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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.)

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

I take it the car doesn't drive anymore? Because yeah, if you can't donate it, I'd sell for salvage

It can't be driven, and the quote for repairs we got from the mechanic was about twice the KBB value. I haven't done the research yet if there's an earth-friendly way to get rid of a car, other than salvage. (Damnit, the battery's less than two years old!! It had less than 90k miles!!)
