You late-night people=silly.

Timelies!

Someone posited the theory that women with short hair were displaying "too much" independence by refusing to spend the extra time and energy that taking care of long hair requires (YTime/EnergyMV) and that it was a sign of pernicious feminism and assault against The Way Things Should Be(TM).

Huh. I think it's much easier to take care of my hair when it's long. (Of course, I tend to interpret "take care of my hair" as "wash, comb, and do whatever necessary to keep it off my face," and with long hair, I can just put it in a ponytail or a braid. Short hair requires headbands or clips or barrettes or something, and takes way more time. Long hair does take much longer to wash and comb out, though, but that's the easy part.)

askye - insent x2.

I had short hair until I could make my own decisions and then my hair was long until after college... then I chopped it all off after getting my SCUBA certification (because I'm a dork... before would have been much wiser). I loved having long hair, but I kept it up mostly with a series of bic pens stuck in a bun. Sometimes a watercolor paintbrush. Not very elegant.

It was hella cheaper than getting styled every 4-6 weeks.

Iris lets me braid hers, and it is getting much longer. She was toddler-sans-hair for years, so this is a huge change. If she ever wants to cut it or dye it pink, though (or whatever, but the reigning color is pink) I'll get her the clippers and/or the color and let her have at it. My mom will be thrilled.

I, like Laura, go back and forth with my hair. I'll grow it for a while and then chop it all off. It was to the middle of my back when I started posting among the Buffistae, and thanks to my over-weaning ego and the digital camera, you have all have regular updates on my hair progress over the past six years. Right now, it's just about shoulder length. I'm growing it out because Joe said that he really liked my hair long, way back when. But I think the difference there is that if I were to chop it all off, he'd still think I was hot and try to jump me just as much as if I had extensions put in that reached my ass.

My ultimate dream hair is Dorothy after her makeover at the Emerald City Spa. Also? I'd like to use a snood.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIANA!

But I think the difference there is that if I were to chop it all off, he'd still think I was hot and try to jump me just as much as if I had extensions put in that reached my ass.

This is absolutely true.

Also - I'd like to toss a good news out there:

I just found out that I was awarded a Foundation scholarship for next fall and next winter at my college! WOOHOO!!!

Yay, Aims! You rock!!!

Now that the plantar fasciitis in my right foot has cleared up, apparently, I'll be having it in my left foot now.

Yeah. That's how it went with me too- it sucked! I was wearing sneakers non stop for the better part of a year.

Also, I am Teppy WRT owning my own appearance

Happy Birthday to Juliana!

Exactly, I don't hesitate to tell DH how I prefer he wear his hair/beard/clothes, but it doesn't mean I expect him to follow my whim. He expresses his opinion on how he likes my hair, etc., but always makes me feel that I look great.

Just had to use my Big Girl Voice with an online pharmacy.

I paid for overnight shipping. Nothing came yesterday. I'm told its coming today.

"We'll refund part of the shipping and charge you for two day"

"No. You'll refund all of the shipping because I sat around here yesterday waiting for UPS and now I'm going to have to find somebody to do that today."

Ugh. Now I have to find someone to sit around here all day. (Hopefully one of the roommates will be around)
