Wand, JGL, Hair

So, as promised, a picture of the wand that I made for a recent customer on Etsy!
They wanted the handle to look like an animal.
I plan on shipping it either tomorrow or Friday, depending on how things work out.  I'm a bit nervous about whether or not my customer will be pleased--- but the few people I've showed it to seemed to like it.

Anyway, today at the gym I had legs day, and while legs day is my favorite day it's probably the most challenging workout of the week.  For the past two weeks I've been working with this guy who is an ex university footballer for SFA (now he's a sports cameraman for a local news station) and he kicks my ass every leg day.  I only work legs with him, but he's offered to start working with me during shoulder days, but I don't know if I'm quite up for that yet.  Oh my gosh.  After working with him my muscles are on fire for the rest of the week.

I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm the most socially inept person on the face of the planet because anytime he talks I just have this "deer in the headlights" look.  I mean, it's so bad that other people have pointed it out to me.  Ugh.  I don't even know.

After my workout I went to the store and purchased some non-essentials I've been meaning to pick up--- Such as, the most recent issue of GQ because Joseph Gordon-Levitt was on the cover, a Girl Scout's Samoa Crunch candy bar, and blue hair dye. Yes, you read correctly.  Blue hair dye.  And a candy bar.  I deserved it after today's work-out.
As you can see, at the time this picture was taken I'd already devoured half the candy bar.
It was delicious.
But yes.  My hair.  Prior to this I've never dyed it, so this was a new experience for me.  I had to bleach my hair first because it was so dark, and that was a bit freaky.  I was kind of scared that I would somehow screw up dying it, but I'm actually pretty happy with the results!  I only dyed the bottom half of my hair, just in case I magically get a ship date and need to cut off all the colored bits.
Excuse the work-out clothes -.-
Needless to say, I feel pretty badass about my hair.  My dad was a bit shocked when I first told him I was going to do it, but when he saw my hair after it was dyed he said he was actually disappointed.... because it wasn't more blue.  I told him that I wanted it to be a deep Ravenclawish type of blue, but apparently he wanted my hair to be neon blue...  Oh dad.

So yeah.  I have blue hair now.  And the muscles in my ass are in pain.

How was your day? :P

  4. It should have been neon blue! Neon blue rocks. I do still like it though :) It looks better with the bottom half dyed than I think it would have looked with all blue. The wand looks great too, I'm sure whoever bought it would enjoy it :) If this guy is killing your legs, you could be better off without him for now. Well, better off without him going on the shoulders and such.

  6. Super rad-looking!! Both the wand and your hair, I mean.

    Perhaps you should go with the leg dude for shoulders...it'd be cool to finish your summer as a superhero-esque athlete!

  8. My sister has been regularly dyeing her hair for several years now, but my parents freaked out just the same when she wanted to start doing it.

    That wand is awesome. Seriously. When did you learn to whittle like that?

    1. It's actually not carved... it's more sculpted.

  9. Nice hair! It suits you :) I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but prepare for a shit storm from you recruiting officers.

    1. Yeah, I already thought of that, but I'll justify it by saying that I'm going to get it cut anyway, which is the truth.

  10. I think the wand, and the blue hair, are very exciting. I would like to do things like that, but I am too inhibited. What a great way to end a post though, by saying you have blue hair and pains in you rear end. An exciting day, all around.

  11. The wand and the hair are awesome! I'm thinking of dying my hair neon pink again, I'm badgering my mum for hair dye right now! :P x

  12. Don't worry, I have that same look too. Except I'll be staring in a completely different direction and I won't notice that someone is talking to me.

    I pass it off as being an asshole though, and not being social inept.

    Oh wait, that is a type of social ineptness. ._.

  13. Oh, well you're totally bad ass. I dyed a small section of the back of my head blue, almost a strand, and completely freaked! I called my sister crying and told her to fix it. lol. I'm a baby. :/
    It looks awesome! I'm jealous. xD
