All cats are grey

I never realized how much I like the weather in San Diego. I've been beating the idea of living somewhere that actually has seasons into my brain for the past 5 years that I kind of began to reflexively hate it here. But after spending a ridiculously hot weekend in Arizona, I basically cried at how fucking perfect the weather was upon my return home. I went to Yuma, AZ with my boyfriend and his family. It was on Lake Martinez, and we spent the day in the sun on the water. I thought I'd be black by the time I got home, but I got a moderate bronze. Junk.

September 1st is rapidly approaching. "What's happening on September 1st?" you ask? The day I get my hair dyed fo' free. I got asked to do another photo shoot with the same lady as before, and I'm gonna get my color done the day before. But should I go darker or lighter?? There's a girl who I've stalked on lookbook for like a year, and I recently came across her blog. I am SUPERMEGAULTRA jealous of her perfect Finnish skin, and it makes me want to be pale again. 

Grrr. Anyway, she has black hair and wears black extensions like I used to. I really want to wear LaShondra again (my extensions as a collective...that's her name) because I feel really confident and good in them. But on the other hand, lighter hair is what I've kind of wanted for a while, and once I go black, it's hard to go back, chemical wise. Thoughts anyone?? I am really anxious to wear my extensions again, but not so sleek and perfect this time around. The girl pictured above always has messy hair, and it works. I want to try that.

Whatever. I loved my black hair, and feel most like ME with it. I can always go light later. So i guess now the question is...black or dark brown?? 

Ugh. Indecisivity (is not a word but who cares) will be the death of me.

HOT- Rosa's blog

NOT- My roots right now. I won't blind you all. But dark ash blonde against light red...not okay.

PS- I'm on lookbook finally. Hype it, yo.
