Orange hair and burning test tubes.

On Saturday, I went to the Bullring. Y’know, the place in Birmingham, big shiny buildings, lots of tourists… etc. I walked around for a bit and went to the Oasis (punk/rock/emo/whatever type clothes place) and saw some orange hair dye. I said to my friend “I’ll look like Hayley Williams from Paramore if I dye my hair orange”. I was joking initially, and then she gave me the “I dare you” look. And lo, I dyed my hair orange.
It looks pretty cool.
Pictures? Yes, of course, you want pictures. Duh.

I look a bit like a box of tic-tacs with that orange hair and those green eyes.
I still find that amusing, even though I’ve told that to about fifty people who don’t find it funny at all (:
And in case you were wondering, my hair was blonde

We were breaking down long chain hydrocarbons (whatever that means) in chemistry today, and we were reacting paraffin with something. There was a crack in our boiling tube and the (highly flammable) gas we were making (by heating the mixture over a Bunsen burner flame) escaped. You can probably guess what happened next. Test tube on fire. I actually thought it was hilarious. We shouted to the teacher “MISS THE TEST TUBE’S ON FIRE” but she ignored us. Some teacher, eh? We blew the fire out (somehow) and about five minutes later she came up to us and said “did you say your test tube was on fire?” Reminds me of that episode of the IT crowd with the fire, and Moss sends an email to someone instead of calling 999.

I also got my SATs results back for English, Maths and Science. All level seven (the highest), with the exception of English Reading, which I got level six in. My overall English level was still seven, though.

I plan on changing the layout sometime. I have a design, but all my patterns, styles and shapes that I made for this layout (which I want to use) are cached in Photoshop CS3, which won’t load anymore because the trial has run out. Meh.

Limewire, Tish.

Anyway, wow, looks awesome. I prefer your natural colour though. Dye it black, that’d be awesome. Or leave it orange and put black streaks in it.

The orange really suits you! I will dye my hair orange… one day.

Fires in science class are always fun Your teacher is really slow, though! My teacher always appears at the scene of the accident.

Congrats on your high SATs results!

The colour is nice. Anyway, I think I prefer your natural one (my hair is blonde, dark blonde, but still…)
I’ve only seen one chemical reaction in my life - the teacher was burning magnesium. They don’t let us do any reactions ourselves at school in Poland… (I think they fear we’ll blow up whole school if we’re too near the fire ^^)

Oh, the hair is nice. I would die my hair, but that would involve bleaching my hair, since it’s black. Darn you people with blonde hair, you guys have it easy when it comes to dying hair. If I could colour my hair, I would have to make it a sort of light brown, that would be very interesting…
