Excuse me, that was a Veronica you're thinking of.

Haha, you shouldn't have said that—I'd already assumed "dirt name" was a term I didn't know for a nickname used during nefarious deeds or something. : )

I was never aware of any stereotypes about the hairstyles of the Powhatan people.

Haha, I was thinking back to the one I got a couple of years ago and was like... "should I have been more ashamed? I thought it was a slightly uncomfortable viral ailment easily treatable by over-the-counter patches..."

Hadn't heard of it. That's encouraging! Thanks for the rec. : )

Me, too! "So brave and impetuous" (as Maid Marian would say, not exactly to Robin but almost).
