Surprise!

This kid does not look nearly old enough to have a voice like this:

For the record (a rant)

"Wavy hair" does not mean taking some girl with straight hair and adding some kinky, curling-iron "waves."

I'm so sick of never being able to find a decent picture of a person with my hair type (a.k.a. truly, genetically-created wavy hair).

Any time I try to look up wavy hair, I get something like this:
(via Marie Claire, the first search engine result this time around)

This girl does NOT have wavy hair. She has kinky hair. She has almost-straight hair that someone scrunched with some product to make it look "wavy."

THIS is wavy hair:
(it's also a highly edited picture of me, but try to ignore that part).

Real wavy hair is wild, crazy, and unruly. It's a blessing (if that's what you call everyone fawning over your hair because, "it's natural!?") and a curse (wave hair is not cool in middle school, and it takes a long time to straighten).

So, I've pretty much lost my train of thought now, and I have no idea what my point was going to be. What started out as a short post about the injustice of the lack of photo-resources for wavy-maned folks like me turned into a full on rant.

Any way, I guess my point is, I'm pretty much on my own when it comes to how to cut and style my hair, because the fashion/hair world has left me high and dry.

On a hair-related note, have you ever noticed how all hairstyles in "hairstyle" magazines look like they're from the late 90's or early 2000s? Seriously, next time you're near a magazine section, pick up one about hairstyles, and I guarantee, 90% will be some variation of the Kate Gosselin reverse mullet. No lie.

Animal Music!

I was never much of a fan of America's Funniest Home videos. However, I think I might have enjoyed it more if people had written songs to go with the videos. Enjoy:



Seriously, how freaked out must that little girl be when all those raccoons are chasing her?

::Snippets:: Oh, I didn't know we were talking about you

It bugs me when people say "well I wouldn't do it that way." Apparently, this other person would, so in the future, you should probably try to remember that the entire world is not made up of your clones.

::Snippets:: Maybe it's just me

But, sometimes I could seriously explode from being so annoyed with people. Maybe this goes back to the whole hostility thing. I can't even explain it, but if you've experienced it, you understand what I'm saying here.

::Snippets:: I guess that's a good thing

In my developmental psych class, we learned about the difference between hostility (wanting to hurt someone) and aggression (actually hurting someone). I realized I'm pretty high on the hostility-o-meter, but relatively low on the aggression-o-meter (based on my own analysis). Basically, a lot of times, I wish I could just punch people. But I don't.

::Snippets:: Perspective

I learned today that Japanese people are "less unrealistically optimistic" than Americans. This means they are optimistic, but within reason. I have always considered myself quite realistically optimistic. That may make me part Japanese. Or it may just mean that I have a little bit of what I like to call (un)common sense.

More Dweeby wonderfulness

I probably shouldn't be surprised that these exist. But I am, a little. I also kind of want them:




I have also found my new life moto:

Also, my readership is up! My parents may just be stalking me more than normal, but if you're reading this and you didn't contribute to my genetic make-up, THANKS! You're awesome!

::Snippets:: Discretion

Some people have it, some people wish they did, and some people are completely clueless as to what the word even means.

::Snippets:: I understand that you "care"

but sometimes, I just don't really feel like being interrogated about my life.

::Snippets:: I'm not ashamed

So stop trying to make me feel like there's something wrong with who I am.
