Ha ha, me too (staying dirty blond). Even my highlights were subtle (a light blonde that mixed well.... almost not noticeable.) I don't think I need to dye my hair a totally different color to be noticed (and dying your hair also comes with the possibility that you may hate it even more then your color before, and if that happens, you're out of luck...) Plus, like you said, the damage it would cause... though in my case, it's not so much about that since I damage my hair daily with the straightener.

And I damage mine with the blow dryer. Ugh. I like what you said here: QUOTE I don't think I need to dye my hair a totally different color to be noticed In high school I remember changing myself all the time since I had no idea where I fit in. Then my senior year I realized something and gave up on the whole "fitting in" ordeal. Instead of dressing to show myself off or give myself attention, I started wearing really normal preppy-like clothes. That's my style now. I'm sure fashionistas would call it boring or uncreative, but why should I care about my outside appearance so much when it's my talking and personality I want to show? Hehe, that and I have no money for certain clothing styles. =D But I think I prefer it this way too.

Ha ha, I forgot that: I use the blow drier too. >_< That's good that you're confident with yourself now. ^_^ I always like to think that high school is a time to really find out what kind of a person you are or are going to be (either then, or college). But only being a sophomore, I wouldn't really know. (dang, if only I had more wisdom.) Chalk that one up as another imperfection. I've already given up on fitting in with the 'popular' crowd here. They're not worth it: they're too close-minded and untrustworthy for my attention, if you ask me. It's a pity that they don't see anything beyond their own personal worlds, so to speak. Sure, I suppose you could say I hang out with the geeky guys who don't exactly fit into their respective classes, but it's a heck of a lot more fun then getting rumors spread about me every other day like some do in the cliques. As for what I wear; I stay far, far, far away from brand clothing (Abercrombie, etc.) I don't want to be a walking billboard, I want to be unique. ^_^

Aww, that's not the greatest that you had to grow accustomed to it though. At least you learned not to let it hurt you, though. I know if someone attacked me with teasing words, I definitely wouldn't show it, but I would feel a tad upset within myself. I'm too sensitive. Yay for not falling to conformity! I totally agree. I think the main reason those clothes are popular is because of the fact that to be 'popular' or in a clique, you have to have them. I mean, I'd give respect to those who like the clothes and don't wear them simply to get into the "popular" crowd, like you said... I personally just don't like the fact that it's basically advertising for a company to have an enormous brand across your clothes. They should be paying those who buy the clothes to wear them, not the other way around. Chalk up another two imperfections for me: Too sensitive, too opinionated at times when no one wants to listen.
