A Challenge!!!

I have noted that it is extremely hard to write a romance. At least, I found it hard. Any short story I write, it usally has death, attempted death and other depressing topics.

So as I challenge, I am making myself write a story that is a romance. I am very bad at writing romances, but they sell well. I'm not saying the only reason I write is because of the money. But finanncial support is nice. Very, very nice.

So, join me!

Here are the rules:

1. No Death

2. No intention of death

3. No suicide

4. No drugs

5. No weapons

6. No vampires, werewolves, zombies, fairies

7. In fact, nothing supernatural

8. No depression

9. No swearing

God, this is depressing. Ironically, I think this is going to be very depressing. My next post will be romance. Enjoy that. Or rather, don't. It's...

I can't believe I am doing this.

How to stop your parents pressuring you to bleach your hair

Yes, this blog post is what you think it is.

To STOP your parents pressuring you to dye your hair.

I know that many of my peers and colleagues have the opposite problem, wanting to influence ther parents into letting them change hair colour. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to help you out here.

You see, this is my situation. I am not old. Not saying that like a someone trying to deny their age. Just to get it clear, I am under the age of twenty five, calendar time. Physically and mentally, I won't presume to say. Yet my hair has started to turn grey, relatively speaking. It is really more of a loss of pigmentation, and against my black hair, these hairs look silver. Unfortunately, they're not real silver, so i can't sell them for extra money. One can only hope.

It has gotten so bad that I have gotten more silver hairs than my mother. And some of my aunts, who are fifty. Hmm...

Many of my great aunts, second aunts and second cousins once removed or whatever, are trying to convince me to dye my hair black. My hair is already black, and the silver streaks look awesome and natural; at least to me.

Now, my parents are convinced that I need to hide my freakish hair from the world by...bleaching it black. Yay.

Here are some tips of how to get them to stop.

1. Get a doctor's advice.
This is probably the best idea. My parents dragged me to the doctor's, and she convinced them not to pluck out my silver hairs. Doc hasn't said anything about dyeing it though, but if you do manage to get your local doctor on your side, yipee for you!

2. Show them the freakish nature of what dyeing your hair can do. Pull up those outlandish current affair stories of people DYING from bleaching their hair. If they ask you what you're doing, say it's research for when you bleach your hair. That'll make them think.

3. Hide your silver streaks - just cover them underneath a bunch of your other hair.

4. Do some elaborate ritual found in some arcane and obsure, creepy website on how to reverse ageing. Or just google it.

5. Distact them by changing a topic. For me, that might mean asking which of my other relatives have or have not any grey streaks. Subtle, and then my parents get into an argument over whether my third cousin twive removed i

I hope you guys find this useful. Google couldn't help find any so this is for anyone who has the same problem as me...
