It's a bandeau, and you won't see the pictures of me standing. In this shot, I'm hunched over and you can't see anything.
:rolleyes: You should've known you couldn't put a picture of you in an outfit like that up here without comments from the peanut gallery. I'm guessing that was a picture taken sometime in the 80s, in that time when everyone had perms? I'm assuming the straight hair in your more current photos is what's natural for you, unless you get it straightened now.

It's early 90's maybe 92-93. My hair is naturally wavy, so the humidity made it curly/frizzy. I blow dry my hair and it looks straight.

Did you notice how much Tsu and I look alike in that picture? Remember her beach picture from Hawaii?

It didn't look frizzy at all, just windblown, which is to be expected on the beach. Hmm, I just assumed that straight was your natural hair texture...it suits you well. I guess that means you've chosen a good style to suit your features. :smile: I do understand the effects of humidity on wavy hair though. I guess mine would be more curly if it wasn't so long that it weighted down the curls. I made the mistake in Jr. High of having the front cut into some bangs, and it just curled up and looked hideous...the other kids made fun of me for it, though looking back, they must have liked me more than I thought they did, because they could have been much more cruel about it...I'd have made fun of me with that haircut! I never trusted a hairdresser again! :cry:

I know what you're talking about!

Funny thing is that until my teens, my hair was as straight as a board, my mom was always giving me perms and they would go limp. Now it gets frizzy whenever there is any humidity. I HATE MY HAIR!

I thought she looked blonde in the picture she posted of her on the beach in Hawaii. I guess it's the same issue as when tribdog thought I was a redhead. :smile:

I don't know anyone who doesn't hate their hair! I get a lot of compliments on my hair, but what people don't realize is that they only get to see me wear it down on those rare days when the humidity is just right so it isn't either sticking up from static or frizzed from too much humidity. It only took me 30-some years to find the right combination of goopy stuff to put in my hair to make it behave on the occassions when I really need it to look nice. I hate goopy stuff in my hair, so prefer to just stick it in a pony tail and not bother (like in my picture in the Disney thread...that's what I look like at the end of most days...hair in pony tail, all the shorter hairs that don't make it into the elastic thingy sticking out all over the place, and no make-up...I know I've just destroyed all those images the guys around here have of me).

Ooooouch. Can I get relationship advice here? Please? Ooooooow. Or if I can't, then I'll talk about my hair. I had my hair cut today but it looks exactly the same as it did before it got cut. I hate my stupid hair.

Relationship advice? We do that all the time here. So tell SOS all about it. *Get's a beverage and settles into a comfortable chair*

Well, it's like this. Last year, I broke up with my boyfriend cos I was going traveling and I felt bad for making him 'wait for me' so I broke up with him. But I really wish I hadn't cos even though I don't believe in love, I think I'm in love with him. I'm so not the kind of person that pines over someone, and I'm very happy to think that if we're right for each other then I can wait till we're both ready for that kind of relationship, but every time he 'talks' to another girl it kills me. Oooooouch, and it hurts.

How about in the one I just posted in the Disney thread? I realize now the others all make me look like I have red hair. I don't know why. I suspect it's either the lighting in my house or my camera (I'm currently blaming the camera as an excuse to buy myself a new one. :biggrin:) I'm blonde...sort of a dark blonde most of the year, but when I get any decent amount of sunlight, it turns much lighter.

Sometimes absence does make the heart grow fonder. If you still feel so strongly about him even after being apart for a while, tell him and get him back...quick! Sometimes it isn't until you break up that you realize how much someone really means to you.

Good advice!

Jealousy also involves pride, ego, etc., but usually you don't feel it if you don't have legitimate feelings for someone. So you are back now? I agree--Is there any reason you can't try being together again? I don't know your age or his, but relationship skills are important to have, and you can't get these skills unless you engage in relationships of some meaning/length.

People! Seek enlightenment before it is too late!
 
  • #6,121
Tell him... I can't! I'm a moron and I'm scared. Hmmmm... I should though, cos I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to see anyone else and he's lovely so if he didn't feel the same way, he'd be nice and forget about it and act as though I never said anything. I'll tell him tomorrow. Maybe.

icvotria, seek enlightenment!

If you were enlightened then your emotions wouldn't fling you around that way.
 
  • #6,129
Yes they would! What else are they for?!?
 
  • #6,130
The emotional self should be part of the true mind, but not control it. Emotions tell animals what to do. In enlightenment you rise above the animal plane and make decisions out of true free will.
 
  • #6,131
Yadda yadda yadda. Animals are great, and more free than most people I know. I see what you're saying though, but it's a bit Vulcan for me.

There's not really enough of it showing to tell. I guess it's more light brown there. Also, my monitor is calibrated for Pantone matching. I'm not sure if I see things on it the same way that other people do.

Either Andy Griffith or Daffy Duck, depending upon the post.

Ignore him, Vickie. He's trying to rot your brain so there'll be someone here who can understand him.

:smile: Oh, that is just TOOOOO adorable! :biggrin:

icvotria, if you tell him and he doesn't take you back, you're no worse off than you are now, but if he does want you back, you could be so much better off. Take the chance. If it's true love, it's worth it! And from what you've described so far, it very well might be the real deal. If the only reason you broke up with him really was because you wanted to spare his feelings from having to wait for you while you were away, then that tells me you really do love him...only someone who is truly in love would let someone go to avoid hurting them.

Moonbear I thought you hated cats.

Should I take franzbear sky-diving or bungie-jumping?

On the contrary, in enlightenment nothing is forced (like a Vulcan might force himself to logic). The freedom from emotion that enlightenment brings is a simple result of experiencing deeper truths and feelings. Forcing yourself to be unemotional is not a way of enlightenment. Calming yourself by meditating is a more realistic metaphor for the peace of the enlightened one.

I assign voices to people too. The only person whose real voice I know is DocToxyn's and it's not at all like I pictured. As for you, I know the voice I assign to you isn't what you really sound like, because in my mind, your accent is the same as mine. :smile:

I don't hate them; I just don't want one as a pet of my own. Given my current lifestyle, I'm a bad enough parent for a plant, let alone any animals.

Go for a long weekend with him and do both! Here, take my old bungee cord. Don't worry about that dry rot, it should be just fine for franzbear. :devil:

Then I'll die.

Franzbear, no! you're putting the suit on wrong. You don't tie the cord to your ankles, you tie it around our neck. No, I can tie it around my ankles, not you. you go first, jump to the highest place off of the ground *slips crane man some money* ready, Go! WHy was there a cushion at the bottom ?! Franz is your neck alright? Some good anthrax will get that pain away. crap, he carries aleeve with him [/size] Franz? do ma a favor, go back and tell moonbear to give you a Z-A-P with the elect-chro-egack-yulater I'll be there in a minute

  • #6,144
Moonbear, what good advice you give! Thanks. I think I'll come back and read all this when I'm not as drunk as a skunk and it's a more reasonable hour and then decide what to do. Chances are though, I'll get piiiiised tomorrow (there's a big party) and just blurt out something dumb cos I'm indiscriminately impulsive. I'm going to go to sleep now, the sun's shouting at me. Night night!

You can create a wav file of your voice (I haven't done that in a long time).

Consider it an opportunity to learn from my mistakes. At least they're useful to someone. I just wish someone had given me my own advice 10 years ago! :frown:

Sweet dreams and have fun at tomorrow's party. We'll see you after that I suppose. :biggrin:
