I'm a Little Loki

Y'all ever seen Thor?
No?
Well, you should. It's fantastic.

One of my favorite characters is Loki.
I'm not going to elaborate.
But, my friend SJ and I have a gazillion of inside jokes, and me being like Loki is one of them.
I love pulling pranks and making people laugh.
I also love gold, green, and black, so really.

Needless to say, there are many times I could really channel the Loki, and I choose not to, because I can't just become invisible at will.
How's that for accountability?

Anyhoo, remember back a few weeks ago when I mentioned dying my hair and having the opportunity to be rather tricksy, but I decided not to?

Well.
Before I begin, let me explain a few things.
I've been meaning to repaint my bathroom for months. Possibly years.
I just don't care for yellow.
Last time our family meant to do something, it was replacing the headlights in my mom's van.
I had my permit, was told to pull alongside our mailbox, and get the mail.
Um.
I did . . . but I popped out one of the headlights in the process.
I was extremely distraught and embarrassed, but this resulted in headlights that actually, you know, lit up the road.
Not bad for a day's work.

Now fast forward about 6 years.
I'm in the bathroom refreshing the red in my bottom layers.
I have to wait about 10 minutes before rinsing it out.
So I'm sitting there on the floor with half my hair sopping with this stuff that looks like blood (hair dye doesn't always almost never looks like the color it actually is -- I used to get blonde highlights and the two dyes were white and purple, just FYI) and I started to lean against the wall before I realize that my hair's got chemicals in it, so I lean forward again.
Then it hit me: I could TOTALLY "accidentally" get dye all over the wall and we'd be forced to paint the bathroom.
I seriously contemplated doing this, but then I decided to be nice and not do it.
Weren't they Loki? (Get it? Loki, lucky? . . . Okay, I'll stop.)

Also, the dye legitimately looked like blood, so there was always the chance that it might be mistaken for a murder scene. . .
. . . a thing which Loki would have staged in a heartbeat.
Just sayin'.
