To be honest, that's two braids wrapped around each other. I mean, it's all my hair, but I take the top half and braid it, wrap it around, then the bottom half, braid it, wrap it around the braid already there, which certainly makes the circumference of the bun look bigger. When I just put it in a bun from one braid, it sticks out a lot farther, and isn't as wide. (The 2 braid approach is much more secure, I find, and less irritating when you need to sit in a car seat, or movie theatre seat or anything where you need to lean back.)
The kitten is really cute, and does look emo-- both with the "eyeliner" and just how forlorn s/he always looks. Cheer up, emo kitten!
There's another half-grown one, too-- a medium haired tuxie with one blue eye and one green!
a) how do you make your hair do that!!! my hair won't do that! and b) good omens is now on audio. mwahahahahahahaha i perhaps was swayed by the shiny new banner on audible and boughted it.
Put your hair in a half-pony tail, using an elastic. Then braid that pony tail as far as you can, and hold it with a small elastic. Take the rest of your hair, and braid it, without a top elastic, holding it at the bottom with a small elastic.
Take the top braid and start to wrap it around that top elastic as close to flat against your head as possible, sticking pins in as often as possible to keep it from shifting. Tuck the tail of that braid under and pin it, too. Then take the lower braid and wrap it around the outside of the first coil, again pinning as you go. when my hair was a few inches shorter, the very last part of the bottom braid would actually fit right into the hollow between the first bun and the first bit of the outside braid, but now it's longer, and so I tuck the end under in the same way as in the first bun.
If you still can't do it? I'll do it for you when you come to veeeeesit.
Oooooh, Good Omens on audible? Who's reading it? WANT. :)
hmmm... to post or not to post. i have a response to the author's comments part 2, but i'm not sure i should stick my oar in... "I don't know that a review-response like this is the place to a) criticize another author's work or b) insult the reader's hypothetical choices in reading material rather than responding to the points brought up. however, since the reviewer is saying that the character "suffers" from "bella swann syndrome" it's fairly obvious that she isn't a fan of the character from the Twilight books. She is simply stating that there is a tendency in romantic fiction lately toward over-looked protagonists who suddenly begin attracting all of the appealing men in their vicinity for no discernible reason."
What you've written is thoughtful and explanatory, so I'd say it's up to you. I don't know how bit this can of worms might get, mind you, so it depends on whether you want to get involved and possibly earn the enmity of this scary self-publisher ultra-conservative overtly-christian woman. Wheeeee.
i think i'll probably stay out. it's not going to change her mind and i'll just get all het up about it. but, them's my thoughts on that particular line or non-reasoning. on the other hand, i could send that and then invite her to the sarah palin book signing the competition is having later this month. do you think she'd like to go to that?
