You know, I think of myself as close to my sister, but we maybe speak thrice yearly.

She's a hermit who screens ALL her calls and makes me look social.

Paul's family occasionally thinks we all don't get together enough, when it feels like OMG, we're ALWAYS having A Family Event.

Also, Ple hates her new haircut.

I like the new-new one! They excused us from JD at 10. No more cases. I took a bus up to the U District, hit my fav barbershop, and had the girl there (who has almost identical texture issues to mine) fix it. She said she could try either a short Louise Brooks kind of bob, or just pixie it up.

It's pixied up. More Factory than Farrow.

About to spend my unexpected afternoon at home HIGHLIGHTING!!!

Ahem.

Oh, your hair.

I'm sorry -- despite the mostly hair content of your post, I, for some reason, thought you meant taking a yellow (or pink) marker and highlighting passages.

I'm glad you got a cut you like!

Hi, Bitches!! I've been skimming 'n skipping for the past, oh, couple of months, but I do lurk and try to catch up on the doings of all of you.

{{{ND}}} They picked the wrong guy. I'm sorry.

Yay, to Kat & Lori! And, all kinds of ~ma to the babies for growing and cooking more.

I am plumb tuckered out these days. Spring break is next week and I can NOT wait. Although, I have a ton of grading to do as well as job search stuff and taxes. Whee. So, I won't really have a week "off." I will, however, have a week where I can sleep and not teach. I love it, but it's exhausting.

Student teaching is going very well. Had my 4th observation today. My Univ. Supervisor told me that just watching me made her tired because the class that she observed requires SO much attention/energy. But, she was impressed by the way I handled everything. Yay!

My mentor teacher rec'd me for a job here next year to the chair of the English dept. That made me happy. This is not my first choice of places to work, but it's not the bottom of the list, either. We'll see how the things on that front go.

I set my hair on fire once, in college. I may have been talking about the existence of god before the actualy singing, which happened when I was trying to light a bong. My friends did not attempt to put me out. They just kind of stared and said "Cool". Luckily, it went out on it's own after only a few seconds.

Ponytails are very practical, when one doesn't have a pixie cut.

Eta: ChiKat! Glad to hear student teaching is going so well!

I can hear Hec's squeee all the way here in the Midwest.

The Cutest Gothy Hairdresser In The World -girl, or someone else?

Oooh, and highlights! Good chemical ~ma to you.

I singed my bangs in art class, it was very embarrassing and I'm sure cemented everyone's belief that I was a strange flake.

I never set fire to my hair. Which is a minor miracle, considering the years of Aqua-netted batcave hair were also the years of smoking clove cigarettes.

I don't recall ever setting my hair afire. I've had short hair for more the 50% of my life, though, so it would have been difficult.

I've never done it before, mind. There was just a tealight in the wrong place.
