I've had my current haircut (shaved on the sides) for almost two years now, maybe? And something similar (short on one side, flopped to the side) for even longer. I do worry that it's getting old/boring/out of touch. But I feel like the only other option I like (or have patience for, since I won't straighten it daily) is...basically to grow it out to be a chin length bob. So that's even more boring!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, stick-straight, babyfine, and now thinner than it used to be. I think...rather than Dench, at the moment it's sort of Hanna Gadsby. Or was. I need to get it at least that short again. The cutter's mandate was "no hair on my face. No bangs--no wait. Leave the bangs long enough to pull aside and pin off my face."

So that's what she did, and I bobby pinned the stuff near the hairline to one side and the longer stuff on top kind of fell across it and hid the pin. Worked.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I told my stylist "I want a change, but I don't know what" and she gave me some options. When I first went to her I said "I dunno, do whatever you want" and she was SO HAPPY and I pretty much had that cut for 5 years 'cause it worked really well with my face

Yep, chin length bob is basically my OTH. But long enough to put up. That will be my hairstyle for eternity. Only semblance of variety is bangs or no. And since I've been trying unsuccessfully to grow them out for some time now, I think with a long bang is my destiny.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had a bob for years, but this summer I decided to try a pixie cut. I think it looks pretty good, but I have to be rigorous about hair appointments. The bob could go for months with just a bang trim. The pixie requires a cut every four weeks or it just looks a mess

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My fantasy hair would be dreads.

My real hair is so straight and fine that it won't even stay in braids....

I keep seeing this story on CNN's website about UFO folks storming Area 51. I can't help but think that if the government actually was secretly studying alien technology someplace that Area 51 would be the last place they would be doing it at.

Our wings are not tired.

Exactly, I thought the same thing.

Another day where my productivity is zilch, at least there is still time to do something about it!

Guess who came home to discover a forgotten soda can had exploded in his freezer Sunday night? I've never seen the whole top of a can come loose and apparently shoot upwards like a combination rocket/water weasel before.

Oh well, I suppose it was due for a good scrubbing anyway.

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

(short on one side, flopped to the side) for even longer. I do worry that it's getting old/boring/out of touch

I sure hope not, because this is my One True Haircut and I'm never going back!

Twitter asked me if I wanted to go back to the classic interface and I said YES but I have a feeling they won't let me keep it for much longer if the new look is rolling out wide.
