Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Why would a haircut be cause to cry?

Oh, you sweet, innocent lamb.

I just read a tweet that said: "now I understand the controversy and the warnings: Ghazi is Arabic for Batman"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Have you never watched What Not to Wear? Or America's Next Top Model? Makeovers are never successful for Tyra unless someone has a breakdown.

I'm just happy when a women gets a makeover and she DOESN'T fret about how her husband will react.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Guys with Fancy Lady Hair: [link] (Yup, very gender-normative, but I still giggled at it. Mostly because I have successfully put Tim's long Thor hair in a French twist using 3 glow sticks as hair sticks: [link]

Oh, you sweet, innocent lamb.

I can see why the horrible results of one might be cause to cry after the fact (hey, I've gotten a no-sideburns monstrosity that gave me an unfortunate resemblance to Moe Howard on one occasion), but beforehand at just the prospect? I thought only toddlers did that.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Matt, women are can be very emotionally attached to their hair. I was sick of my waist-length hair for about 2 years before I was finally ready to cut it (and have now, sorta accidentally, grown it back out again). If somebody had cut it before I felt ready, I would have wept buckets - as it was I think I misted up a bit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh yeah, that was me. (And then I went way overboard the other way and was addicted to pixie cuts for about ten years. And now it's long again. But chopping it off that first time was a HUGE deal.)

HA!

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

I just made an ice cream cake for my daughter's birthday. It's in the freezer. I realize this still puts me several levels below Kat and Cash in terms of birthday cakes, but I'm feeling pretty proud right now.

Why is it that when hotels assure you that you won't be charged for a thing (internet access), it invariably shows up on the bill anyway?
