Sinuses are stupid.
They don't even really know what they're for!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They're like starfish that way.

“Not dead yet!”
And Barb, my little sister and a friend are going to a romance mini-convention in Sept. in WVirginia. Could you...maybe look at the list o' authors and see if you know anyone, and make rec on who I should steer my sister towards? Suzy's a bookseller/librarian who reads books! She fights crime!
Dude, totally!
And yay for orgasmic baths! I walked up a flight of stairs today.

I just took my hair out of its ponytail, because even that tiny bit of pressure was hurting my head. Stupid sinuses.
Speaking of hair, some sort of series of links led me to this: [link] It's an article by a white woman with three biracial (black/white) daughters, talking about combing and styling their hair. This sentence struck me:
Most white women do not know this kitchen, the snarls at the nape of the neck.
Because, well, I know exactly what she's talking about. When I was a kid, my mom combing the tangles out of my hair could sometimes take an hour. (And unlike the woman in the article, who watches stuff like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, we'd always have to watch stuff like China Beach.) I figured this was normal for kids with long hair. My first few years at sleepaway camp, I wasn't very responsible about combing out my own hair, and I'd come home with basically one huge tangle, which would take my mom about a week of working at least an hour a night to get through. Is it just a curly hair thing?

The only problem with that (gorgeous!) recumbent steampunk trike is that it's so low my skirts would probably drag on the ground.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no snarls at the back of my head. The hair there is straight and soft, illogically. The tightest curls are at the front, which makes no sense. The "kitchen" is supposed to be the test of good hair.

Nope-- fine straight hair can have a tendency to really snarl up miserably too, especially right behind the ears and down at the nape of the neck. And it's easy with straight hair to pretend it's not happening as long as you keep the top layer brushed.

Hmm. Interesting. My sister straightens her hair, and she seems to get much fewer tangles than I do. And her hair was definitely as much trouble as mine when we were kids.
