Hair is on your head . . . unless you are bald
As far as colors go I like just about everything. I like both natural and dyed hair. the only hair color I'm not a fan of is the one I had until I dyed it a month ago. It was dirty blonde and, no offense to anyone with dirty blonde hair, I found it really boring. I like it the color it is now though. It's kind of auburn and I think it's pretty. For hair textures I like mainly curly hair. Corkscrew curls are so pretty and I wish I had them. I don't mind straight hair but everyone has it so I wouldn't straighten my hair and become one of the mass of preppy popular people. I like a lot of different lengths of hair too. I currently have short hair but i am thinking about growing it out because I've had it short for almost two years now. Again though, long hair is popular so I'm going to have to find something else to do with my hair, other than just growing it. I like a lot of styles of hair but it really depends on the person. I love the way dread locks look and when they are done well I think they are amazing. However when they are done poorly they look absolutely terrible. In general it is much easier for African people to make dread locks look good. They just have the right kind of hair or something. I don't know what it is exactly. But I wish I had the right kind of hair for dread locks and then I would in a heartbeat. If anyone of my many millions of nonexistent readers know how to make dreadlocks for a white girl that don't look terrible, please post a comment of how and I will love you forever.
That's all and now I'm going to go do something productive with my time, like watching TV.

How are you?
Exiting things have been happening recently! I have sprained my ankle (I think, there is no official report yet) and I have fulfilled my lifetime dream of owning a pair of crutches. The handles are the squishiest things you have ever seen but I am not enjoying the whole not being able to use my right foot and it feels funny and numb because all it does is hang there all day. I must get to writing some random stuff about Gilgamesh and ancient Mesopotamian culture.
Have a nice life!

Drama out the Wazoo

Yes, it's been a while
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (If you don't have almond extract and it really expensive so you don't want to buy any, just double the vanilla and it is still really good)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
Today I am also going to write a very brief review for all of the movies I watched last night and this morning.- Gnomeo and Juliet: Romeo and Juliet with garden gnomes. Cute and pretty funny but not spectacular.
- Happy Gilmore: A hockey player joins the pro golf tour to get enough money to get his grandmother's house back because she hasn't paid taxes in years. Love this movie! Absolutely hilarious!
- Love Actually: Romantic comedy about a bunch of people who all have interlocking stories. Really cute and funny and sweet, the kind of movie that makes your head want to explode from the adorableness.
- Barbie- A Mermaid Tale: I personally love Barbie movies, mainly because they are so stupid. This one might have been the stupidest Barbie movie so far, and that is saying something! Surfer girl/mermaid princess!
- Nancy Drew: I like this movie very much at two thirty in the morning, it was also pretty stupid but no where near as stupid as Barbie. I think if I had watched it at another time of day it wouldn't have been as funny, but I liked it.
- Howl's Moving Castle: I am a total anime nerd so obviously I love this movie. I have seen it a million times and if you don' know the story (if you haven't read the book or seen the movie) you really should see this movie. Sweet, romantic, and really awesome.
- How Can You Know?: It looked like an okay movie but I kept falling asleep because it was around six in the morning. If you watch five minutes of a movie and then sleep for ten to fifteen minutes any movie can suddenly become really confusing.
- Casino Royale: The first James Bond movie that I have ever seen. I really liked it. It just seemed that most of the movie was a very sweaty James Bond running after cars or fighting people. In a good way . . . My only problem with it was the ending. It had a little bit of a Lord of the Rings ending. You think it's over but then there's more, it ends, there's more, and when you think it is finally over there is just a little bit more. I thought it was going to end about six times before it actually ended.
