think.

i remember that i was going to type up a blog the other day, but now, i honestly have no clue what i was going to write...

anyway, i cut my mom's hair wednesday. she just let me do whatever i wanted. so when i finished, and she went to look at it, she really liked it. and said that it's the exact same haircut she got when she went to mario tricoci years ago because she got gift certificates for there and told them to do whatever they wanted (just a longer version of it)... and she loved that cut and hasn't had one that good since. so, if that's not encouraging, i don't know what is.

also, during cutting class yesterday, the teacher just was walking around, checking work and just out of curiosity, asking each of us why we decided to become hairdressers and if we like it. i said that i've just always liked doing hair and i like it and that since i was like, seven or ten or so, i would watch movies to just see how their hair looked sometimes, and i'd watch credits and see the hairdresser's name and be like, 'i want to do that one day...'. she then was like, 'you know who can do that for you?... wynn claybaugh.' he's one of the head guys of paul mitchell. i think he does a lot of their philosophy on life, like be nice to everyone, be happy, surround yourself with positive things... stuff like that. she said i could email him directly, and as long as i use spell check and proper grammar, he'd properly respond. i was like, wow. cool. i love good grammar. and she also said there's a makeup artist that comes in to teach a class every once in a while and he's amazing. he's done makeup for an entire movie. a real one. that was in theatres. i just don't remember the name of it. but, she said she has his information and a few websites i can read and learn from on how to get into doing that. she said both of them would be great contacts and very helpful. so, we shall see what happens. wouldn't that be just wild?
i'm not saying it's going to happen for sure or anything, but it would be cool. as of now, i'm saying its just a far distant dream that would be interesting if it did indeed come true.

the hair show is tomorrow. i'm going to sleep early tonight so i'd be very awake. tomorrow is going to be a looong day.
i have to be at school at 8:30. then we leave school to go to the tinley park convention center at 12 to be there by 12:30. then the competition/show itself begins at like, seven or seven thirty. so i'll be out for over twelve hours. i'm definitely bringing a book and some snacks and tea and water.
i hope it'll be fun. or at the very least, interesting.

that's kind of it for now, i guess. i've been doing styles/updos on my mannequin heads for a few days just for fun and i've got a really neat style pretty consistent. and i'm very happy with it. so that's cool. i think i'll go online and find random styles that are cool and just copy them to get good at it for a while, then start making up my own with some sort of inspiration to it.
