splinteredstarThank you for comments and all. My mood is all over the place lately.
I spent the day with best friend and we raided a bookstore today. I bought way more young adult fantasy than I probably should have,being in that mood, but oh well. Currently reading a book called Article 5 by Kristen Simmons, which is a part of an apparent rash of dystopian books. I love dystopias, mind, but trend books are always questionable. Also this book is trying very hard to be an updated version of The Handmaiden's Tale by Margret Attwood. Which isn't really a thing that needs updated.
I also got I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (I have never seen so obviously a fake name), which I've heard good things about for a while; The Alchemyst by Michael Scott, which has caught my eye for frankly years; Little Brother by Cory Doctorow - wait, I just now noticed the author's name. I got it because Neil Gaiman recommended it. Go attention span. And I got Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Random Riggs. Because it looks wonderful and creepy and about freak show children.
I dyed my hair black! I have never dyed my hair before. But I bought a box of black on a whim and best friend helped me dye it.
apparently it's not a major switch. So there's that. Though I keep going "...*pat pat* is this my hair."
School starts on Monday. Spending time not thinking about that.
See you all!

Yours is generally red, right?

Nowadays I sort of go cyclically through blue, purple, and greenish-blue. At the moment, it's blue, and I'm a bit disappointed but not surprised by how dark the dye I got as filler is. Gonna buy some brighter stuff for next time, methinks.
