I've got long ( mid back ) straight dark brown hair . It's cut so that all my hair is the same length , and all straight at the bottom .
It's really boring , and i would like to do something special to it . Does anyone have any ideas ? I don't want to dye my whole head , but i wouldn't mind a funky colour or just some highlights . Is it possible to only dye the ends of my hair so i can cut it off just in case my mum freaks . ( i'm going to do it before telling her , because if i ask her first she will refuse flat-out )
Also , i would like to cut my hair so that it is shorter in front , but longer at the back . Kind of like Jojo . What is this called ?

you can just get like the tips of your hair highlighted.. it's kinda hard but it's possible.. if you do it professionally be sure to tell them how much is an "end" of the hair.. they may highlight too mcuh and you'll have to part with alot more than you thought you'd have to.

If your mother is going to make you cut off anything too drastic, I'd start with something which is different, but not too over the top or dramatic - red / reddish brown is cool for this as it feels different and funky but doesn't look so bold as say, platinum blonde or an artifical colour like pink or purple. You could experiment with just doing the tips a nice bright shade but I think this looks better on quite short hair, and would require you to bleach the ends before you put the colour on, and this is quite bad for your hair. For hair your length, I think it would be best to either do the whole head semi-permenantly a red-brown colour (which is cool and different without being too radical, and wouldn't require you to bleach it first) or going for highlights.
