Dreadlocks are love.

So I just noticed recently how much growth I've had....

neato!

oh hey in January I can do a one year timeline! huzzah! =D

Earlier today I ripped two apart that had become much better buddies than I preferred. heh. Ouch but man I love that sound. ^_^
And oh my GOD I need root maintenance like a mofo. And it had been such a long time since I had used my felting needles, that my hair had become much more dense, and I broke the three I had in two days. Shoot. =\

Anybody around Nebraska who wants to have a dready get-together? =D

Well I have reached a year now - one whole year! I have wanted to cut them off so many times for numerous reasons, bu I am really glad I haven't. I love my locks!

right now, i havent wash em for a week plus. i figured its the best time to let it do whatever with little restrictions because its term break! yey.
 & again, im considering.

color or not to color?

Say a person starts with brown dreads. They get dyed blond, then person combs dreads out. Because only the outside of each dread is coated when dyeing, would person have weird stripey/splotchy hair? Just a random thing I thought of. *shrug*

Also, I have a dread...well, 2 dreads I suppose, that grew together at the tips and were still 2 at the root. I could get about 3 fingers between them up there. I want them to be separate, it's a really weird shaped section when they're together. I took a nice hot shower today and ripped as far as I could, and now I can get my arm in between there, but there's a good 4 inches that will not budge. I read the few posts in the memories, and in one place it says do not use scissors, then another person used them successfully. I know not to attempt this unless I'm willing to lose one or both dreads, but are there any ideas for me? I pulled so hard. Harder than I thought I could. Those suckers are stuck!

some pics from my (and two of my friends) 17th birthday party ^_^

so, I finally bought batteries for my camera (and it was an ordeal, let me tell you. me + glittons = not functioning hands) and so I can take proper pictures of my severed limbs. so yeah.

also, today a bobcat hybrid kitten was playing with the long dreads while sitting in my lap. Let me tell you, having a paw that big with claws that sharp coming at your face? Terrifying, but then you look into her almond shaped bobcat eyes and the searing pain you feel in your shoulder from her kneading is all ok. I will try to get pictures of this cat. its amazing.
