Makes no sense, eh?<BR/><BR/>*****<BR/><BR/>JL - thanks :) I was surprised t have written so much and then I wondered if anyone would make it all the way through.<BR/><BR/>*****<BR/><BR/>Katja - ooh, go on then, let's say we have Italian shaped feet :)<BR/><BR/>*****<BR/><BR/>Leilouta - oh wow, when I had long hair I would wash it once or twice a week too! I mean, it would take nearly an hour to wash, took forever to get the shampoo and conditioner through with the shower brush, it was so curly. And after washing it I'd have to rest for a while and it would take over a day to dry naturally, and in the humidity of Houston it would spring right back up into loose rings<BR/> <BR/>Now that it's short, I have to wash more often so it's alternate days, but at a stretch when and when I don't go to work, every two.<BR/><BR/>*****Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-1158249917722092002006-09-14T12:05:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:05:00.000-04:00oh and plz don't mind the morons :)oh and plz don't mind the morons :)Leiloutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423130301990752458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-1158249873146958552006-09-14T12:04:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:04:00.000-04:00“I had no umbrella, so my hair right now is all ni...“I had no umbrella, so my hair right now is all nice and curly-wavy in a very 1930s way, but unfortunately I have to wash it tonight”<BR/><BR/>Yea, What is it with the rain or seawater that makes hair so curly and pretty?

Then I had a recollection of someone called Olivia, very calmly, kicking me somewhere incredibly uncomfortable soon after I started secondary school. As I recall it wasn't her given name, she had changed it. I can't rememebr the cause of the incident, I would normally guess at some insult or joke I made at ehr or one of her friends expense except my memory seems to be telling me I was completely innocent. Personally, I wouldn't trust my memory and we should probably go with prevailing wisdom.MattJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801624454432641644noreply@blogger.com
