The Quest for Red Hair


Once upon a summery Thursday, there was a damsel in distress. Megan by name, she was in dire need of assisstance. She was obliged, upon the morrow, to have lovely red tresses, but her hair was a pale blonde color instead. To help her through this trial, she called upon her long-time friend, one Emily. Emily, ever willing to be helpful, agreed at once to come to Megan's aid. When Megan arrived at Emily's flower-bedecked home, Emily emerged to join Megan in her *trusty* white car. The two proceeded with all due haste to Wal-Mart, where they hoped to find the magicks required to perform the transformation of Megan's locks. Having located a promising-appearing box of dye, they then returned to the car, with which they traveled to Megan's abode. These two talented maidens immediately set to work, following the instructions of the magicks and carefully combing the dye through Megan's hair. Although having more would have been adventageous, the two made do with what they had and settled down to wait for the prescribed length of time. All had gone well, until suddenly...Alas! Having washed out the dye, Megan's locks remained blonde! A darker blonde than they had been, but certainly not the vibrant red they of necessity had to become. Not to be deterred from their goal, these brave friends went out again into the world, and again made the perilous drive to Wal-Mart. Having found another, and stronger, dye to use, they left to try again. In the parking lot, they spared a moment to decide whether a young couple, who were either having a moment or locked out of their car, required assisstance. Having decided upon the former circumstance as being the most likely, the two returned to Megan's habitation. Having examined the contents of the new box of color, they realized belatedly that they really ought to have two boxes. Ever patient, they chose to return for a third foray in Wal-Mart. Most misfortunately, this time they were unsucessful...there was no more of the color they had already chosen! Determined to finish their quest, however, they contemplated their options, and brilliantly decided to try another locale that sold such magicks as they required. So onward to Hardig Drug they went. Then Walgreens. And Super Wal-Mart. The fates had turned their backs upon these resourceful heroines, for nowhere was there more dye to be found. Wearily, but still supporting their spirits with such humor as they could muster, the two friends again took to the road. Having reached Target before it's closing, they again began their search for the correct color. Just before they were going to turn away in despair, they found the box! Again filled with energy and renewed purpose, the maidens rejoiced. Suddenly hungering, Megan, having bought the magickal dye, hurried to the food court for dinner. Due to the emotional tumult caused by the recent events, however, she forgot her food momentarily. Running back, she retrieved her dinner, and both girls laughed while leaving the mall, a mere five minutes before it closed its doors for the night. Once again in Megan's home, the two went to work on her hair, and soon had the dye combed through. For entertainment, while waiting for the magick to set in, the two watched another episode of "Friends." The wait sorely tried their patience, for their hopes were high that their task would be finished. Megan washed and dried her hair again...and the color was beautiful! A perfect red, exactly what she had needed for the next day. Triumphant, the friends called it a night.

i meant to post that awhile ago. but being that it's me, i didn't.


maaan, i love emily. she's so fun.


i have much to do today. which is why i'm awake at six am after a brief nap.


man, i was so sick yesterday. it was bad. i'm never ever drinking again. (until this weekend when del comes! which reminds me, more people should come visit me! like renata! aaaand.... ok, del and renata are my only friends. *sigh* *sad*)


today: clean, laundry, lunch with allie, caleb and dad, manicure with diana at 6:30 (?) need to call her..... la la, what else? there's more, i'm sure. oh well. i'll remember after a few loads of laundry, i'm sure.


i hate doing laundry so much. that's seriously why i have so many clothes, because i'm WAY more likely to go buy a new outfit than i am to wash one that i have.


am feeling rather bummed, and have given up all hope of ever dating anyone ever again. *sniffle*


well kids, i've gotta go. i have some important life wasting and such to do.
