Away for a few days

Going to York tomorrow, coming back on Friday. It's Jenn's birthday next week but she's off work this week so I'm going early to give her her birthday present and take them out for a meal.

This is her present:

That's an amazing gift! I'm new in the f-list, but i have the feeling that she's gonna like it. It looks cozy too, haha.

In her teen years, Jenn experimented a lot with style though usually came down in favour of goth (without the ultra-white face). She still wears a lot of black but highlights with single colours. Her favourite 'shoes' are New Rock: I think she has 7 pairs, which serve to make her even taller. She dyed her hair black at 16 and has tried various coloured or bleached streaks and shavings. Now 22, nearly 23, she has green hair, which looks gorgeous and some facial piercings that her mother hopes are just a fad, haha.

Oh, it's never a fad, haha.

That's some gorgeous hair! I dyed my hair black, pink, purple, green/blue, and red. Now my hair is really damaged. Can she give me some advice? Because i love doing it, but i don't want to damage my hair beyond repair.

As a proud bottle blonde :D I cannot recommend those enough:

Everyone thinks I'm natural, which probably only prooves how dim I sound, not the quality of the colour...

They won't do green, but they'll have black, reddish and purplish.

*Huggy Huggy*

To me,You are sure to be always intelligent, lovely, and very friendly :D

And I still think you are natural :D - Don't think it bad!

[iskra667.livejournal.com]

You're such a charmer :) And a great spell checker to top it all! :D

[valoa.livejournal.com]

God! Why do you still tease me about that!

I will keep on doing!

Just to spite you! ^^"

[iskra667.livejournal.com]

lol! I'm not teasing, I'm engaging in healthy masochism because I would have looked like a real idiot if you'd not spotted 'lightning'! And I like to remind myself of it again, and again, and again... :D

I'm engaging in healthy masochism...

I should not tell you about my favourite science books...

[iskra667.livejournal.com]

The first time I went to Uni, I studied Maths :D I know all about elaborate masochism. :D

Unless you did not mean the act of reading those books was masochist!

A Louis-like friend was reading a huge book about 'maths explained to literary people in literary language', I had a look for fun and it was the ultimate masochist book: the complicated concepts of maths explained in the complicated language of humanities, not the clear straightforward language of maths. And the arcane language of humanities without the subtleties/relevance/debatability (I made this word up) of them.

[mumsisdaughter]

Maths was my favourite subject to teach, though I admit it was to junior school children. I enjoyed it that much that I took a 2 year Diploma from the Mathematical Association. The thought of using literary language to complicate the beauty of symbols, equations and relationships is shocking: it can't do justice to the maths or the written word.

I am in awe of anyone who can tackle university maths: I remember struggling to make sense of differentiation and calculus. I know already of your wonderful handling of the written word, now I bow down to your maths brain!

[iskra667.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's sweet :) Sadly, my geek!boss does not, lol :) Sometimes, it pisses me off being a jack-of-all-trades in a specialist-biased world. I admire people who are brilliant at one thing, but jack-of-all-trades are useful too.

it can't do justice to the maths or the written word.

Indeed, it did not! It sounded verbose and obscure. And I do love interdisciplinary things when they create new perspectives, or make things clearer, but this book seemed to only create obscurity :)

It's cool that you loved maths enough to study it for fun :) To be honest, university maths is useless unless you're really really good at it. Otherwise you don't get it enough to do anything useful with it. But I still think medium level maths is very good, it teaches to think with subtlety but no flourishes, and I suppose all the more when you have to explain it back to other people!

[valoa.livejournal.com]

I know. That's why I said that you are intelligent :) - Like me! Just kidding!

I used to specialise in maths and psychology, too and I was just trying to be annoying just to revenge on you!B-)

See see! I am not that good!

Btw, ,Unless you did not mean means that you think I mean the act of reading those books was masochist or what?

* I start asking you questions again!!! *

[deaththeendless.livejournal.com]

Oh, i see! That sounds great! I was also thinking about going blonde, but i'm too pale for that, haha. Thanks!

They don't have as much nasty chemicals in them as the average colour. They still fry your hair, but not so much, and it's generally safer.

Wow, that coat is GORGEOUS! She'll love it! You're an excellent mum :) (Happy Birthday, Jenn!)

[ukashi-goshi.livejournal.com]

From those pictures of her with green hair, this looks like just the thing for her! I bet she's going to love it! Hope you have a really fun visit with her.

Ahhh, pretty coat! I'm jealous! Hope she has a great birthday and you have a good time. <3
