The side effects of prom hair


Now that I am revived and on a normal sleep schedule, I am back again to blog :). Not much has happened since Sunday night, it’s been great haha! Monday morning I slept until 10, I love saying that. It was so “not productive”. I needed it. I had high school in the afternoon, of course. That was a snooze.. Same people, same place, different work sheet, different chapter. I think the shorter amount of time I’m at school for, the longer it seems. My eyes move to the clock on the wall almost the instant I sit down. Tuesday, Andrew had an eye appointment in Utica. It was at 9 and since Utica has a mall I went along for the trip ;). I had some skirts to return and I had Victoria’s Secret free panty coupons. On the way back, we stopped for lunch. I was so incredibly full as we drove home, I couldn’t possibly function enough to go to school. I mean it’s a bore as it is, but throw in a full stomach and a crazy sleep schedule from 2 nights before? No thank you. Some how some way I convinced my mother that I can make up any work I miss in less than an hour, which is practically true, and she let me stay home. I don’t know why Andrew got to stay too, but I think it was an all or nothing deal. My parents were preoccupied with the new Realtor, they’ve changed the price on our house AGAIN and are insisting we will have a sale in 30 days. I hope they’re right, but I can’t help but feel they’re being completely unrealistic. I don’t know why anyone would want to move here, with the crappy schools and the small town bull. I love our house, that isn’t the issue at all… I just think I would be scared to move to a town where half the houses in it are for sale.

Today I was much more productive than my last 2 days, and it’s already 12 oclock. Ogg (my baby brother) has the nerve to wake me up at 8, and I’ve been going ever since. My mom has been packing stuff in boxes, I made an 8 page list of all the stuff I am going to need for college.. but I just realized I forgot to put an iHome on there so maybe the list will get longer.  I set up my debit card so I can check the amount on it through an app on my phone, I set up a savings account *GASP*, I got myself looking put together and fabulous in my new Ann Taylor patchwork blazer, and even breathed every once in a while. The only thing I wish I could’ve done but didn’t?? Gotten rid of prom hair.

I believe prom hair is a real thing. I’ve washed my hair like 20 times since prom and it won’t go back to it’s original form. I blew it dry, straightened it.. used conditioner, didn’t use conditioner, tried 3 different shampoos, and scrubbed with my fingers. Nothing is working. I cannot get the bottle of hairspray out of my hair. At least I can say that bottle of hairspray was worth it, my hair looked great.. but the aftermath? Is gross! I feel like I can’t get my hair completely clean. This was another reason I was excused from attending highschool yesterday afternoon.

I looked up some ideas online for curing said prom hair and I’ve decided because lemon juice didn’t work last year and I’m out of carbonated water (2 methods) I might need to try Apple Cider Vinegar. *BLAHHH*

Cue the gagging noise.

I hate apple cider vinegar. Just the 3 words next to each other sound repulsive. I can’t be on the 1st floor of the house when my parents decide to clean the coffee maker with it, and I refuse to gargle with vinegar of any type when my throat is sore.. but that’s how bad my hair is. My roots are growing in -already- and I don’t need to draw any more attention to that with additional hair spray and grease. UGHHHH.

If anyone has any brilliant ideas, I may pay the $15 and get a macadamia mask and renewal hair treatment on Saturday.

Pretty soon I’ll have sunk $300 dollars into this head of mine. Smh.

Playing the same song over and over has to mean something.


I go through phases, where the thirty-second time I play a song, it still doesn’t bother me. Actually I’ll really really like it! And it’s weird because these songs can be on total opposite ends of the spectrum, but they are relateable. Today’s song is A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. It’s so cute :). Not sure if relateable, but we’re getting there (;

Anyways, tonight has been really nice. Really relaxing. Really out of the ordinary. I didn’t work, I finished my homework early. I’ve soaked up the warm weather and now I’m just giggling at inside jokes with friends. It’s so nice to relax.

Today I wore floral flats, coral shorts from J Crew, and a navy peterpan collared tank. No jewelry, which I regret, but I didn’t have much time this morning. I slept too late, per usual.

I’m getting my hair fixed tomorrow. I just can’t adjust to it. I need something more, it doesn’t feel finished to me. I’m either getting the bottom dyed the same blond highlights (cuz I’m OCD about matchy matchy, and I cannot wear my hair up without feeling like one of those trashy blonde on top brown on bottom girls -no offense to anyone-) or get it chopped up to a bob. IT’S SO SCARY.

Well, I’ve gone from A Thousand Years to Run This Town by Jay Z, Kanye, and Rihanna. Obviously my mind is all over the place…

Which takes me back to the ever lasting college discussion. My mind has been on Savannah all day, but who knows what I’ll choose after Saturday.

I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR.

It’s going to be 55, which is practically unimaginable when it’s been 75 here for the last few days!! So, I guess I have to wear jeans…

And it’s not going to rain so I can’t wear my sperry rain boots… *sigh*

They’re pink and green. And beautiful. And preppy, in every way. The way they make my feet get blisters, is the inner preppy bitch in them. But I don’t learn, I make the same mistakes and wear them anyways.

And that’s not cuz I’m a prep.

That’s because I’m a teenager. And I can have a 4.0 in college while balancing high school and college, but I still have to be stupid every once in a while.

Duh.
