Jan. 2nd, 2002 11:10 pmhehe, i just finally listened to the livejournal song by mirrors on shoes it's very catchy, they should sell it to beck. in one of the responses someone called
deadmonkey wants to do a 'death/thrash' version of it.
the song is such that it could be redone in just about any style so i hope several people do so, is rather nifty.

when nadin found out she was coming here for the holidays we spoke on the phone and she asked me if i'd do braids for her again
now, with as tiring and time consuming as it is, i have not done braids/extensions for anyone other than myself in several years, not a whole head at least. i was going to attempt to do the rest of cyd's head one visit. but the braids were so tiny and my brain just rebelled
the longest i did was for a former roommate called jamie, she only had a mohawk. but her hair was soo damn thick that it took twice as long as nadin's entire head.
the very WORST was a roommate/girlfriend who wanted thicker braids than really worked for her very straight hair, so - as i had warned her - the ends stuck out, and she got pissy and took them all out when i was 3/4ths the way done, grrrrrr
to be fair; the most fun was for a friend named amber who had long thin black hair, it was easy to braid and she wanted lots of random fun things in it, coloured embroidery floss, random beads and danglys.
however i had forgotten to explain to her that it's normal for a tiny bit of your own hair to come out with the braids when removed. because your hair sheds a certain amount a day and when in braids it's got nowhere to go. so she called me in a panic when she took them out. :)
anyhow, the point being, NOW there are two ways to get me to do braids/extensions for you; 1) i have to like you A LOT (or you put out), or 2) you have to pay me A LOT
so, nadin isn't paying me and she's not putting out, hehe, you do the math ;)
so on Saturday bobcat will be being babysat by grandmother again and nadin is going to come by early and we're going to TRY to do it all in one day. so since we're doing it here instead of at her sister's as previously discussed, it'll be easy for me to get pictures of the braids
=D
