I look kind of cute today. You can at least see how I've cut my hair.

(1) You look fabulous!

(2) Did you buy that cami with me?

(3) LOVE the hair!

(4) I got your phone message and don't know when a good time is to call you back.

(5) Visit me!

That hairstyle looks great on you, SA.

(1) You look fabulous!

Thank you!

(2) Did you buy that cami with me?

Quite possible--Lane Bryant. Yes, it was with you, because I asked if it was too pink.

(3) LOVE the hair!

Thank you! It was like 12 inches of hair, donated it all to locks of love. I was going to wait until Graduation and have it be a big pivotal "I'm becoming a different person and I will express that through my hair!" moment, but honestly, it weight a ton and was usually not terribly attractive or easy to maintain.

(4) I got your phone message and don't know when a good time is to call you back.

Well, I have twenty minutes before my first class, so now would be okay, or this afternoon after four. Whatever works for you. :)

(5) Visit me!

I want to! But there's this thing about not having any money when you get back from someplace that seems to plague me always.

Thanks Calli. :) This is one of two times it's looked cute since I got it cut, due to lack of initiative while in Guatemala.

I'm having trouble picturing Bogart with an echidna.

Going back to yesterday, I can't believe nobody else thought: "Here's looking at you, echidna."

::makes face:: Off I go to Christianity class.

SA, come back and tell me how to be one, because I think I've got it down, and then I encounter the humans, and I find I'm right back at square one.

In other news, what are the implications for Wally? [link]

wow! Good for you!! It is super sassy and flattering.

My hair obsession right now is wondering what would happen if I let all the dye grow/get cut out of my hair. How much grey do I really have? What would it look like? Looking at my roots it seems that I've gotten a LOT more grey hairs in the last year.

I so do not have the patience for what would be months of fading out dye.

I did this two years ago! And you look fabulous. Very fetching style for you.

::basks in the glow of Buffistas good works and cutitude.::

Ew, Cindy, that's right up there with the worst of ita's links.

SA, come back and tell me how to be one, because I think I've got it down, and then I encounter the humans, and I find I'm right back at square one.

HAR. You make me think of Chesterton saying tartly, "It is not true that Christianity has been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried." If he were alive today he'd have to add something about all the Robertsons and Dobsons who wouldn't know the real deal if it kicked them in the ass, but who still won't shut up about it and are tainting it and turning it into an insult and a label of shame. Only he'd be a lot more crisp and witty and British about it.

SA, you look amazing - your hair frames your face beautifully, and the curls look so lush and springy without all that weight pulling them down.

Raq, that whole nasty business with the kids and the videotape (the fuck?!?) and the parents and the antiSemitism is just horrifying. Just... ugh. What a foul bunch of humans (which leads right back to Cindy's post above).

And WTF with not being paid yet? How on earth are your employers justifying this? Why are they not moving heaven and earth to fix it? I'm totally wroth on your behalf.

The topic of "real" faith has been large in my life lately...regardless of what that faith may be. Is it simply a belief, or more importantly, a code by which one chooses to navigate life...separate or in concert with intercession? Lots of deep discussion on this subject but no real resolution.

On the Fella front. Good news. It seems our issues may be rapidly resolving. He had a list of things he needed to go away and do before we moved any further and he's been busy-beavering them with gusto.

He also mentioned last night that he got a 'sign' (I'm big into signs) about 6 months ago that...I'm the one! We will, of course, see...but it has gone from a bit angsty to really fun.

I have a 'quest' for him to undertake in recompense and he's pretty excited about it. We both use metaphor like crazy and this adventure is fraught with it.

Also? One of the reasons he waited a year to call is that he thought I had kids! HAR. (I talk about the 'boys' that I take to see boy movies and have been known to call Bartleby 'my little boy.') Bless his heart for plucking up the courage anyway.
