What color dye do you use? How do you keep your hair so pink? Is that your real hair? Why do you have pink hair? Etc... Yes, the pink is my real hair. I use "Atomic Pink" dye by Special Effects to dye it that color. It is a semi-permanent dye, so I have to touch it up once a month to keep my color bright. I also use a sulfate-free shampoo to help keep the color. And as for why I do it... because it makes me happy! :) If you are interested in pink hair, you should check out the pink hair community on LiveJournal. For questions about previous hair colors/cuts/whatever, please see this post.

Is that a tattoo on your arm/hand? or What does your tattoo mean?
I have 4 tattoos... the ones most commonly asked about are the star on my hand and the three diamonds on my arm. The arm tattoo is of Harley Quinn's diamonds, which I got because she is one of my favorite comic book characters. The star on my right hand doesn't mean anything - I just liked how it looked ;)
How long have you been blogging?
I started blogging around 2001 on sites like Xanga and LiveJournal, and January 2008 I moved over here and opened up this blog! It was one of my New Year's resolutions to start blogging on my own domain. :)
I sent you an email but haven't heard back from you. Why?
Sometimes it takes me a few days to get to emails due to the amount I receive and my work schedule. I almost always write every person back that emails me. If its been a few weeks, it's possible it some how ended up in my spam folder on accident. Feel free to shoot me an email and check! :)
