Sparklers Taste (Rather Obviously) Like Gunpowder

 

I turned 22 to Taylor Swift's 22 (even during Taylor Swift's Version Red era!) (sort of a lie, I fell asleep but played it the morning of)

Honestly I don't have anything much for this post except to time capsule a moment for myself and leave it here. I'm 22 and the new year is on my heels (my ongoing joke is that I'm a day older than every year), but for now I enjoy the moment and not spending nearly enough time touching up this post before midnight. I can always fix it or add to it later, I highly doubt anyone would be surprised.

Candle broke so my sister mini blow-torched it back together

The rock hard ice cream tub my sister stuck in the (not on, but warm) oven
after my not serious and joking suggestion. Surprisingly it wasn't a completely terrible idea

   

There are f-bombs in the song. Just as a forewarning. This, the Marie Antoinette soundtrack (2006), Taylor Swift, and Lord Huron in general have sort of been by music soundtrack for the last few days

I've always wanted to try suck the helium out of a balloon to see if it actually works 

(it does! for a few seconds but it's worth it)

When my mom had asked me if I had any plans for my birthday making 

half my family high on helium wasn't exactly on the list. 

Some rather obvious advice that I didn't think of at the time, maybe don't do this after doing helium.
Edit: Turns out I forgot that Helium isn't flammable

So here's to the dumb but chaotic birthday I wanted. You're only 22 once. Why not explode like that one alcoholic Dickens character accidently. I am an idiot goblin and I had a fantastic time.

Head High Up In The Clouds

So in November I had some help dying blue streaks in my hair. I've wanted to dye my hair for years but I never have; so my all or nothing tendency is to go from nothing to literal blue. Anyways, short story shorter, the streaks faded out and I ended up dying all of my hair blue. While I've been wanting to dye it blue long before, rewatching Pacific Rim really did something to me. I wasn't going to do a post about it but I had gotten my sister to help me dye my hair and neither of us knew what we were doing so her expressions are hilarious and I (with her permission) wanted to share them because they are just too good to bury in my photo history. 

Before

Before at the back

This is about the point where my mom pointed out that my sister was
missing some of my hair at the front and she went 'oh!' and then went to fix it and
I was telling her 'oh!' in response to 'you're missing some of the hair' is not
what I want to hear when you're dying my hair. this whole process was janky and chaotic 
and I loved every second

There is a meme for this face

I don't like this photo but it was so on point to the whole process
our comb is really cheap and my hair is hard to brush through when it's wet
or whatever you'd consider dye in your hair

If this face doesn't sum up my life I don't know what does

Blue hair is so hard to have show up on camera but my sister and I did our best.

I flipping love my hair.

 I wouldn't have traded anything for the absolutely unprepared, broken clipped, slightly unhinged process that we had.
