Finally got rid of the last of my dyed hair...

... I feel so much cooler now (which is great as I was baking my arse off before). Since I started dying my hair black in May 2009 I have gone about 25% white... not even grey, but white! From my temples on both sides of my head to way back past my ears in two inch sections, the hair is pure white! No wonder I was having to colour my hair black every three weeks! I walked past a mirror after I got out of the shower and was shocked to not see myself with black hair, hahaha!

I've learned my lesson with hair dye, though... if I ever were to dye it again, it would either be lighter than my original colour or as near to my own shade as possible. Never am I going darker, 100% never going black... EVER!! I also hated the way it made my hair thin and perpertually greasy (I have greasy hair anyway, but it would no sooner dry after washing and start to look lank).

I'm thinking of never cutting my hair again and seeing just how long I can get it before I completely get sick of it or totally make myself out to be a liar and reach for the dye, LOL! I would like long hair, it's something I always say, yet never achieve because I always do something to it and then cut it all off to within an inch of my head (as I've just done, hehe).

If I'm going to be a true Hippy Goth, then I need Hippy hair... oh well, as long as I'm alive it'll grow. On thing I can do quickly is grow hair (in the summer it can be as much as almost two inches a month! No joke of a lie, and if take sea kelp it's even faster).

So bloody hot today, and having electric fans blowing constantly is really drying out my eyes and making them red and sore... I hate summer, I'm more of a Spring and Autumn person. I like it so that you can sleep at night without waking up drenched in sweat (which is imcredibly nasty) if you turn the fans off, or freezing cold if you leave them on. No pleasing me, is there? LOL!

I had to laugh when we lost 4-1 to Germany in the World Cup... as I was watching the motorway just afterwards I saw not one single England flag adorning a car... now, if Andy Murray would just lose at Wimbledon we can go back to being the cheerful underdog, rather than the cocky, "never-shut-the-hell-up-about-it" winner! (That and I just really dislike his poxy attitude, the fact he can never even crack a grin when he's welcomed on court to thunderous applause... oh, and the fact that he reminds me of a rat-faced chump *sorry for insulting the rats, there*)

The garlic capsules were a bad idea...

... and I've not taken anymore today. An hour after taking them yesterday my stomach had bloated up to such a degree that I was having trouble taking a deep breath!! Guess that rules out garlic as well as the onions *sigh*

The match at Wimbledon finally reached a conclusion... 70-68 in the final set to the American, John Isner. The Frenchman, Nicholas Mahut looked gutted when he lost... but they both got a special trophy and present for taking part in the longest tennis match in history, as did the chair umpire.

It's been really muggy today... it feels as if it's brewing up a storm somewhere. The atmosphere is airless and seems to just sap the energy right out of your body (or it seems to do that to me, anyway, lol). I hope there is a massive storm soon, one that will freshen the air and return the energy... gotta love those negative ions, hehe.

What the hell is wrong with people... they are going bonkers over the new iPhone, I just don't see the attraction. Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy one... I don't see the point in spending that much money on a bloody phone! Madness *sigh*

I have to try taking garlic capsules again!

I'm being eaten alive by gnats and taking garlic capsules is the only way that I can make myself less appetising to them! I must have something that makes me very scrummy to blood-sucking insects... and in the past only taking garlic seemed to get them to leave me alone.

I was watering the garden yesterday and I had gnats flying around my legs and I had to swat at them to avoid being bitten. Ever since I've felt itchy all over. Bloody nasty creatures!!!

I hope the garlic is one member of the allium family that doesn't effect me... if I could eat garlic it means that I can also have pizza, lol!

Was watching Wimbledon earlier and I was totally engrossed in the match between Nicholas Mahut and John Isner... is was suspended because of bad light after they had been playing for two days and the the score was 59-59 in the final set!! That's bonkers, and they still have to come back tomorrow and finish it! What a first round match.
