My hair is long enough now that for the first time ever I can wind it into a bun and ram a chopstick into it, and it'll stay up!
I've been longing to wear chopsticks on my head for years.
And now I can!
Ah, the little things that make us happy....
(On the downside, my initial experiment was completed with a pair of chopsticks I have here at work, and now that I look more closely, I think there are still little bits of rice and leftover sushi stuck to them. But it's all dried up. It's ok.)

About Me
- k8fh
- I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge. I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.

I hope you don't mind me occasionally checking out your blog. (I warned you a couple weeks ago that Inge gave me the link). Anyway, as someone who has long hair and somewhat regularly wears chopsticks or the equivalent, I thought I'd do you a public service and let you know that it's helpful to have a response to the comment "Hey, you've got a stick in your head", or "Hey, what's that stick doing there?" I swear I get this, even from people who have seen me wear the things before. So now I just come back with my standard response "They hold my brains in", and that's the end of it.
Have a day!

Oh I'm totally flattered that you read my blog. :-) Thanks!
That's too funny; that's like 'you've got a banana in your ear!' People are so weird; why are they compelled to mention it?! But I love your standard response!
I'll have to make do with sticking forks straight into my skull.
I assume they feel compelled to mention it in the same way people feel compelled to say to people over 6', "you're really tall". I have no idea what the tall people say in response.

:-) Probably "you're really short!"
That reminds me of that Winston Churchill quote, even though it's not really the same. ("Yes, madam, and you're ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober.")
