WWWOOOAOAHAHAHAHA ROZE HAAAAR

day by day, people do not seem to get less totally souped about my hair. today two third years [they were like half my height] came up to me in the hallway and gawked for a little bit lol. debby told them that i was only into guys with beards and that i was too old for them anyway XD and like 4 people in the hallway today were like roze haaaaar :OOO its better when i'm out at night though, because then all the drunk teenagers are like WTF WHAT IS THAT ITS SO MYSTICAAAAL its like i'm a mythical creature or something.

FUCKIN' MAGESTIC AS HELL.

i'm trying to figure out if i'd be any less of a social pariah if i could speak the language. cos i figure then i could defend myself against being a total freak with pink hair. well, half of those things, anyway. i think maybe i could muster up a little bit of popularity if i could talk. in time! plus, i have a good number of friends, im content c:
anyway, school this week has been confusing but not too hard. were reading a book in english called somethin somethin oscar wao, about dominicans in america. and the main characters name is BELICIA.
i have a present for you:
http://www.thesource4ym.com/teenlingo/
that is how i feel when my british english teacher tells the class about reggaeton music. really, this book brings me right back to the south side hur hur
also, for CKV we have to do like this adbusters assignment where we remake and advert and look at how they effect us. which is riiight up my alley :D also, we have to go to like concerts and arts events. this is legit a wonderful wonderful requirement.

this is super balls, i should have taken history.

i have yet to have a full week of school. today, my dutch teacher and my music teacher were both absent, so i got to leave at like 1 lol.
i met an english teacher yesterday from ohio, too :D shes like super duper nice. shes lived here for like 15 years and we got to talk about how lots of things here are mad different.
EXAMPLES
airing out rooms: people here keep their windows open ALL THE TIME. its like 2 degrees outside. its because they like to keep the rooms smelling fresh haha. like at the hostel last weekend, the lady told us to open the windows because our room smelled "sleepy". i understand it, but i am constantly freezing all the time, so i keep my windows shut XD
bathroom birthday calendars: i noticed that a lot of people keep monthly calendars in their bathrooms with birthdays listed on them? which seems like an odd place to be remembering someone's birthday. but i think its just a more useful version of bathroom magazines.  i thought maybe it was just my family being oddly practical, but no. pretty much everyone else's house i've been in has one too.
coffee and tea: ITS ALWAYS COFFEETEA TIME. like all day erryday, its time to break and have a little cookie and some serious r&r. i am totally okay with this, its a wonderful thing. and pretty much its required to eat a little cookie with your coffeetea. it just makes it a much more pleasant experience.

i see that your koffie is not yet complete. would you like to complete it with a koekje? y/y

the thing i am not okay with is that i cannot find a brand of tea to suit my fancy. sweet wood tea is okay, but its so sweet it makes my mouth hurt XD i bought apple spice chai, but for realz it just tasted like hot water. and then i actually FOUND some apple cinnamon tea, but it was by lipton so it tasted like nothing and awfulness. so basically someone needs to import me a box of celestial seasonings, because so far the quest is not going well.

anyway. tomorrow i dont have to go to school cos im going to get my residency permit i think c: which is good cos i get to wake up late. BUT the passport photos that i had taken in america arent up to dutch passport standards [your ears have to be visible :/] sooo i have to go take more.

so, today was picture day. which they did not find it necessary to tell me. luckily, i wore something that doesnt look like asses and butts, so thats good. but, the picture guy was like "HOI PINKY, SAY COOKIES!" and i was like UH WHAT DOES THAT EVEN WORK?
so my picture is probably me looking baffled and horrified. seriously, cookies?
also, i got my hair done today to, so i was struck by the utter irony of my hair bein perfect and beautiful a meer 3 hours after taking school pictures.
but after that i had pretty stellar luck all day C: got out two periods early, ate a stroopwafel, hit every green light on the way home, and got my hair dyed the right color. i consider this a win.

the rest of the week should be pretty win-ish. no school then hengelo with my new friend jelle on saturday :O
'cept for forking over 5-10 euro for new passport photos. seriously, i am dirt poor. haha

OH ONE MORE THING the lady at the hair salon asked if i'd want to model for a photoshoot later in the year if they need it. because it doesnt matter how jacked i look, i have pink hair! i love getting to represent things c: i'm pretty excited. now that my hair is actually longish and prettyish, im enjoying it more.

aaanyway. going to sleep pretty early tonight because i am constantly on the verge of falling asleep. seriously, i almost dozed off while i was getting the dye washed out today. i'm a trooper.
