Well then, that wasn't bad at all...

I've been incredibly impressed with all the MMA I've seen (well, there's always a lame fight here or there, but as a sport it's quite impressive), so I guess my main worry would be about women's MMA not comparing to men's MMA. But I'll have to keep an eye out for women's matches. There's an MMA studio a few miles from my home, and they have a woman pictured on their webpage, but I wasn't sure if they actually had women training there, much less fighting. I'm impressed by anyone who has the discipline, drive, and endurance to compete at that level, even more so that most Olympic athletes. In my next life, I want to come back as Linda Hamilton from the second Terminator movie, heh.

I can see your point about mixed-gender units, and I don't disagree. I have a female cousin a few months younger than me who decided to go into the Army after high school, and again I admire her discipline, drive, and endurance. She ended up becoming a Korean translator and so hasn't been in any combat zones. The way our country is fighting wars these days, I don't think we should turn away anyone who volunteers for service and is fit to serve. But I don't agree with the idea that there's no difference between men and women, and for us to be "fair" to everyone, we have to have mixed-gender units. Some units I don't think it matters (not that I have any experience, just from what my cousin told me about her time stationed overseas), but I think it's silly to think that there's no difference between men and women, and no reason or circumstance in which it would be better to keep men and women separate.

As far as the crush thing, I think that's a weird part of human nature. No matter what we live through, evolution has created in us hormones that make us continue to think about creating the next generation of our species. And unfortunately, sometimes that manifests as teasing adults about crushes. We're a dumb species, sometimes.

(I'm sure someone here disagrees with me on this. Hopefully I haven't opened a huuuge can of worms in asking. We can all debate maturely, right?)

Hey, I was hugely impressed with CMH's response. Conversational, polite, well thought out, well written, and stated as an opinion. All good qualities of a mature debate, and all things I've seen people say in the past CMH isn't capable of. Either those people were wrong, or things have changed. Either way, I really did want to hear his opinion, and I was thrilled to read it. But if everyone else thinks we're walking on thin ice, I'm willing to drop the topic if CMH is.

Ok, topic dropped. But I enjoyed our discussion, Chris.

So, onto a much, much less serious ponderable... I'm considering growing my hair out again. I cut it really short two years ago, and since then have gotten all the dye out of my hair, so I'm back to my natural color (ashey blonde, gets highlighted in the sun) for the first time in 10 years. I cut my hair originally partially to get the dye to grow out faster, and partially because I felt like long hair was way too traditional and sweet for my personality. That hasn't changed, but for some reason I'm considering long hair again. Maybe all the long hair styles around me are getting to me, or maybe I'm just sick of getting my haircut every 6 weeks, heh.

Now it appears it's just me and the Imponderable Men on at the moment, but I'd love to hear any opinions. I'd be going from something like this: http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/index2.asp?R1=6518&month1=&pg=1&st
yl1=Schwarzkopf to something like this: http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/index2.asp?R1=2051&month1=&pg=1&st
yl1=C over the course of a year or so. Or maybe more like this: http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/index2.asp?R1=7951&month1=&pg=1&st
yl1=Essensuals since if I'm being realistic, my hair doesn't hold curl at all.

So what do you think? Long hair or short hair?

Lol. See, there's the problem. Some like long, some like short. It's a pain in the ass to change it from short to long, so it's not like you can really try out both very often. (Can I have Tonks' powers now, pleeeaaasse?)

This is the best picture I have of what it looks like right now:

It's sometimes poofier than that, but that's more or less it. I'm seriously considering bangs/fringe, even though I haven't had bangs since I managed to convince my mom to stop cutting them when I was 4 years old. But I think bangs might help. (My autoimmune diseases hate my hair, it seems. )

This is probably mostly just Hair Envy Syndrome, heh. When I had long hair, I wanted short hair. Now I have short hair, I want long hair. And I've always wanted curly hair. Dear Hair Gods, can I please have hair like this?

Pleeeeeeaaaaase?

Opinions: There is a way to say your biased opinions without being offensive (most of the time). First and foremost is realizing that it is your opinion and that's it. It's not truth. Second is not including stereotypes and generalizations that are sure to offend. It's also nice to have used some logic in developing your opinions that you can re-trace.

But always remember, it's just your opinion.

NV... it's not about a special skill... it's about people's unwavering belief in the magical, yet elusive, Toilet Paper Roll Changing Fairy.
Everyone I know, except for my mother, believes in it.

I know that if I wanted to blow my hair dry, straighten it, then curl it, I could have Kate's -do...I just don't want to put in the time and effort so it's big bar hair for me (occasionally).

That means that even something you are saying in jest is going to be taken seriously. And then all hell breaks loose. I really have to try to not let you push buttons. When you post something inflammatory, I tend to ignore it, while trying not to completely ignore you. But sometimes that line is hard to find, and the better part of valor is actually ignoring you, so I do that too.

Maybe next time you're confused about me possibly being sarcastic, you could bother asking for elboration? When CK asked me to do it, we found ourselves a very nice understanding. Of course if you don't think it's worth your time and would rather just ignore me, I'm happy to be ignored. Maybe you got enough aquaintences in your life and don't care to take the time to make another, or maybe I'm just too low brow for you some/most/all of the time. Fact is, I'm 22, and I had a 300 pound friend of mine rubbing his half naked body against me last week just to gross me out. That same guy is a year away from getting his degree to become a history teacher. Point: We're too young to be totally devoid of immaturity. I'd say I'm sorry, but it'd be a lie.

Are you using Internet Exploder or Firefox? I'm not having any trouble with Firefox. Then again I probably have some super anal corporate firewall kicking the crap out of any viruses.
