Heidi Montag

"The way I see it, if you want a rainbow

you have to put up with the rain."

Yesterday after school I spent my entire afternoon/night doing things in preparation for the prom.

First it was nail time. I got fake nails and they are kind of strange to have on. I have always had the awful habit of biting my nails, therefore I have never really had nails longer than my fingrtips. What a strange feelings.

After that was hair time. My mothersaid my hair was too dark and needed a highlight so I said whatever and went and got it done. I didn't really care either way. It took over two hours for the highlight and cut and I don't even like it. It looks so strange. The weirdest and most unnatural color ever. Hopefully a few washes will fade the color. Fortunately hair grows so I will not be stuck with this color forever.

Finally after that I was done. I got to come home. Yay!

I left at 3:30 and got home a little after 9. What a day.

It made me think about the growing obsession with outward appearance. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy dressing up and looking nice, but I think that this craze is starting to get out of control. There is a fine line between what is normal and what is excessive. One person who crossed the line: Heidi Montag. I always see magazines with headlines announcing the thirteen surgeries she has had to look a certain way. It is sad that she feels ugly without the surgery. It makes me think that she has some major insecurity problems. Personally, I think that these proceedures are probably not helping with the problem and until she deals with the deeper issues, she will not be happy. I hope she can pull it together before its too late.

My job for us all: Stop obsessing over outward appearance. Try to spend less time primping, and more time enjoying life!
