my last day as an unemployed woman. finally.

[pretty_wanderer]

Today was a quiet and somewhat productive day. My plans for the afternoon fell through, so I decided to spend some quality time with Lycambes the Neopet, do an awful lot of knitting (I have officially finished enough projects for Solstice that I don't feel that far behind anymore) and chat with whomever was online

That's a very nice picture!

My hair takes forever to dry as well. I go to bed with wet hair, wake up with wet (damp) hair.

[pretty_wanderer]

Thank you! :)

It looks (from the few pictures that I've seen of you, anyway) like your hair is of a similar texture to mine, so I'm not surprised at all by that.

If I weren't convinced that blow dryers are a horrible invention, I suppose I could just buy one and stop whining about my hair. As it is, it's good to know that I'm not alone in my hair-related suffering :)

I have a hair dryer, but 1. it takes forever to dry it that way too and my arms get really tired trying 2. it's horrible for my hair anyways.

Yeah my hair is a thinnish texture, but really thick overall....and long.

Yes, I've been warned that there are a *lot* of references to other zombie movies (most notably the two Living Dead movies). I plan to get to it in the next half hour or so.

Yes, I remember you telling me once that it takes your hair hours upon hours to dry (which doesn't surprise me, given how long it is)... I look forward to growing my hair that long, but not the waiting around for it to dry. This all makes me wish that I didn't think that blow dryers were a stupid invention. :)

That's a nice picture.

Good luck at your job, Fellow Wanderer.

to continue the theme...my hair takes a pretty long time to dry also, because its rather thick and not fine textured. I leave the towel on my head for some time if i know im not going to blow dry it. You could always try fluffing it about, sans hair dryer. If your hair is loose it will dry quicker because there's less density. This is why i think that your hair doesnt dry if you sleep on it and put it up wet. Incidentally, hair dryers are not bad for your hair if you use a low setting. I use mine rather frequently, but i take (almost neurotic) steps to keeping its moisture and good stuff inside. I gave my coworker a lesson on how to do this recently, and another girl told me my hair was like "angel hair" which i found rather flattering.

Fluffing it out does speed things up a bit, but not a heck of a lot.

My belief in the silliness of hair dryers isn't entirely based on them being bad for your hair, actually (that's partially it, though I'm evidently mistaken there). It's more based on spending your time and electricity doing something that naturally happens anyway.

Mind, I'm quite a fan of liberal use of sedatives, though sleep comes naturally (eventually), so perhaps I'm just being a hypocrite. :)

Ooh, pretty!

But I hear ya' about the hair... waiting for mine to dry is the longest ten seconds of my day ;)

Awww... poor baby! :p
