freckles_and_doubtOne of the side-effects of my ongoing occasional embrace of henna is that for the last couple of years my grey streak has been hidden. This is the grey streak I've had since I was 22, as a result of the unfortunate concatenation of a redhead, her considerable consumption of peach schnapps, the Bastard Ex-Boyfriend From Hell, a heavy pottery mug and four stitches. I've always rather liked the streak, considering it an Interesting Feature as well as a reminder not to be so bloody stupid in future, so it was a happy discovery to see it reappear a couple of days ago when I randomly re-parted my hair.
Today, updates! This morning I noticed a weird little patch of undyed hair in front of my right ear, which is a direct result of my strictly amateur efforts with the henna (score usually hair about 70% dyed, hands 40%, bathroom 20%, and splotches on passing cats). It's not the usual uninspiring brown of my usual hair unassisted by henna - it's full of silver. I have Official Grey Hair! For no adequately defined reason, although it's probably something to do with my ongoing inability to feel like an Actual Grown-Up, I find this inordinately cool.
Last Night I Dreamed: an extended and chaotic children's birthday party combined with a shopping trip and, for some reason, wading knee-deep through the sewers in search of some undefined goal.
