Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Annabel thinks I should dye mine blue.

It's weird, the number of men who think short hair on women is appalling. Not just not attractive on that particular woman, but philosophically inadvisable.

They must be out there. It's the only explanation I have for all those women on What Not to Wear that cling to their ridiculously long ratty hair.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

heh, should have known there'd be agreement on that one. Hmm. I might give it a try, I don't think my bosses would mind.

I assume their long hair feels good to them. I know I always like mine even when its gotten horrible and I always wish I could get it longer.

All that hair has HISTORY. It's sort of like hoarding. I used to have nightmares that I'd cut mine off accidentally.

The real color of my hair is about two-thirds light brown and one third gray. The result is that it's the same color as a rat. One of the (minor) problems with losing your hair to chemo is that you don't have the opportunity to get used to graying hair. It has a little gray, you lose all your hair, and a year later it's "How the hell did I get so old?" On the only hand, I had a lovely soft chemo curl for about a year.

I can't dye mine blue--rigid hospital dress code.

I think AB is just disappointed that, after telling her I was going to get my hair dyed "red," I came home with a darker brown that just looks in certain lights as if I'd been soaking my hair in merlot. IMHO I look gorgeous, but I'll concede it's nothing a 4-year-old would consider red.

I'm okay with people having fetishes; I just prefer that they admit that that's what it is.

I don't mean to offend, but if you indiscriminately prefer long hair on women regardless of how it looks on the individual woman, that veers pretty firmly into fetish category.

I mean, I don't pretend my love of guys with big hands is normal. It's an inordinate affection/predilection, which is the what the garden-variety usage of "kink" has morphed into these days.

Mostly lurking...

So, what should I do until I hear from my boy to find out if he's coming over after his dinner plans?

A) Work on my very difficult transcription project

B) Work on school work

C) Clean my living room and finish the dishes

D) Screw all the stuff I *should* be doing and watch shows from the DVR

But "regardless of how it looks on the individual woman" is i so subjective.
