I was a blonde for 5 hours.

[BlondieK143]

(really bad highlighting experience that I don't even want to go into).

I've decided brunettes definitely have more fun. :) So now my hair is back to (almost) the original color with a tiny little bit of red mixed in. :D

[cleofus1]

1. mmmmmmmm....

will we ever see a picture?

[BlondieK143]

3. Well, I took one.

but it looks really odd since I did it with my camera phone. You can't even really tell the severity. :D

[ET Awful]

21. You'll see pictures after next week. I guarantee it.

I will make sure of it personally :)

[BlondieK143]

23. Hey now!

:P

[ET Awful]

34. Unless she tells me not to, in which case we'll just take pictures of

some random homeless crazy lady and say it's BlondieK just to throw off the bloodhounds :).

Note: This is NOT a slam against random homeless crazy ladies :)

[cleofus1]

36. that'll do wonder for her self image...

and of course no one would actually believe it was blondie:*

[BlondieK143]

38. hehe

:blush: You men are too sweet to me.

[BlondieK143]

37. Riiiiight.

:rofl: I think I might just stick with the pictures. I'm a camera whore anyway.

[cleofus1]

24. oooooh baby....

the frivolous and persnickety part of my psyche is quivering in anticipation!

[ffm172]

2. getting ready for the trip next week huh?

how are you :hi:

[BlondieK143]

4. Ha! That's not what I had in mind.

I've had some reallllly bad kharma this week (tore half of my nail off, got punched in the face - long story -, and had a reallly bad week at work). So needless to say, the hair was just icing on the cake. Other than that, I'm good. How about you?

[ffm172]

5. doing fine

had a chat with my bf last night :D

how did your job thing work out?

[BlondieK143]

6. That's good!

Glad that you got to talk to him. How's he doing?

And it worked out better than I had anticipated. I still have my job, but the next time I mess up, it's over.

[ffm172]

9. that is good

now you learned and won't make that mistake again

It was great to talk to him. He is doing ok. It is not as bad as he expected it. We will chat again. We talked for an hour, it felt like a minute

[BlondieK143]

10. See, everything's going to be just fine.

:) It'll just take ALOT of patience.

[ffm172]

11. really ALOT of patience

I had my webcam on so he saw me, but he didn't had a webcam :cry:

Did you hear from your marine?

[BlondieK143]

13. Sure haven't.

(BTW, at least he got that picture of you in his mind!)

The marine hasn't called or wrote or anything, so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm here if he needs me and that's all I can do. I'm enjoying my life and won't stop that because of a man (even if he is miles and miles away). I've developed a really close relationship with someone I dated a year ago and he's actually restoring my faith in the male species.

[ffm172]

16. oh yes he has the pic of me in mind

and not only an innocent one :evilgrin:
It was so cute, when I turned on the cam he wrote "hey beautiful" ... sigh.

sorry that he hasn't gotten in contact but you are doing the right thing. Now tell me about that other guy :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

17. LOL!

You're so bad! :D

The other guy is...well...I don't really know what to say. I stay at his place all the time, we have GREAT political talks, and we genuinely enjoy each other's company. We dated a year ago (I met him off the radio when I co-hosted a show) and he broke up with me, twice. So, we didn't talk for about 3 months, then he started calling again. Every since, we've been really close. It's nice. :) He's the one that took me to the concert where I was punched.

[ffm172]

19. and you call me bad?

what concert was it? and how bad did you bahave that you got punched? Do I have to watch I am saying now? Do I need to warn Freebird? :hide:

[BlondieK143]

25. LOL!

I didn't behave badly at all! Scroll down the posts. And it was the Chevelle concert (which, btw, they kick ass!). I've never actually gotten into a fist fight in my entire life, so you're okay.

[ffm172]

26. you never had a fist fight?

not even as a kid? I remember that I got in a couple of fights with other girls.

[BlondieK143]

27. Nope.

I'm a very easy going person and I HATE confrontation. :)

[ffm172]

28. well I hate confrontations also

and I consider myself easy going as well. I get along with most people I met. And I am even nice to people I don't like, just a bit colder. Of course I have to be polite around people at my work even if they are totally arrogant or nasty.

I hate to argue and I am very happy that my bf and I barely have arguments and that he dislikes to argue also.

[BlondieK143]

29. That's good!

Arguments in relationships definitely suck. Though sometimes it's necessary. :)

[ffm172]

30. I am sure we will have our share

at the moment I enjoy having a bf I get along so well with.

[BlondieK143]

32. :)

Well, he'll be back before you know it!

[ffm172]

35. that is another way to stay away from fights

being seperated half of the year ... lol

[cleofus1]

7. post it anyway....

i'm bored and curious to see what you look like....

got to get back to work soon so post it quick!O8)

[BlondieK143]

8. Nah, that's okay.

:D There are better pics of me around here.

