"your eyes are deep pools that are the color of $hit."


that quote is from Jacob. And this blog is on eye color. Hazel, blue, green, brown, amber, violet, and red are colors that appear in the eyes. Sometimes one eye can be one color and the other can be another color. It is really interesting. How come all our eyes arn't the same color? I don't know the answer to that question but do know that your eye color is polygenic. You inherit your eye color from your parents. The amount of pigments in your iris determines the color. "Three main elements within the iris contribute to its color: the melanin content of the iris pigment epithelium, the melanin content within the iris stroma, and the cellular density of the iris stroma."-Wikipedia. That doesn't really explain it to me entirely. I think having color in your eye is really interesting.

My hair. Green. I wanted it green because I needed a change in my life. I was bored with my hair at the time, not that I worry about how I look. Recently I had just purchased a bike that is green, and I guess I kind of wanted to match it. I don't even know if that wa the reason, but what I did know is that I wanted something different.

People usually just have brown, blond, or black hair. If they enjoy that thats fine but there are a lot of people who don't like their normal hair color so they change it. Sometimes it is more drastic other times it is more subtle. I chose the color green I think because it is my favorite color. I like the color green. Its neat. When you have hair that is green like mine was you get a lot of comments about lepricons and St. Patricks Day. I think because it was march. The color invoked ideas and emotions into people. I think that was cool.

I like the idea that my hair would turn heads. I'm sure that if my hair wasn't BRIGHT green then I wouldn't have gotten as many looks. Some people don't bleach their hair before they dye it and the coor is never as bright. The bleach burns though.
