and in 1/2 an hour, you too can change your life!

Did I dye my hair red today? Nope, I went "Butternut", a stupidly named colour evoking images of squash...lovely. Hmmm...I'm getting hungry and spaghetti squash sounds really good right now, maybe even soup?...sorry, I'm digressing...what was I saying? Right...please read on.

None of these companies give their damned haircolours normal names like Blonde, Auburn, Black or Brown anymore (that's so 2006!), no, they all have to be named after food! Berry, Licorice, Pomegranate, Sugar Cane, Chocolate Caramel..pretty pretentious if you ask me. Well, this colour looked blonde on the package, even said so underneath the food name (medium natural blonde, yeah thanks for clarifying that). Turned out more or less what it said, only I still have a bit of red, so that showed through and now Quincy and I match almost exactly. I did this as two people in my life (Marilyn and Roger) have been nagging me to go back to blonde now for as long as I've been faking my Scully tresses. Don't get me wrong, I didn't do this for them, but the satisfaction knowing they will stop pestering me for a little while makes me happy.

A drastic change for me sure, I noticed...nobody else did. Grumble grumble.
