I'm starting to think I got the wrong friends :D I know it's no biggie, I know people like that, too. I'm just surprised people my age actually think like this. So backward.
And thank you, my dear! I did go out and buy purple dye earlier. xD Hate being told you can't do that, I guess. Haven't figured out the bleach exactly yet, but I figure the hair's been pretty healthy and chemical-free for a long enough time now to risk it a bit. Funny, I realized i spend twice more time deciding whether to dye hair than get a damn tattoo. Never regretted my tattoos, either. Strange :D
