wow...needy much?

Nah, it's no biggie. I do tend to filter some stuff away from the RL people, including her, and that won't change. (If I was still annoyed with her, I'd be all WHATEVER at this, which, huh, I now remember was in fact my codeword for her when communicating online with my sis.)

ETA: but Erika's not wrong.

Oh, speaking of my sister -

Ya'll may recall that she got laid off and generally dicked around by her employer a month or so back? She's just finished filing for unemployment.

And because her life is a constant stream of crazy ups and downs, she will in fact be making more money on UI than she was working full time at the Symphony. Plus, since they gave her a cock and bull line about wanting to bring her back on next fall (and she was supposed to sit around and wait for this?!), UI determined that she does not need to even look for work until then.

Suck on that, MSO.

Oh, Hec. I met a stylist over the weekend who is after your heart. We were talking while I did up her contract and I mentioned how the last time I got my hair done with highlights and base it took 5 hours. She gaped and I told her my hair was down to my shoulders and she did all of it. (She went through 4 boxes of foil. Oyvey!) She told me she never did that and that I should never ever ever grow my hair out because "A lot of women would kill to be able to pull off short hair like that. Leave it alone."

Robin, I think that cut is cute. Frankly, between your cutting your hair, Allyson cutting hers, and that pic of Chrissie Hynde, I have been tempted to cut my hair as well. But we'll see. It'll have to be something that is as close to brush-and-go as possible. (Even that's a bit much. I've been known to skip the brush on some days.)

"A lot of women would kill to be able to pull off short hair like that. Leave it alone."

Yeah, well, cheekbones like yours are in short supply.

You are sweet, although I have no illusions about looking like Chrissie. But I think it's a fabulous cut all the same.

It is a great cut, but even cooler on a professor. Also, you can practice telling your department chair, "Not me baby, I'm too precious. Fuck off."

Love. Also, my brain is reminding me of Phoebe telling CH how to play "Smelly Cat", which, although random, is sort of a cute thought.

Health ~ma to your cousin, Spidra. I hope it turns out to be nothing.

My husband thought I might be interested in road-tripping with some of his Frisbee team this summer for a week. Silly husband, he knows I don't speak Frisbee, but I've got to give him points for trying.
