mohawk
well, I was growing out my hair. I decided yesterday I couldn’t deal with all my conventional curls anymore. ‘regular’ hair just makes me feel frumpy, it had to go. I decided to hawk it, not go all the way bald, and I didn’t take pics, sorry head shave fetish folks. Wolfe sheared me just now, and it feels great to see some scalp! Much cooler in the hot muggy weather. My hair is curly and tends to grow out rather than down for the first 6 inches, so I was feeling fro-ish and not in a pleasant way. Too hard to get it looking nice. The hawk is easy, I never spike them all up, have never gotten the hang of how to get it spikey. But I like braiding it back or just letting it go as it does which is still up, but wavy, as my hair has too much substance to fall to the side even when thinned down to the hawk.
Ah well, such is hair, it comes and gos, shears and grows!
I’m addicted to neopets, for those of you who don’t know, and that is what I spend most of my play time doing. Now Mcdonalds is featuring neopet plushies in happy meals. I’m not a plushy person, but the sly marketers have also attached a code to each plushie that you can enter in the neopets game and get online in game bonuses for. Well, I’ve been eating a little too much Mcdonalds (even though you can buy them without the meal) and the dogs have come into a wealth of small plushy toys to tug between them.
So, there has been a bunch of media lately about studies done showing obese people drink more more diet soda. I’ve looked into the studies and they seem to be correlational rather than causational. In other words they don’t show that drinking diet soda causes people to be heavier…l so hmmmm, could it be that fat folks like me drink diet soda because we’re fat? and we think it might help. I hate silly implications in non-causal studies. For instance, the largest demographic of smokers are teen age girls… so guess what! Take up smoking and you too may become a teen age girl! Some how I don’t think it’s working that way.
Just in case, I’ve decided to cut back anyways. (joking) I’ve been trying to kick the soda habit for eons. I’m switching to iced tea. I still get my wee bit o caffiene, and I cut out the aspartame and the carbonation which are my big concerns. Having been told that it’s the fizzies, not the sugar is the main culprit in causing teeth to rot, and the fact that I had to have 11 , ELEVEN evil fillings this year, when the most I’ve ever had in my entire life previously was 3, I have some incentive. All the aspartame too concerns me, I hope the cola companies get wise and switch to splenda, I think they’d sell alot more diet products that way. I bet it’s more expensive, and that’s what is holding them back.
Enough out of me, my neopets are waiting.
