I come bearing pictures of meeeee! I went to the SALON to get my hair dyed for the very first time, and I am rather pleased. It ended up similar to what I had a few months ago, but it's obviously better quality. Also behind the cut is my awesome birthday present - a Bastian jersey! :DD


My hair BEFORE!

(This is an almost unfairly nice picture of it before, lol. I was just bored with the light brown.)

And AFTER!

I keep looking in the mirror and going whoa! My hair's like - burgundy-black-ish! Whoa! Kinda cool. I look forward to the reddish the sun will fade it to. But it's a fun, semi-dramatic change. :)


THIS ARRIVED IN THE MAIL FOR ME TODAY AND OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH. *_______* It's a REAL one (unlike my black away replica from Thailand, lol) and it's so soooft and light and the details are so perfect and beautiful and UNGH, I have been wearing it all evening!


SCHWEINSTEIGAHHHH! My favorite bb of them ALL! Ugh I love him sfm. YAAAY! *twirls*


Bonus: this is my high school soccer jersey! And it's signed by Pele! :DD Our assistant coach had a connection of some kind so he sent off our jerseys and they came back like this! Prettttty nifty. \o/ I really love this sport and I'm so glad I'm reconnecting with it. :)))

Science has been frustrating lately... or more accurately, I've been frustrating MYSELF with a lack of drive and creativity. IDK what's wrong with me, but SOMETHING is. Meh. Well, I'm running away again - off to California to see my American girls from my year in Dublin! We're spending the weekend in Monterey and I'm prettttty excited. :D Hooray for running away from your problems! Then the weekend after THAT is Chicago with mah musictoyourlips for a Stargate Creation Con with DAVID HEWLETT AND JOE FLANIGAN AND MICHAEL SHANKS OMGGGG. :DDD So that's pretty cool. Last hurrah before the semester begins! \o/ (We won't talk about that big research plan I have to have written for my boss before classes start.... nosireee.)

All the little details of the white one make me so happy too - I hadn't counted the stripes but I thought they were gorgeous (and they feel so soft and smooth!) and now I love them even more, aww. Nationalelf! <33 And when I discovered the black-red-gold under the cuffs I was SO PLEASED. I've been wearing it all day and it's just so wonderful. ♥

I think they're silkscreened? I'm not sure how else they'd be put on. The letters are a very soft, low-friction matte surface that's a bit stiffer than the fabric around it. So yes, I think silkscreened? They actually feel amazing and I keep petting the seven, haha.

Thank you! ♥

That completely ridiculous "discover teamgeist" Adidas flash game included information on the details of the real home Germany kit (and sexy pictures of Lahm ~werking~ it as demonstration). I think it was as much about educating people on what constitutes a real vs. a fake kit as it was going "eeee, teamgeist!", but it was educational nevertheless.

Thanks for the kit info! (I was hoping for fabric patches with very subtle stitching, but ah well.) Just be sure to wash it very carefully and avoid sticking it in a hot dryer to keep the name/number last as long as possible! (Honestly, if I ever got a named kit, I'd probably handwash and airdry it, but I'm obsessive about these things. XP)

Oooh, that actually sounds quite fun! (Plus sexy Lahm, om nom :D) I think I'll go further explore the ~teamgeist~ thing, I never made it very far!

You're welcome :) The tag says to wash cold and line dry so that's what I'm gonna do! That thing is NEVER going in a dryer, omg.
