so irritating...
I'm starting to get annoyed at my hair. Okay, not my hair, but the way people react to it. People freaking love it. Some of them, a little too much. I've had to stop wearing my hair down at work because I get hit on too much, especially by the real creeps that show up at the store. Sometimes I can't leave it down based on where in town I'm headed because certain cultural groups find it far too attractive and are drawn to it like a magnet. I went to the last two nights of Summerfest (Saturday and Sunday) because I live in Milwaukee, I kind of had to go, especially since I had free tickets both times. Saturday night I was with a bachelorette party. I originally had my hair partly up, but with the humidity it looked ridiculous since it was so puffy and fluffy, so I let it down, and I was wearing a cute dress and everything. We ran into this bachelor party there (two different times) and the second time they were so smashed I was surprised they weren't dead yet. When they finally figured out that they had already met us once, they went a little crazy and started buying us all drinks (expensive festival beer... lol), including me, even though I'm still to young to drink legally and I told them so (hey, if they still want to buy for me knowing I'm too young, I'm going to take advantage of the free alcohol). Then one of them decided he found me sexy (and said so) and decided I had to dance with him right when a slow, chill song started up (we were at the stage Dashboard Confessional was playing at) and it was really awkward and he couldn't stop playing with my hair. I went back on Sunday since one of the girls in the party had a pair of free tickets from her boyfriend (who has an internship with the Brewers this year) and didn't want them, so I met up with my concert buddy, C, and we saw 10 Years and Hollywood Undead. When we were leaving the Hollywood Undead show (we left a little early to avoid traffic, since they had played all of the songs we really wanted to hear in the first half of the show), these chicks we got stopped in front of on our way out kept playing with my braid and I just about punched them.
I had to get that whole bit off my chest, so sorry about that :-) Now that my hair is once again long enough, I'm looking for new things to braid in or to put at the ends of braids that can be used as contact deterrents. One of my favorite things was a spiky strap (like with the spikes you see on goth-type belts and wrist bands and stuff) that I used to braid in so people couldn't grab my hair (they were real metal spikes and pretty pointy), or I had this weighted metal ball I used to put at the end of my braid (kind of hard to explain how) that certainly cleared my personal bubble on more than one occasion, but I don't have them anymore, so I've got to find something new.