[cleofus1]

12. no way...

mmmmm...i can't believe i missed them...
you never said what you thought of the old pic i posted of me and my brothers and sisters...

ps glad you got to keep your job!

[BlondieK143]

14. Photobucket won't let me sign in right now.

But you can hunt sniffa down and ask for a good one.

And I really like the ones that you posted! That thread dropped off before I could post anything else.

(and thanks, me too!)

[BlondieK143]

39. HERE YA GO.

Didn't say I didn't warn you! :D I'm a bit of a dork!

[ffm172]

40. it is a beautiful pic

and I bet all guys will be all over you at the DU meeting.

[BlondieK143]

42. HA!

I highly doubt that one! :D I'm a thick girl and guys tend to not like thick girls.

But thank you anyway!

[Huckebein the Raven]

44. Madame you are wrong

:loveya:

[BlondieK143]

45. *blush*

You are waaay too kind to me! :blush:

[Huckebein the Raven]

46. What do you mean ?

[ffm172]

47. are you going to the meeting?

haven't asked you yet

[Huckebein the Raven]

52. Sadly no

I wish I could

:cry:

[ffm172]

56. wish I could too

but I am somewhat too far away to make a weekend trip to Boston

[Huckebein the Raven]

64. Yeah, just a tad

:D

[ffm172]

65. a short jump over the water

wish it was possible

[Huckebein the Raven]

66. Wish we still had something like the Concord

Of course it was very expensive. I don't know why a successor wasn't not developed. Cost probably.

[ffm172]

76. costs are most likely

and there aren't many who can afford it

[BlondieK143]

49. Just not used to it.

Sometimes I wonder if DUers are smoking crack. :D They seem to be the only ones to compliment me.

[cleofus1]

51. gave up drugs and liquer a long time ago

maybe beouse we know you from the inside out...your inner beauty and innocence...

[ffm172]

55. innocence?????

are we talking about the same Blondie??????

[cleofus1]

57. yes

innocence as opposed to cynicism...as a 46 year old man...compared to me...and a lot of people who i have met...

[ffm172]

60. ok, I accept that definition from innocence

:) but she is by far not innocent :evilgrin:

[cleofus1]

63. well

i don't mean her sexual nature if that's what you mean...

i think it's getting a little hot in here:smoke:

[ffm172]

68. I think she has a mean streak

and I mean that in a nice way ... she likes teasing .... :evilgrin:

are you scared of a bit heat?

[cleofus1]

69. my defininiton of mean goes much deeper than teasing

yes i am scared of a little bit of heat...prefer large amounts...

[ffm172]

72. oh ok

I can see your differentiation.

we still can make a big fire :evilgrin:

[cleofus1]

75. bad girl...bad girl,,,,

i have to go now...i think i hear my mom calling,,,,

[ffm172]

77. sissy

:)

It is almost time for me also (20 minutes till weekend)

[cleofus1]

79. sissy...

well!

[ffm172]

82. oh come on, your mom is calling

what an excuse is that? LOL

[cleofus1]

84. it's a lame exscuse...

but it's early and i still have to have a cup of coffee...and i am actually at work...trying to hit the mark and type at the same time...and well...i just don't flirt like i used too :dunce:

[ffm172]

85. excuse accepted

:)

[BlondieK143]

59. You're very sweet.

And I appreciate the flattery. :D

[Huckebein the Raven]

54. Those who don't are the ones smoking crack

:)

[BlondieK143]

58. Awww!

You're too kind! Are you sure you can't make it to Boston? :)

[Huckebein the Raven]

62. No, I can't make it

:(

[BlondieK143]

67. Awww man.

:D I'll have to hit on you some other time.

[Huckebein the Raven]

70. Anytime my dear anytime

:D

For time being, you can just flirt with me here in the Lounge

[BlondieK143]

73. Sounds like a plan!

:D Just push me off if it gets annoying.

[Huckebein the Raven]

87. Now why would I do something like ?

:loveya:

[BlondieK143]

89. I dunno.

Because you're fawned after by many people in the Lounge? :D

[Huckebein the Raven]

94. Me ?

:wow:

[BlondieK143]

95. Of course!

Just look at this thread. :D

[Huckebein the Raven]

98. Don't worry, I won't tire of you flirting with me

It's more attention than I get outside of DU

:)

[BlondieK143]

99. Trust me, we're in the same boat.

That's why I wonder if people really ARE crazy here (totally kidding!). If you ever need a confidence boost, hit me up. :D You're a really nice guy. Now how old are you?

