Ciera's Adventure

Hey people! So I wanted to write a little update about where I’m at in my life. As you can see in the picture to the left, my hair is a little darker and a lot shorter! I recently moved to Melbourne, Australia (for good, as far as I know), and it’s summer here so I decided to get a new hair cut. The color was just something new to try although my roots are already showing a tiny bit. I don’t like it! I guess lighter is better for me since I’m a low maintenance gal. But of course going lighter means damaging my hair more! I hate the feeling of my hair now without conditioner.

Anyways, off track. Australia has been good to me so far. A nice, “big” spider decided to welcome me just the other day. Of course I know this isn’t the largest around here but I can still see the segments of its body. IT’S TOO DAMN BIG! Not to mention it decided to scurry around a bit when I was trying to get a picture. That thing is fast! And today there happens to be a smaller one on the wall I’m facing, behind a picture frame. Ahhh, the joys. I’m just going to let it be until someone else decides to trap it or it attacks me, whichever comes first. [...]

I did my final drastic cut to my hair for awhile. Daniel and I got some clippers the other day to shave his head. I did a great job, in my opinion. Today I built up the courage to shave my head the way I’ve been wanting to. Have a look:

I wish it was a bit shorter but it’s scary to do myself and Daniel is too afraid to mess up. I still really like it, though. And I love that it’s pretty much hidden unless my hair is up! It makes me feel like I have a secret. xD

I attended Slutwalk on Saturday. Unfortunately I don’t have my own photos. I left my camera battery at home! Fortunately, a friend I went with took a few pictures. I also was lucky enough to meet someone from the 2nd season of Beauty and the Geek Australia. Now I’m in the process of begging him to show me his photos so I can steal some of me to put in my gallery. Anyways, it was really fun to attend. Since it was cold, not many people dressed up for the event. I actually think more men dressed up than woman. It was amazing how many men were there!! It seems to be split in half: men/women. There were some very moving speeches as well. I have to admit, I wasn’t 100% into the whole thing but I’m still very glad I attended. I might get more into next time. [...]

I worked up the courage and cut my fringe today. The last time I ever held scissors up to my hair I was… 5, maybe… so doing it today was a huge deal. I was so afraid of screwing it up, which I did. But not enough for me to hate it. I just fixed the mistake and made my hair look good. I am so happy with the result!

I’m thinking I’ll dye my hair again. Maybe a purple-ish black. I’ve been doing it so much lately but I’m really enjoying the excitement of a new look. Plus I seem to be looking a lot like Daniel’s sister which hasn’t been my aim at all. She’s beautiful but I like feeling original. I don’t want her to think I’m copying her either. Because I’m not. So, ch-ch-ch-changes are up ahead!

Oh! This Saturday I’m attending Slutwalk in Melbourne. I’ll be making a crop-top from one of my Owl City shirts. I hope it looks alright. A picture will be posted when it’s done!

Until next time

I’ve been thinking about getting my hair cut before I head back to the US. I have a general idea what I want but I’m in need of opinions. Sometimes I have a hard time knowing what will actually look good on me.

Anyways, this is my idea:

I’m thinking about trying the front fringe with the shaved sides. Would those even look good together? It’s so scary to think about!

Do you guys think I should do it? I guess I could try wigs if I don’t like the way it turns out… <.<
