Oh my goodness, you are so kind! (Truly though, I think you may be the nicest, most thoughtful individual on the internet - definitely Kinja - from what I see of your comments.)

I’m definitely curious to see how people react! The last time I did it, one of my classmates saw me and said “I thought you were someone’s mom! I mean, someone’s hot mom though.” I’m wondering if anyone can top that this time. I do feel really lucky that my stylist was skilled enough to give me a cut that feels…

I’ve been running my hands through it all day! And I’m still surprised when there’s not more hair there. My shower drain is going to be so grateful.

I’m definitely curious to see what happens when I wash and style it myself. I guess my hair is really more wavy than curly (it actually only got that way after I grew it out the last time, it was straight for the first 21 years of my life??), but I can already see it flipping and waving in different places. So I’m…

I say do it. I over thought it completely and stressed myself out. I looked at a million different pictures, knowing that everything would look different on me. But I knew ultimately it was just hair and if there was even a small part of me that wanted to do it, I’d be disappointed if I didn’t.

Oh why not. Before and after. I liked the long hair but feel more myself with it short. She left it a bit longer so it could pick up some curl if I want it to!

THIS IS THE GREATEST. What a lovely, lovely place to start a life.

About to open some Meiomi Pinot Noir which is DELICIOUS and I found it for five dollars cheaper than I’ve ever seen before. Jackpot basically.

Took the plunge and cut off all my hairs today! Went from long blonde curls to a reddish/chestnut brown pixie and I AM THE CUTEST. I’ve had super short hair before, but I was second guessing myself now that I’m heavier and have a rounder face. Well no more of that. I’m so excited to see my customers’ reactions on…

And only blue M&M’s in the dressing room!

No, I’m with you. I do get tired of the idea that “raising awareness” is any sort of final solution, but I'm not gonna sit and bitch about it if I can't offer a better alternative or a next step

Now just cringe-worthy for a different reason. :(

Still not great, but the original article was incorrect and her comments were about gender equality and not diversity.

The gif was very helpful, ty.

Oh man, this costume is so expensive, but think of all the use you could get out of it... Is this a legitimate reason to dip into my savings??

THANK YOU. It’s weirdly comforting to see your symptoms spelled out for you on the internet.

I saw the previews for the movie version and therefore thought it was some sort of whimsical fantasy. So when I sat down to read it in Borders (RIP) as a high schooler, I was surprised at the snotty, weepy mess it made me. God, they probably hated me at Borders.

Thank you, Cookie Monster.

Now I just have to get over my anxiety about setting up a doctor’s appointment, ugh... Question though: did your anxiety ever make you feel like you were drunk? Like a little hazy about your social interactions? Wondering if anyone has a similar sensation.

Honestly, this seems like the only practical use for these puppies.