[Huckebein the Raven]

103. Thanks. I'm 25

-have to go to class, so I'll talk to you later cutie

:hi: :loveya:

[BlondieK143]

104. Perfect age!

:D See ya later handsome! :hug:

[ffm172]

90. now I am getting jealous

:)

[Huckebein the Raven]

91. Haven't forgot about you

:)

[ffm172]

92. well I definitely hope so

;)

I am going now. Have a great weekend and behave on- and offfline :evilgrin:

[BlondieK143]

93. Nevah!

Behave isn't in the dictionary for some people. :D Have a great weekend! :hug:

[Huckebein the Raven]

96. hehe I will

:hi:

[cleofus1]

41. so now

you are fishing for compliments...i'm married...so i can't really say exactly what i mean...but you are pretty...not what i expected...i though you might be homely...must go now...:o

[BlondieK143]

43. LOL!

:blush: Thank you. Sorry I'm not homely. lol. Normally I don't look that seductive, was just bored.

[iconoclastic cat]

15. Wait, wait, wait, hold the freaking phone...you were punched,

and almost fired? What the hell is going on at your job? What, are you a teacher now, too?

[BlondieK143]

18. Oh man, no!

Thank goodness. I do not have the patience at all, but I have serious respect for the people in that field. I think it's really wonderful.

I was actually punched in the face at a concert. The guy just kinda looked at me and says "Whoa, you're a girl." I'm like "DUH!"

The job thing was my fault, but it was a VERY honest mistake. Now I have to make sure I don't do ANYTHING wrong. :(

[cleofus1]

20. so it would be OK to punch a stranger in the face

if he's a guy?

i guess i haven't been to a concert in a long long time...

glad you survived!

[BlondieK143]

22. I don't think he meant that.

I just think he meant that it would have been a little more bearable if I were a guy. He apologized and I could tell he was just in the moment and didn't really do it on purpose. Besides, I couldn't let something like that ruin my night. Thank goodness no black eyes resulted.

[iconoclastic cat]

31. The teacher comment was sarcastic. I actually have to deal with fights

every day at my school. I'll have to tell you some stories later. Gotta go!

[BlondieK143]

33. Have a great day!

And the stories will definitely have to be told at a later date.

[Brewman_Jax]

48. Really?

a blonde blondie. What a concept! :rofl:

[BlondieK143]

50. Cute.

Real cute. :D

It was scary!

[Brewman_Jax]

53. Was it really that bad?

or did you look like you were ready for Halloween?

The Georgia RenFest starts this weekend, and I started a thread about it that actually got responses!

[BlondieK143]

61. Woo hoo!

That means you can't lurk as much anymore. :D Hope you have a WONDERFUL time!

And it wasn't THAT bad, just wasn't me at all.

[Brewman_Jax]

71. You probably shouldn't have picked the...

"platinum blonde" shade--LOL :rofl: I'm sure you're glad that you're back to the original hair color.

I'll have pictures taken, and I'll have to sign up for the photo uplink site.

How goes the job? Are you still on double secret probation? :hide:

The trip is coming up, isn't it?

[BlondieK143]

74. Actually...

It wasn't platinum blonde. I think my hair just freaked out since I normally don't do anything to it (color wise). Oh well. :D I can deal with a darker shade more than I can a light one.

:) And YAY for pictures! Photobucket always works well for me. The job is okay, just going to be really stressful for the next few months. Trip is 4 days away! I can't wait!!!! I haven't done anything yet to prepare. :shrug:

[Brewman_Jax]

78. Not ready yet?

I can give you a few suggestions--take a jacket and/or sweater, have good walking shoes, and most important...











No doughnut for you! :P

Didn't think I'd forget, did you?

[BlondieK143]

80. Of course not!

You're good like that! :D Hopefully the beautiful weather will stick around the weekend for your festival! Did you decide whether or not to let your mom go?

And I just saw on the predicted forecast it's going to be rainy that weekend in Boston, so I'll be packing a rain coat too.

[Brewman_Jax]

86. Oh, no!

That sux, the long weekend will be rained on. I hope that the rain won't be too long.

The forecast is fantastic for the weekend, cool in the morning, warmer into the day. It'll be a weekend for Norfolk hose (what you 21st Century types call tights). I did a workout dble yesterday.

[BlondieK143]

88. Nice!

Not working those knees too hard, are you?? *tapping foot*

Tights? :D Cute!!

[Brewman_Jax]

97. Yes

and the right one shows much improvement. I have to stretch longer, but that's okay. 3 miles is not a problem.

[BlondieK143]

101. That's really good!

(that you're showing improvement!) Just don't work yourself too hard. :hug: Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

[Brewman_Jax]

105. Have fun

and enjoy your trip and your weekend! :hug:

[AFSCME girl]

81. Hi You!

Don't forget to post pics from the Boston gathering...and you have a great time!! :bounce: :party:

Love,
AFSCME girl

[BlondieK143]

83. Thank you!

I definitely intend on having a wonderful time! Wish you could make it! Hope things are still getting better on your end. Have a great weekend and I'll talk to you next week! :hug:

[cleofus1]
