The latest chopped cabbage

[aceofkittens]

The wind seems to have died down, which is a good thing, because my window is broken and liable to just fall out any minute now, I think. I have to call the landlord, but his lack of English-language skills is always a deterrent.

When I was walking from my car, the gusts of wind were literally pushing me around. This high wind thing ended up with the power knocked out for at least four hours tonight, sending me into a tailspin of soul-searching. While I do have a lot of candles (and peeing by candlelight is always exciting!), electricity is what I'm all about. The laptop didn't seem to be discharging as quickly as I had feared it would, but I logged out to conserve the battery, just in case. Then I sat there, surrounded by candles, pining.

The computer owns me.

I think something has got to be done about my hair. I lost another chunk of it to a rubber band yesterday. I wonder if I'd still look absolutely horrible with short hair or if my newly rediscovered cheek bones would make a difference.

Mmm... marzipan.

Putting in a vote that you'd look good with short hair, provided of course you went to a good haircutter. I hate haircutters, they're always pissy and act like they're better than you, or maybe that's just my paranoias talking. So I'm growing my hair out so I don't have to deal with them :)

Hair!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Vanity prevents me from posting a photo to disprove this supportive statement. :)

And yes, salon people are genetically engineered to be pretentious & condescending.

I hate them.

I hate them with every fibre of my being.

Okay.

Maybe not every fibre, but you know what I'm talking about.

A few very important fibres of my being hates salon people with a vengeance.

All cotton fibers, I am sure!

Or do you mean the hairs on your head?

I remember my last haircut. I'd finally found a good hair cutter - this Scottish girl named Veronica. I'd been going to her regularly at that point. I went in and said, "Well, give me the usual." We were having a lovely time chatting and I wasn't paying attention. Then she was done, and I freaked out, because her version of "the usual" was a good 8 inches shorter than what I was expecting to see. She seemed shocked, "What? I always cut it that way."

As I said, that was my last haircut.

Hehehe :) Ah yes, the 'I always cut it that way' defense.

Right up there with the 'But this looks better on you' defense. Shyeah.

Hrmm...

I love your hair, but it does have a life of its own. Define what you mean by short?
