This was my first foray into SF nightlife and the first time I've ever gone out dancing with people I barely knew. In fact, I knew them so little that I discovered before we even left for the club that this would also be my first time out with total stoners. And there was a photo booth involved. Good times all around.
Week Six: Hair Dye
My hair has actually been on quite an adventure for the past year or so. Below you can see the progression from deep purple streaks to neon pinks & purples to the weird faded browns & reds the neons morphed into to this latest attempt to go back to my natural dark brown. I'm counting this dye job as a first since I've never done my whole head before (just streaks and chunks) and I've never done the at-home, out-of-a-box, rinse-it-out-in-your-bathtub thing before either.
Week 7: Makeup
Believe it or not, I've never bought or owned makeup for daily use, only for random outrageous costumes. So my friend Charlynn, who I think has gotten tired of letting me use her makeup when we go out, took me to Sephora and helped me drop a good chunk of change on some quality cosmetics. Only problem: I'd still rather spend the extra ten minutes in the morning sleeping than using what I've bought. I figure, if I get the extra rest, my face won't look like it needs the stuff anyway.
Week 8: iPod
Despite being a lifetime Mac user, I've never actually owned an iPod. Well, until today, that is, when I became the proud owner of a (PRODUCT) RED nano. I've always preferred to spend my entertainment budget on books, but being at the gym so much recently (see entry for Week 2) has given me a new appreciation for auditory stimuli. And I have to say, 60 minutes on the elliptical machine does go by a lot faster with some Fat Boy Slim pumping into your inner ear.

You've never needed makeup, but the simple fact that you're trying it out, along with dance clubs and different hair colors, represents an incredible, admirable spiritual leap. Living life can be a frightening, unpredictable experience but you are clearly doing it with consideration, joy and flair. The walls in that old poem of yours continue to fall. Best wishes.
