Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Note to self: do not google pigtails with SafeSearch off. Even with SafeSearch on "moderate," almost half the results are porn.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh, and in my househld, growing up, two pony tails high on the head on the sides were called "Buffies" or "Buffy-tails", from Buffy in Family Affair(??) This is hw I wore my hair most often in 1st grade.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm old as dirt and wear pigtails.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The girl who's had short hair her whole life has no opinion, unsurprisingly.

I still think (unsurprisingly) that I am right, because pigs' tails are short and ponies' tails are long. See, very logical!

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

I tend to use Steph's definition too.

I also will 'fess up to wearing my hair in pigtails on occasion. Oh. Well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One=pony
Two or more=pig
braided hair=braid

I wore pigtails when I felt like it up until my late 30s. Looked good, too.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That's one thing I miss about longer hair, pigtails. I remember seeing the Buffy ep when she wore them doubled up, with the ends sticking out, and I was all "OMG GENIUS SUMMER HAIR" and it immediately became my go-to exercise hair.

My hair is too short now for pigtails, but I wore them and still would when inspired. When I ran and wore a hat, I loved pigtails, low, because I could still wear a hat (like Jilli said, but a baseball cap).

Grace wears her hair in pigtails almost every day, but I guess that doesn't count.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
