Home to the buzzing bees (Random things I've been forgetting to mention)

[gement]

At long last, I'm cutting off about 20" of my hair this evening. (Before you ask, yes, I'm donating it. Before you also ask, yes, I've been thinking about doing this for years, on and off. Before you also also ask, yes, I finally have a lot of pictures of me with the full hair.)

Suggestions on amusing short hairstyles between sassy bob and buzz cut appreciated. (Send reference photos!)

I have successfully made ice cream twice now, once sour cream flavored and once green tea flavored. Next will probably be dark chocolate, though I've also had requests at work for raspberry sorbet.

We have been entertaining J's other partner T with dinner and smoochies once every two weeks for a little while now, and it's pretty marvelous, even when baggage hits the fan as it did last Friday. (Why, yes, when you do that thing with her that you don't do with me, I cry.) But then there has been grown-up communicating and it has all been good. Friday we're going to a jazz club!

We got housemates. One of them we've only met to sign the paperwork... She paid the rent and will presumably present herself and her cat eventually. The other is just for the summer, so we'll be shopping again for one more come September. Know anyone?

I ordered some compression shirts, but they haven't come yet. Really looking forward to shopping for mens' shirts with an appropriately shaped torso, though.

I ordered some stronger mood stabilizers, and they have come, but I've only had to use them twice so far, and when I tried taking one before work, I was a zombie all day, so less of that.

I've been editing someone else's Supernatural fanfiction (blissfully ignorant of canon) and she turns out to be German, so she's going to help me with background details for my work. Hurrah for immediate karma gratification. I've been churning out about 1000 words a day on new "I was just thinking this" from my own universe... and noticing still more plot bunnies nibbling around. Well, angst bunnies, I suppose. I'm still stumped as to this external plot thing.

I'm feeling pretty on-the-ball, overall. And I bought $10 hair scissors at the drugstore yesterday, snickersnack.

So, how much are you guys looking for per month?

[adularia.livejournal.com]

I suggest Rad Dyke Spiky Hair, but it takes a daily application of some pretty heavy-duty product and a three-weekly application of clippers and texturizing scissors to keep from descending into Frumpy Dyke Muppet Hair.

Alternately, pixie-bob ftw, if your hair will do that (mine won't.)

Or worse, frumpy-middle-aged-Virginian hair. Guess which one I worry about descending into..
But then I've never managed to put product on my hair daily.
I'm pretty sure that for the moment I'm sticking with about this length, (which is 3 months grown out from a shave) because it's all one length (and can therefore be maintained with clippers at home) and doesn't yet need brushing. I don't miss having to brush my hair.

Can I see picture of pixie-bob? The concept is appealing, but I don't know that it's been well explained.

Wooo! I'm glad you're finally cutting it. Pictures!

Strongly second spinnerin_ftw's suggestion on cut -- I think you could look really good with a cut like that. I might start with a bob first, as going to a rather shorter and more labor intensive cut like that will take a fair bit of adjusting, but you should definitely try it some time soon.

I never know what to say in response to posts like this one.

Unless, of course, it's "TAKE IT ALL OFF!!!!"

Sooooon. I will be joining the hairless ranks after I have enjoyed sassy bob, bangs that I will not keep long enough to have to maintain, Standard Boy Hair, and Dyke Spike.

It appears you've got a new hair plan in place. I'm looking forward to seeing it unfold.

Call me, I've been leaving you voicemail. 8)

I still want to talk to you about the fall opening at your house... I *do* need a wierdo friendly environment. If your place has room for more bookshelves, it could be a good fit.

Any chance we'll get pictures of short-haired you? I've wondered for years, y'know.

Oh, and I think a pixie bob would look really incredibly awesome on you.
