- Got haircut. Took off four inches no one will notice. Also, purple. It's...subtler than I was expecting? But we're going to Bermuda in a week, and it's going to fade under all the sun/salt/chlorine, so hopefully it will be a little more noticeable afterwards. It's really pretty, though

I checked the ICCA winners, and the top 2 were all male, with the third as co-ed. So I think your theory is correct--it's not that women's groups are necessarily more accepted, it's that men's voices haven't come in in high school.

Also, I got a douglas fir in elementary school. I think it's just easy to obtain and keep alive long enough to give to school children.

Every time I get a haircut, I'm disappointed that it's now so short. :( Still haven't quite figured out the right way to get it cut. Apparently I have to account for not only the curl, but also the fact that it curls *even more* when shorter ('coz less weight pulling it down). And I think the look I want requires cutting shorter on the underside rather than the overside. So maybe in 6 months I'll get a trim, and maybe next year it'll be long enough...

Also, I hear mice don't like peppermint. Maybe put put a few pots around? IIRC I also have a bottle of wholesale peppermint oil somewhere that I can lend you.

Got a pot of peppermint, no noticeable effect. Might be interested in the peppermint oil, though. I can think of worse things than a minty fresh house.

Hi, fellow curly-haired person I don't know. If you can, get your hair cut while dry. I always had the same length problem and dry-cutting made it a lot better. If you can find a salon that specializes in curly hair, bonus.
