My hair

This is me, July 2012. From the back at least. What you might not be able to tell well from this picture is that I have just about hip length hair. That's a lot of hair. It's fine and on the thinnish side. But, it's still a lot of hair. I wear it in a ponytail or braided most of the time. But, I'm getting bored with that, and decided that if I am going to keep all this hair, and I'm planning on it, then I should learn how to do something with it.




So, I did what any self-respecting Internet addict would do, I turned to Youtube. I found a whole bunch of videos for different hairstyles for long hair. A lot of them were ones that I could myself, others were ones that   showed you how to do things to other people's hair.

After looking at a whole bunch of videos, I found one channel that had loads of lovely styles, was easy to follow, and fun to watch. My new favorite hair porn, TorrinPaine on Youtube. She has loads of lovely styles, many of them start from a ponytail, which is great. And most of her videos start "Hello my lovelies" which is just so friendly.

So far, here is one of my faves of hers that I have managed to do to my hair.






This is the Arya Stark from Game of Thrones season 1. It's from when they are at Winterfell. It looks really complex, but it is pretty easy, actually.  










When I can manage to get everything else off my iPod and get my computer to cooperate all at the same time, I will post more. It should happen in a day or two.

Note: Yes, there is a reason that I am posting links and not pictures or videos, I don't want to mess up anyone's copyright.

Journeys Through the Interwebz

I pretty much live on the Internet. I cruise it, I work on it, I play it. I often joke with DH that if we lived in a cyberpunk world I would be a serious net junkie. I would just be jacked in all the time. I do actually get away now and again. I read books. I play video games. The Boy complains now and again about how much time I spend on the net. I think mostly because if I'm on the net he can't ask to use my computer.

I love the Internet is basically what I'm saying. I'm also a huge geek. I love Firefly, scifi, the Muppets, Star Wars (Han shot first!) and all the classic geek kind of things. There are a lot of blogs that I follow, something like 50 or so. Maybe more. I've never counted them.

Today, instead of being a negative Nellie, like I often am, I decided that I would share some of my favorite things.

I had never read Game of Thrones, although DH had, before the show came out. We watched the entire season, and I love it. Which is why I love this! Muppets Game of Thrones.

This is one of my favorite blogs ever. Well it's actually two blogs written by the same people. Jen and her husband originally started with Cake Wrecks, and then she decided to share her inner geekgirl with Epbot. If you love Steampunk and Disney and other fun geek stuff, this is the place to go.

I love the scifi convention world, even if I haven't been to a con in a while. But, you always see female warriors, or warrior wannabes, in chain mail bikinis. Yeah, that's how they are often pictured in comic books and illustrations and such. So I loved this a lot.





I think that's enough for today.
