Welp. My last day at IN: is over, with very little fanfare. It was pretty awful, in fact. I was ready to cry all day because I really don't want to leave, and also because I only got some five hours of sleep from staying up packing all night.

Oh my oof: making dreads in someone's hair is a stiff piece of work, isn't it? You do get into the rhythm after a while, of course - brush brush brush brush twist twist repeat until your fingers jerk one last time, stiffen, and fall off dead. And I'm not even done yet. A stiff ginger ale and watching my dreadee make me some supper and then I guess ( Read more... )
