Hi all! Lately I've been thinking I would finally go black with my hair. I've been dyeing it a really dark chestnut brown for years now, going darker and darker each time, and I think it's time I just gave in and went black like I always wanted! :)

My natural hair colour is a very light brown, so my eyebrows are, naturally, light brown as well. With my dark brown hair, I used a dark brown brow gel (makeup) to make them match better, but still look natural. Also, because it was still brown, my brows didn't look that different because even though they were lighter, the tone was the same. When I go even darker, should I still just use the makeup? Tinting brows seems like a hassle, and seems a little too permanent for me personally.

What would you recommend?

One of my good friends is pregnant at 19, and not ready to have a baby. But she has chosen to keep it, which is totally against my moral code.

I know it's such a hard decision for anybody, and I don't mean to judge her. It just breaks my heart that she may never achieve what she once dreamed of for herself; i.e., going to college, etc.

I also don't know how good of a home this baby is going to have. The father seems as if he's not going to be present, and she is struggling with bills as it is.

On the other hand, I am happy for her. I know this pregnancy wasn't intentional, but I also know she has always wanted to have children, even though this is a very inconvenient time.

I am also worried for selfish reasons - I'm scared that we may be growing apart with this. I am not going to be having a baby anytime soon, nor do I want to. I have different goals, I want to go to university and further my education, have a great career, etc.

It's selfish that I feel so sad about the end of our lives without this pregnancy, because I am sad for myself, but somehow I can't help it. Human, I suppose.

Any advice?

I'm going to Sephora today and I need a new mascara - favourites, anyone? :)

I'm hoping for $25 or under, but if it's really exceptional, then I'm willing to cough up a bit more. I like volume and length in my mascara, for reference.

I saw it in the store and was curious: does this blemish stick actually work? (Please answer only if you have tried it. Thanks.)

But do your best and have fun; I know it's quite a list for some people. XD

By old Ev, I mean pre-Fallen, as in Origin, Evanescence & Sound Asleep EPs, and demo songs.

By new, I mean Fallen, Anywhere But Home, and The Open Door.

Which one do you like better, and why?

As a sidenote, I know Evanescence isn't especially well-loved here, but I don't need answers saying "it all sucks" - if you don't like any of it, well that's just great and all, but I don't need to know, thanks.

Personally, I think pre-Fallen Evanescence was much better because it was much more original, different and it seemed as though they weren't afraid about holding back. The problem I find most with Ev is that they stop exactly before they reach their full potential, before they get REALLY good. Pre-Fallen, this didn't seem as much of a problem.

Thoughts and opinions?

Do you like Gary Moore's original "Over the Hills And Far Away", or Nightwish's cover? Or both? And why?

Personally, I love the cover simply because I'm a huge NW fan, but I actually dislike Gary Moore's original for some reason...it's just not my taste, I think. :)

What do you think?

Is there a possible way to do this? Also, I don't mean transfer just purchases I have made on iTunes - I know how to do this, and have done. But obviously, not all of my music has been purchased on iTunes. Can I do this?

...can he hear his mp3 player?

Yes, I know, it doesn't really belong here - I've searched everywhere but cannot find an appropriate category.

I know it's a stupid question, believe me - but how do you know how many stamps to put on a package? The thing I am trying to send is not an actual package, it's one of those yellow large envelopes. I am trying to send it overseas to Ireland.

Please answer soon, I want to have it mailed by May 2nd.

I think the question, "what is beauty?" is rather useless. To me, beauty cannot truly exist because there is no solidified definition. People are always striving to be beautiful, but how do you know you are not beautiful to begin with, because WHAT IS UGLY? What is it? Tell me what you think.

I was (stupidly) wearing my white Converse shoes today and they got muddy on the edges. I have tried to scrub it out but the stain is still there. Any suggestions of how to go about removing it or what cleaner to use? Thank you! :)

October Island

Falling asleep, I see

I see a world of possibilities between you and me

The moon’s full tonight and that’s my favourite night of all

I love to stargaze and in the winter

Amongst the ice I’m so cold

But I don’t mind because I will be the island in the snow

A bleeding heart, perhaps, but I am my own

In my October, my birthright month

In my October, land of opals

And in my October I am safe from the haze of summer

I am protected from the frigidity of winter

I am saved from the showers of April in spring

I sleep deep and love deeper in October

Because that’s where I’m home

I’m of October

I’m of the ocean

I am an island of my own devotion

An island unto myself and of no one else

I answer to no one else

Time to know myself

Because the months are growing colder

The years are overlapping one another

You, who can but try to demean me

You are nothing but dust now, and see how you can weave Charlotte’s web

Dust in Autumn, season of all seasons

I don't know about anybody else, but I love the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Lord Alfred Tennyson, my fav poem of all time. Does anyone else know this poem? What do you recommend if you are a fan of Tennyson?
