Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I sit around, make shit up, and very occasionally get paid for it.

Occasionally is not on the list, but otherwise, you're OK there, top-1000-words-wise.

Argh, I finally made a phone call that I have been avoiding for days and got voicemail. Let me get my onerous task over with!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Teppy move words.

Ha, this is me, too. Also I read books. That's about it.

So, folks (paging Hec!), I need a new haircut. I've been growing it out for a while, but I just don't love the way it looks, and the longer it gets, the more time it takes to make it look OK. So now I'm thinking short, or even short-short!

For reference, this is what it looked like on my wedding day; I loved that cut, but I want something shorter now. This is not much shorter, but a little closer to what I'm aiming for. I think even shorter would be better. (That second picture is Julia Stiles in The Bourne Ultimatum, and if anyone can find me a better picture of her hair in that movie, I'd be very grateful!) I think I'd also like to get away from parting my hair, if possible. I've done that for years and would like something a little freer and looser. I don't really know how to do my hair without parting it, though, so... suggestions welcome!

Hmm. Thanks, Tom, but that's a different cut.

Oh, yeah, I think she cut and dyed her hair when she was on the lam in that film.

Probably! I don't recall if sexytimes ensued, as they did after Bourne gave Franka Potente a new 'do in the first movie, but it's probably fair to assume they did.

I help people to learn the truth about themselves and grow to love it.

eta: I was bummed to discover that 'discover' is not one of the most used words. It should be, shouldn't it?
