Back in Red


New Hair Color
Originally uploaded by bng_mochagirl
I've dyed my hair! Only temporary (should be gone in a week) for HP7 which comes out in 26 hours!! to really be Ginny Weasely, I needed red hair, plain and simple. The dye I used (Loreal Color Pulse, Red Pluse) is a level one, and doesn't have the could-be harsh chemicals that more permanent hair dyes have. Consequently it can't lighten your hair color, only add pigment onto it, hence why my hair is auburn rather than ginger. I think it'll work perfectly for what it's going to do. Confirm that I really am the obsessive fan that was blindingly apparent a few years ago.

On the subject of the book itself, I'm only now realizing how excited about it I am. I'm so glad that I've gotten to grow up with Harry (though faster than he has) and I'm also glad that I get to experience the closing of his story as more of an adult than a child. I was 13 when I got the first three books for my 13th birthday, and that opened up a wonderful world that's brought me countless hours of day-dreaming. I don't see a lot of myself directly in Harry, but any adolescent knows what it's like to feel different, and want a place to belong. Now that Harry is finally going to really become a man, I'm also on my way to finding a place in this world that's my own.

Also, I'm really hoping that we can fill out the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in Portsmouth tomorrow, that would rock.
