But a fussbudget with curly hair, because I've been sleeping with my hair tied up in rag curls. Why oh why can't my hair do this naturally?



Why am I a fussbudget? Because I am SO G-DDAMN DONE with summer. I am tired of the glowing orb and the heat. Look, I am swooning in petulance just thinking about it:



However, I did pick blackberries in my backyard yesterday evening, so summer is good for something.

(My cranky stance about summer weather isn't just me being Gother Than Thou; I have really lost any ability I ever had for dealing with sun and heat. Part of it is the systemic changes from all the meds I was on for the Lyme disease, but I'm sure there are other reasons. To which I make my usual cry: if I'm exhibiting symptoms of classic vampirism, when do I get the immortality and blood drinking parts? Also, minions? Do I need to recruit them myself, or do they just ... appear?)

*huggles*

I hope that the minions show up soon, and that they come bearing parasols!!

(I completely understand being unable to deal with the heat, TRUST ME, and I feel your pain!)

minions come and go. You have had minions in the past, you will have minions in the future.

I think I need you (or Thea) to show me how to do the rag ties for *my hair*. either I am doing them the wrong width, or the wrong size hanks of hair or something. Either my curls are WAY TOO TIGHT or they just don't happen the way I want them to. *pout*

will I see you Sunday?

YES, you will see me on Sunday!

At a guess, you're probably using the wrong size of fabric pieces and taking too small of hair sections. Lately I've been putting my hair up in just two ties, one on each side, on the top of my head. (The site I got the idea from said to use two bandanas, but I used two sections of cotton fabric I had sitting around.) That way I get the curl/wave I want, but it doesn't make my hair go into that weird poodle tight curl thing that rag curls sometimes cause.

The burning orb SUCKS. Really, it sucks the life right out of a person, I swear.

Minions are harder to come by these days. Maybe you could advertise on Twitter since usenet is nearly dead.

On the hair waves front, I used to braid my hair (while it was wet) and in the morning it would be wavy. The tightness of the waves varied with the size of the braid, although as the braid got skinnier at the end, it got wavier.

Two braids does not give as much braid as four or more. Patience for doing this is very important. Neatness of braids is not.

Love the hair. It was 95 here today. Crazy hot. I am on 3 medications with sun sensitivity as a side effect right now. Feel like bursting in to flames.

What, I'm not minion enough for you?

Though, definitely agree. Did not move here for the sunshine and heat. I miss my nice overcast or rainy days.

  2. Love the hair, which is totally me because...
