west coast love & east coast stress

so i did decide to go on that vacation last month! i spent two weeks in las vegas and california.
i am completely in love. you lucky westerners! something about it just completely lifted my soul off the ground.
im moving out there. to n.las vegas. (dont get me wrong, i want cali!)
soon.
i've taken the necessary steps to get some loans.
and it's all workin out.
gonna drive my big fat twenty year old cadillac across country, wish me luck!
going on a whim for an extremely rude awakening.
time to make that transitional stage in my life where i move out of mommy and daddy's and grow up.
dont know why i wanna do it across country... i'm a weirdo, haha.

as for MY HAIR. well well well... its just BLAHREAH! haha, where i had my first patch.. it's grown back like crazy in the middle (2-3in.) but it still looks all fucking weird around the edges.. but im thankful!
i truly thought it was that black people hair dye i used.. i hoped.
but yeah, aa has claimed another life.
i've got like, two little guys trying to spread their hate on my scalp as of recently.
but it's not wicked bad. infact, i think they might be trying to turning around.
weird little fuzzies. everywhere. not too much shedding.

and i must say im very lucky and thankful.
i still have an ass load of hair!
i DO wear a wig everyday & i explain to anyone who's smart/weird enough to notice.
and at home i just wear a bandana and people come chill all the time. all my friends are tight with it and it certainly hasn't stopped MEN from HARRASSING me.. trying to get me to be their "Lady".
i really do love my wig man. saves me so much time in the morning! saves so much hassle, and best of all.. it's helping my hair recover with all the jojoba oil i dump in it. and it's helping me be okay. im comfortable with wigs now. so if i ever do need to wear a wig everydayyyy i'll be alright.

i hope you're all doing okay. i havent thought much about all this lately so i've just stayed away from the site... but like everyone, it's in the back of your head... gotta talk sometimes!

i just massage it over my whole scalp every night or whenever i feel fit which as of recently has only been a couple times a week. i try not to wash my hair more than three times a week so the natural oils can do their magic with a little help from the jojoba.
but it seems to be helping. i got my first spot back in december... went to the derm. (who sucked and was really insensitive!) whom started shooting my poor head up with nasty steroids. my spot got phenominally(sp?) huge real quick! hell no no, i said. i may as well let it be and let it do it's thing naturally rather than having to deal with shitty side-effects, you know?
so that's what i did. stopped going to the derm. stopped using the fluocinonide cream... then i made a mixture of jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, cedarwood, lavender, and rosemary (aromatherapy babbbby). my hair started growing like CRAZY! where it had first fallen out. i mean, i was still losing hair around it but in time that started growing back too. very sluggishly, of course. but hey! now it's completely chilled out! re-growing. being all prosperous and shit...
i mean, now im kind of fucked. cus i have two more spots. but the one i noticed after the first has taken two months to even be noticeable.. and it's already growing back where it had first fallen out.
so im just taking it day by day.
but kudos to jojoba! my hair is amazingly soft and it seems like it has the courage to re-grow.

if you'd like any measurements or even a concauction- i'd be more than happy to send it to you.
anything to help anybody because i know first-hand that this shit sucks!
