Fundraising

[cultnirvana]

Past two weeks have been pretty hectic, but thankfully have gotten loads sorted. Have brushed up on Photoshop, learned InDesign, and am a good bit through training in Illustrator. So hopefully from there I'll be able to really push my skills forward. And, yay, census form is sorted

You totally scared me when you popped up and were like HELLO. I felt really dense because I was like.. 'I should know who this is'.. but you tricked me! I was expecting pink or red hair! XD Glad to hear there was a lot of money raised! I've never seen so many paper cranes in my life.. I bet your hands are about ready to fall off!

I was thinking "Introduce yourself before you start blabbing!" afterwords! I just didn't even think "Yes, she's seen photos, but you've never actually met." (I was also a bit hyper from running about.) When I run into people I've met before but don't know that well they often look confusedly at me for a few minutes and then ask "Did you used to have "insert-hair-colour-here" hair?" So I should be used to it by now >_< Though the hair will be red again very soon. Have had blonde since Christmas, and am now getting bored of it.

I made another 50 cranes this week to give to Sumi for other fundraising events. It does hurt after a while. I use a blunt children's knife to do the creases and save my poor fingers. But I gave myself a paper cut last night on the tip of my index finger. Not good!

So you are always tricking people with your hair.. Sneaky! XD I've always wondered what it'd be like to have blonde hair, way too scared to try it though!

Sumi taught us to make cranes in class, but mine just ended up a crumbled mess. My fingers are way too stubby to fold the paper properly. >__<; I bet that paper cut is sore D: Hope it doesn't hurt too much~

Most people I've known from uni onwards don't know what my true hair colour is.

Good thing about blonde is it's easy to get rid of if it doesn't work out! I'm naturally blonde, maybe a little darker than it is now, but I don't think I suit it as well as other colours. I think if you're born blonde, it's a very boring colour. I always wanted to be a brunette as a kid. And I think I suit it and red hair much better (probably because I'm quite pale and have green eyes). I think I love red the most. It's just so pretty. Now that I've gotten my hair cut and tidied up, the bright red hair dye in the bathroom will be used!

The first few cranes you make are always a complete mess. It takes a few attempts and then it something just clicks. It's been the same for everyone I know.

Sorry I didn't get up on Saturday. Had to quickly grab something in town beforehand, and it then went so badly wrong I didn't get home until almost 4pm >_< I should just come over some day or you come over here and we could sit and watch anime and play with kitties.
