I had at least two or three very interesting, possibly really good dreams, but I seem to have forgotten most of all of them.
Always a sad start to the day. ...Oh and it's 1:36 PM, I didn't intend on sleeping in so late today.

Anyone here know about hair dying and bleaching hair and stuff? I want to dye my hair a dark blue, as opposed to this light orangish-red it is right now, and I'm afraid it'll turn purple. So I want to bleach it, but I already did 2 or 3 months ago, and my mom tells me my hair will get all brittle and fall out/break off, which I don't want either. So I need help. Also, I've been up for nearly 24 hours.

@chaotic:Go to sleep, dude.

Purple hair would be dope.

My friend dyes his hair purple and it looks pretty great. If you want I could ask him for advice about bleaching and dyeing.

My laptop's fan (the actual fan part, not the assembly) is loose and wobbles sometimes, making a god awful grinding noise. Fixing it means removing the motherboard, if it even can be fixed short of replacing the entire fan. I want to play Minecraft but I'm afraid of doing anything that might cause the fan to spin up.

Yes computer advice thread but this makes me mildly sad so it goes here.

Removing the motherboard would mostly involve unscrewing things, and then when you reassemble it there'll be one thing left over and you won't know what it was supposed to do.

Me looking nice amounts to spending time making my hair less messy than usual, wearing glasses, and making sure none of my clothes have stains. Otherwise I wear whatever's clean

EDIT: @Yoink: If it's not to big of a problem or anything, that would help a lot. But you don't have to

@Caroline:I personally just wears jeans and a polo shirt when I'm not trying to be fancy.  But if you need to be fancy in a hurry, swap out the jeans for dress slacks/socks/shoes.  It's a sort of casual fancy, but much fancier than jeans.

I don't have much advice to offer that's not kind of male-centric, though.

Dress codes vary a lot with the occasion. Jeans and polo shirt are well enough for a soft concert (even when you're the one playing the music) or other stage act. For a dinner party, you'll want a white dress shirt, but your other clothes don't matter much. For a formal party, you'll want the vaguely-defined 'evening suit'. And so on and so on. If you want to provoke, dress however you want, and not how others want.

Dress codes don't make much sense, honestly. Why is a white dress shirt fancier than a checkered one?

[TheBiggerFish]

Because checkered shirts are more cluttered than white ones.

I just made that up but it sounds right.

I'm not sure I agree with that.   Except for the last bit and all.

[chaotic skies]

Personally, I just where whatever, unless it's something really important.

[Arx]

I kind of meander through it. Jeans and a button-down are slightly smarter than the polo, chinos or slacks are another step up, a dress shirt is one more, suit pants are the next level, add jacket and tie and you're pretty much at maximum.

I tend to go with suit pants, dress shirt and tie as the fanciest. Jeans and button-down is anywhere from casual to smart casual, which is convenient.

[chaotic skies]

If I'm trying to be incredibly fancy (say, a wedding or graduation) I'll put on a full-blown, three piece suit, with a bowtie. Otherwise, if it's less formal (like a meeting of some kind) I'll throw on dress pants and a nice button-down shirt.

I'm shocked to learn that polo shirts are acceptable in some parts of the world.

For formal occasions, braid some bones (real or carved from wood etc.) into your hair and cover yourself in as many spikes as you can fit whilst still being able to move easily. Then drop acid about twenty-five minutes prior to arriving at the occasion in question.

I approve of this formal attire
Now if I could only acquire some bones, long hair, spikes and acid...

I can get bones and spikes, what kind of bones do you want? I've got human cat dog giraffe elephant squirrel deer and cow.
