I hear you can get a really good man-bun at this barbershop in London. Just look up a Todd, Sweeney. Can't miss it, real good pie shop downstairs from it.

Ya just wreck a tent

Crap on a tree
Turn ya head round 360 degrees

DO THE OWLBEAR (hoot, hoot, hoot)
DO THE OWLBEAR (hoot, hoot, hoot)
Ya'd better do the Owlbear even though it's against the law

Ya eats some honey
Ya hunts all night
Ya swallows a mouse and then ya claw/claw/bites

DO THE OWLBEAR (etc.)

We don't have a proper holiday dance, do we? Halloween has the Monster Mash. I propose we get one in honor of Santa - North Pole dancing.

OK. Now that's out of the way.

GothBard's company holiday party will be... interesting this year, especially considering that they just laid off the guy who organized it and over half the employees in the office it's for.

They should just turn it into a wake.

I keep thinking the office just held a battle royale style luncheon for some reason. Maybe that would have been better.

you will be happy to know that sweeney Todd was the first musical I ever saw. My high school put it on, and it was so good we had people swearing it was full of ringers.

The first play I saw was South Pacific, it was the only time I can remember seeing my dad sing and dance at the same time.

I found a support group for people with mental illness in town. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. When I lived in Jacksonville, before my divorce, I occasionally went to a few - they weren't super helpful in of themselves, but I made some nice friends who were, outside of the group situation, more helpful and supportive. There weren't any in the county I lived in after my divorce in South Florida, so it kind of slipped my mind up here.

I haven't made any friends since moving to Ohio, so I'm kind of hoping this kills two birds with one stone.

I had a major anxiety freak out/panic when I went over my finances today..the idea of seeing other people who might have ideas of where I can find work, or other help, is about the only thing that got me through the day today. I am all out of my acute panic stuff, and the doctor won't refill it - apparently this county is really bad on pill trafficking, so all the doctors and hospitals have lists of controlled substances they just straight up won't refill. Kind of sucks when you really need it.

Today's plus side - the library had the only Jim Butcher book I hadn't read in today! Brief Cases, a collection of Dresden Files shorts.

I can't express how much taking a hot shower, putting on classical music, and reading a few shorts helped. I have to remember that in the future. It won't help when I'm out of my house, but it's good to learn coping mechanisms where you can.

Sigh Now I want to re-read the entire anthology. And play a FATE game (they have the official RPG setting for DF).


So my mom got a haircut. It actually looks nice, but it made me think of something.

I don't think 98% of women can make it to 60 with their hair still long

Seriously. Every retired woman I've ever met has short hair. I think I've met more elderly MEN with long hair than women.

I think you're mistaking ability for willingness.

I once had hair flowing down my back below my shoulderblades. Then I went swimming and it nearly drowned me. I cut it short. And now I can't stand long hair.

The women with whom I've spoken about it have all given me pretty much the same story: They didn't care for keeping their hair long, but their husbands liked it so they kept it that way. Once they were older and their husbands didn't care as much they cut it short not because they couldn't have it long, but because short hair is far easier to manage.


Oh, I know the why of it. I had long hair too. I remember the work it took. But damn I looked good.

I cut it because in Florida it was too damn hot. Felt like wearing a fur coat on the back of my neck and shoulders, and ponytails are just...no...and man-buns...well I already read what people already know about those just a few paragraphs up.

Now that I'm up north I haven't cut it, but it was buzzed over the summer, so as of today I look like a bearded Philip J. Fry more or less...

Pff. I've not made it to 30 with long hair.

The Exchange

I have long hair but you've guessed it, my BF likes it. I told him I had a dream where my cousin and aunt dragged me to the hairdresser to cut my hair(it's true, by the way), and he said I wasn't allowed to cut my hair.

That's extra water and shampoo everyday, though usually I keep my hair just long enough to tie a little tail at the end to keep it off my eyes.

Rainbow wants to hire Grigori. I'm trying to decide if I should run with this.

KM forum has several great ways to take advantage of this.


My hair is no work at all, I shower once a day, shampoo, conditioner, rinse and I brush it once and I'm good.


I keep mine short enough brushing isn't even needed.

When it gets long enough to start making it necessary is when I know it's haircut time.


If it was straight it would nearly be to my waist, but because it's curly it only reaches to mid chest.

If you ever want to come to Wisconsin I can have you come along on my snow runs and possibly a full time job during the busy season plus there's cheap housing in our area I can recommend.

Unless you just want to come for the snow run, then we can hook you up with a place to crash before and after.

Assuming we get snow again.


And that goes for any FaWtLeR, if you ever want to have a working vacation and gain life experience, I'd much rather have a rotating cast of FaWtL friends then have to buy a leash for Big (Slow) Pete or get stuck with whoever co-worker threatened to leave in a ditch last run.

So, some might not think of it this way, but one of the HUGE advantages of having your kids in choir is that many of their best friends are in choir...

So I've got three basses and two members of treble chamber hanging out in the living room coming up with random songs and belting them out while I work on the budget. The Black Parade was followed up by Carol of the Bells and now it sounds like they're transitioning again...

Having a bunch of teenagers around the house can be good.

I know, I know. It's a very odd thing to say...

Wow... such a different generation.

May make some uncomfortable:
The girls are cheerfully discussing how most of the girls at school are on birth control to manage their periods.

I cannot imagine the girls of my generation discussing this so matter-of-factly with their male friends.


I can.

Good on them.
