1. I currently have blonde streaks in my hair, because I got too tired last night to continue with the blue-dying procedure after the bleaching. Conclusion: I was never, ever meant to be a blonde. *amused* (Also, thanks to chaos_pockets for the helpful hairdying advice from months and months ago!)

2.This afternoon I had a moment of falling suddenly in love with a character in a book that I had been kind of meh about before. It is slightly disconcerting to go from 'eh, whatever' to 'YOU ARE AWESOMETASTIC' in the space of two lines. (I love you, Alec Checkerfield!) Does this happen to anyone else as re: fictional characters? Tell me stories!

It has happened to me! And then I apped her.

Look over here.

I was suspicious at first, because she was the only prominent female character in what was supposed to be a shonen manga (but I think more girls read it now, hahaha). She was whiny and annoying, and getting in the way of people's plans.

But then I discovered that she is sneaky and manipulative, and not as dumb as she acts. The 'helplessly in love' still boggles me, but what can you do.

'Sneaky and manipulative' is a good seller. Also the realization of not-quite-as-dumb-as-they-act.

. . . . she is assassin manga Dawn?

[jothra]

...I actually think she is much eviller than Dawn.

Or if not evil, then more morally flexible.

But the comparision is apt.

I actually think that, fond as I am of Dawn, she might even have been improved as a character by becoming an evil assassin-type. Everyone would be like, "Oh, noes, the First Evil has killed again!" And she would just twiddle her thumbs and whistle.

And yet, even though you are never meant to be a blond, people still are still visualizing you as so.

(I'm getting over it, really. There a just a few times that are still 'becca is a small blonde! wait, she's not')

Someday there will possibly be blonded!pics. And then you will be cured of this foolish notion. *solemn*
