How I did it
It made me
more confident 
How I did it: My mom got into it, and then she got me into it! As for "how" I did it, well, I don't know. The hardest part was jumping out of the plane, the rest was easy. Just breathe deep, enjoy yourself, and arch your back.And as one of the instructors Kip told my mother,"Remember, you were up there."You can do it, even if you think you can't. That is why this sport is such a self-esteem booster. And another great quote:"Skydiving is 95% mental… Read how I did it…

Highly amused!
How I did it: I did it for the first time a few days ago. I don't wish to do it again, but it's one of those experiences I think you should have! Dialed a guy I went on one date with years ago. He was my dialee expressly because I don't care about him anymore! He also lives several states away.I think I talked about my freezer, and maybe my birds, and our one date. He was actually my first date, and I had always wanted to tell him that. I liked t… Read how I did it…

Pleased
How I did it: I drew a little picture, wrote a bit of text, and licked a wee stamp! Then I stuck it in a miniscule mail box! Read how I did it…

for my birthday with my mother many moons ago! ah, it was fun. jason mraz was more fun though, and he was the second act…or was it her? i can’t remember.
I’ve tried black with a blue sheen, bright red, and purple that looked more blue than anything.
If you’re not one to commit to a color, I suggest Manic Panic hair dye. I’ve found it in Hot Topic, Sally Beauty Supply and online, and it washes out in a week or less. It’s also made with natural ingredients, so it’s not hard on your hair.
I’ve also tried L’oreal’s Black Onyx, which is that black with a blue sheen. It’s much more permanent, but that brand has only a few “out there” colors.
The Manic Panic website has lots of pictures and suggestions for making their dye last longer. Some users don’t wash their hair very often (not an option in my case, my hair is really oily), and others let the dye sit in their hair overnight, or for 4 or 5 hours. The container says leave it in for an hour or something…but that’s way too little to make your color last.
Good luck!
