Cutting class

[monkeyfunk]

I finally made it to the end of my eight-shift stint and now I only have to work Monday and I'll be free as a bird for almost a month. I even got chatting to a friendly office worker, Tracey, who let me into a secret way in which I can extend my holiday. It's all complicated, but it means I don't use up so much of my vacation time

Ahmen brother!..I have a preffered hairdresser also..I know enough background information from the rest of my families conversations with her that things are no longer too awkward...having said that..she really is a stunner and what's worse is I've found out she has an identical twin..needless to say I get a little hot and bothered sometimes sitting there trying to think of something other than the scenes playing inside my head...I think all the other hairdressers think I'm evil as with them I tend to frown and glare at walls in an attempt to stop them talking to me.

See you aren't the only weirdo...plus I'm phonophobic..no not scared of sounds maybe it's telephonophobic? Can't stand phoning people I don't know and a little hesitant to call those I do...I have no idea why either?

When faced with a chatty hairdresser, I normally just whip out a book and ask them if they mind if I read, as I have to finish the book for my book group by that evening. Normally they're quite accomodating, and let me read without trying to converse any further.

My hair processes take way, way faster that way, too, because they can concentrate on what they're doing instead of on chatting with me.

Can't wait to hear about your trip! You'll be posting from the US, won't you?

I guess we are more reserved in England. The very thought of asking to read a book whilst someone cuts your hair.. it's just not done (I've never heard of it happening).. maybe because it's like receiving oral sex. Having a haircut is very sexual and intimate. Imagine a guy reading a book whilst you went down on him. Hardly flattering.

I've noticed all my thoughts recently lead to analogies with oral sex.

I shall be posting when I can from NewJersy, yes. I hope I am more forthcoming this time. I think lasr time I was there, I posted about seven entries in 3months.

Hope that arm is feeling better, Miss SK.

It is, and thank you for asking, darlin'. :)

Bon voyage, and let us all know when you're safely arrived in NJ!

Thank you.. I shall try to refrain from detailing every avenue of sensuous, sexual endeavour, hehe

Seeing as I feel I can imagine your discomfort completely accurately, I thought I'd bring you my off the wall solution! Baldness! Who the heck needs to visit some terrifyingly chatty and gorgeous hairdresser in order to shave the stuff right off?

Yeah... I know. If I actually had enough hair to have any sort of style left I'd go to a hair dresser in a second. I'd still feel horribly awkward the whole time though.

So, if I said the spark plugs in my vehicle needed replacing would a British person know what that meant?

[monkeyfunk]

It IS tempting to just buy a barber-style electric razor.. my hair is quite unmanageable. Low maintenance and avoiding the trauma of the barber shop floor.

Spark plugs.. um, that's something to do with the ignition right? We do use that term, but I'm so non-plussed when it comes to the mechanics of a car.

I came upon something last night which really gave me a kick up the arse.

A very large foot?
