Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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!

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

I help college students write better.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

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?
