I have zero white or gray hair. Seriously. It's starting to freak me out slightly. Like, is there a wig in the attic going silver?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Totally! It's the only explanation I can think of.
Plus, literary.

Thrive to spite them
One of my uncles and both his daughters started going gray in their twenties. My uncle now has white hair. My cousins dye theirs.
I do not have gray hair or very many wrinkles. Although I'm getting creases from my shoulders in a v along my chest. I don't remember when my parents started going gray but I have great genetics when it comes to wrinkles and aging. I can still pass for being my mid twenties.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
There should be a word for when you do something that's totally awesome but also a really bad idea.
I'm sure the Germans have a word for it!
zuisa, are you a brunette trying for a brighter, more intense red? Try going to a Sally's and getting a hair dye aimed at African-American hair. I've been really pleased at the results on my white-bread, mousy brunette head.
And I am not appalled by the silver in my hair; I just like it to be red. I may say fuck it when I cam 70 or so, but my natural color is mouse, so...dye, baby, die.
What grays I can see when I'm rooty are my pat. grandma's lovely silvery silver, so that's cool. But I don't have enough, so if I went au natural now, I'd be silvery-mouse.
No, thanks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Looking at what I have, the tallow doesn't look that appetizing, and elsewhere the cookbook says frozen butter is an acceptable substitute for suet, so I think I will go with frozen goose fat.
Thanks!

not your mom's socks.
Ok, I'm not getting anything done now. Mainly laughing because someone over here has programmed her Oregon Trail family for three kids: Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. Eagle Expelliarmus!

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

It shows the county I grew up in (Waupaca) says 'soda'. Nuh-uh. We said 'pop'.

You and me both. Of course, it could just be that you can't really tell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have hardly any gray hair, either, and don't expect much -- neither of my parents is completely gray in their 60s.
I'm almost to the point where I don't mind looking younger than I am, but it's really not that great in the professional world. Just a couple of years ago, someone was going on about how I was SO ACCOMPLISHED for my AGE. I was like, lady. I've been in this field for almost 15 years. I'm not as young as you think I am.

Punishingly Intricate
One of my aunts started going grey in high school and another aunt did in her 20s but my mom is still mostly dark haired at 68.
