I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

According to TMZ, DJ AM is your next celebrity decedent.

Holy shit! Survived a plane crash to die within the year. Crazy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My mom had blond kinky hair as a kid

Black people hair kinky?

She usually referred to it as "brillo pad hair," and has said quite a few times that she's very grateful that neither my sister nor I inherited it. When I was a kid, she didn't straighten it, and it would grow up and out like an Afro for at least five inches or so, rather than hanging down. (She never purposely grew it that long -- she usually kept it at about two or three inches, but there were a few times, after surgery or a broken leg, that she wasn't able to go out to get it cut for a while, and it got kind of wild.) I don't know what it would do longer than that -- I've seen some pictures of her in high school and college with shoulder-length hair, but it's straightened and looks like it's basically plastered into place.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coates has some interesting discussion about that article in the comments, FYI.

Also, I did go to high school with a girl who was biracial with blonde kinky hair.

If you scroll down to post 14 here, the second and third pictures (the woman with pearls, and the guy on what I think is a polo field) have similar hair texture to my mom. [link]

My hair is like that, only with a bald spot. When I was growing up it was called a "Jewfro".

My mom for some reason insisted on "Isro" rather than "Jewfro." No idea why.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Watching What Not To Wear is giving me shoe envy.

Oh, I wonder if the girl I went to high school with dyed her hair then, because it's brown now: [link]

I was thinking of nappier hair than that in my post. I don't know what my hair would do now, but in my youth it would never do anything as identifiable as ringlets like that guy has, or loose like that woman. It's gone all different now in different spots on my head and I'd never dream of growing it out, much less wearing it long and loose like that.
