Could you imagine?
I had a friend who had straight, straight, straight blond hair. When she shaved her head to star in the play 'Wit', it grew back curly and darker colored.

I had blonde hair when I was little. It turned darker as i grew older. It was dark brown by the time I was a teenager. (And now it's turning grey... but at least it's still there!)

My hair is freaking long.

It's actually long enough to cut again (eg: at least 10 inches to donate to Locks of Love). Problem is, I don't want short hair when I get married, which will be approximately 1 year from whenever Alex gets around to finally asking me. And 1 year is not enough growth. And I don't want to cut half of it off and waste a year's worth of growth that could have been donated if only it had been long enough. So I'm stuck with this really long hair and the prospect of it getting even longer before it's over with. I like the look but it gets annoying. And heavy.

Here's another rant...

Alex should ask you already. Hmph. If he won't, find someone who looks like him and have him ask you.

Well, he keeps saying we don't have enough money... and he's right. I mean, I can barely pull off a party, a wedding right now is out of the question. But it sure would be nice to at least be able to call him my fiancee instead of my bf.

Understandable. Weddings are a huge money thing. But there are private ceremonies, yes? The big "for everyone else" wedding production can happen later.
I'm just venting. I'm hugely grouchy today. I just think you're a catch and he's a fool for not asking you.
Don't listen to a word I say.

I say romantically elope. Do the whole escape from the house in secrecy with one suitcase and run off into the night. Hmmm. That's romantic.

A rant from our crickets:

"Chirp, chirp, chirp... Hey, that big dragon looks like he wants to..."

(Chomp, chomp, chomp, goes the dragon)

See, that's when the cricket knight on horseback was supposed to come and rescue me from the dragon. Oh well, only in fairy tales...
:D
