I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

sweatshirts are cute! what?!

I made a hair decision too. I am not going to the crazy Bundy-supporting lady anymore. done.

Zen - I'd let it grow in salt & pepper. give it a rest at least for a bit. I am all for more women showing their real hair. My god if you only looked on media, you would think no one had grey hair until they were in their 60s.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just saw a great sweatshirt dress in a magazine and I want it.

I also saw a youngish woman with the cutest (natural) gray hair this morning, and I want that, too.

Of course, for my own part, I got my highlights refreshed last night and also a few inches cut off.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm so happy I got about 3 inches cut off. (Of course, the funny part is that it still basically hits my shoulders, so it was craxy long [for me] when it was cut.) And the thing is, if I had just gotten a trim to give it a decent shape but kept the length, it looked good, especially when it was blown out.

But my issue is 100% a sensory thing. I cannot STAND the feel of my hair on my shoulders and upper back, especially when it's wet, but also dry. That's why it was in a crazy bun all summer. I'm envious of women who have long pretty hair, but I can't do it without driving myself insane.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm not the person to ask about hair styling, as i get my hair trimmed every six months, and am letting my hair go salt-and-pepper.(partly because I want to see how it looks and partly because I'm afraid of chemically treating my already thinning hair.)

Just that quickly, I forgot that zenkitty was talking about her hair, so I seriously sat here for a minute trying to figure out what "Short, salt and pepper" means in term of politics.

Oh, brain. I worry about you.

I think I'm going to turn the heat on so I can put Madam President on my toes. Even though apparently my "most efficient" neighbors used like a quarter as much gas as I did last year. I mean, there could be an apartment a quarter the size of mine, but the gas company does not indicate.

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

Steph, my brain is like that all the time! The other day I was standing in the office wondering what to have for dinner, and the oven dinged to remind me that I was already in the middle of making chicken pasta. Forgot it that quick.

Short, salt and pepper, seems to have won! I'll go to a stylist this week for a cut, and have them dye it back to its natural color, and then I'll let it grow out.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Short salt & pepper FTW! I've been considering toning down from all-over color to just streaks, so I can find out what my natural color even is these days.

Has anyone ever sold a totaled car for salvage? Is there a better way to recycle a totaled car?

(Everyone is FINE by the way. Except the car, which was 15 years old anyway and not a huge financial loss except we weren't planning to replace it this year. Also the guy who hit it may not have insurance, so that's EXTRA FUN.)
