Doin' the happy dance. Doin' the happy dance. Doin' the happy dance.

Tryin' to be happy, really I am. Can't help but be a bit frustrated after looking at the checking account. Gonna take the reast of the day to try making some side money for bills.

I'm happy. Toothless and happy. I should've had my tooth pulled for pirate day. That would've been sooo cool...and gross at the same time.

Can I just say that laughing gas is awesome...until it almost makes you hurl. Then it's not so awesome. Novocaine make you look like you've had a stroke...the drooling helps keep up the illusion. Gauze packing is just nasty and makes you look angry and puffed up. And mushy food doesn't do it for me. I want chocolate...and not the soft, cold kinds like ice cream that I can have. I want dark chocolate kisses...but I'm not allowed to suck/chew on anything until Saturday (easy, JQ...that's not an invitation for an untoward comment). I will be a real bitch by then.

I got my hair done yesterday, after my tooth was pulled. It's kind of awkward to sit with the stylist and not be able to talk. Isn't half of what you're paying for the armchair therapy? (actually, she's a friend and it was hard not to catch up with her).

Watched a super good movie...Lucky Number Slevin. It is very wonderful. Funny, funny movie. You should all go rent it.

None of the above post was drug induced...btw..even though it may seem to be. I haven't picked up my script of Darvocet. I'll let the wonders of handfuls of ibuprofen...that won't make me vomit...take care of any pain.

I don't have any more happy for any of you. but post dammit...because I'm bored (:evil) and I miss y'all.

Well now. That is a bit of suckage 'Bug. On the brighter side you did get to see Slevin which was one awesome ass movie. If you get the chance try 16 Blocks which also has Bruce Willis. I thought it was another great movie over looked by so many people.

Allright, I'm gone. Catch y'all later.

Hehehe, makes me think Rugbug, I remember having the oddest conversation last time I was getting my hair cut. Started off being about the origins of he English language, that lasted a while (about a milleniums history will) then got onto the difficulties of running a barber's and the difference's between cutting hair for men and women. Apparently women are more likely to listen when you try and sell them products with their haircut, whereas men don't so much, but men are also less particular, so you can make up the cash by firing them through faster, if you've the custom. So I'm told anyway. Then it was the usual 'holidays/weekends' stuff.

Just made me think of it, talking about sitting in silence there.

We miss you too, Rugbug!

I haven't had teeth pulled in years - had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time! - but I remember not being able to communicate. That was a tough one.

Darvocet tears up my stomach - anything in the "-cet" family (Percocet, etc) makes me throw up if I don't eat something with it. I hope you have a better reaction to it than I do.

I haven't seen that movie you mentioned. I will go look on imdb about it in a moment. Looking for some funny right about now...

It's good to see you again. Did you hear that I am employed?

I can't remember who knows and who doesn't at this point.

No reaction as of yet...because I'm not taking it. It will make me ill...I'm a total lightweight when it comes to stuff like that.

If you want funny ha-ha funny...don't get Lucky Number Slevin. It's dark funny. Violent but funny. Really well done. Like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

For funny funny, I have no suggestions. Apparently my funny movie meter is off. Stuff I like is not so liked by others. Example, I thought 'Just Friends' was hilarious. Laugh out loud hilarious. Just about everyone else I talk to thinks it is incredibly dumb.

Elizabethtown is funny...again, dark funny. But little to no violence. Good film everyone should see.

And yes...I heard you're employed. I did a little 'non-darvocet induced' happy dance for you when I read that...and then the rest of the thread imploded so I didn't reply. I'm VERY happy for you. But sad that it may cut down on your FFF.net time. I suppose that is how life is, though.

If that's the case I really need to find a barber who ditches that half of the charge.

I hate talking during a haircut. Do your job and get me out of here. I don't need some phony friendly banter. I once heard two stylists make fun of this one guy the second he left the place. However, when he walked in and all during his haircut it was like he was their favorite person in the world. What a bunch of BS.

I really have to see how it goes. I would imagine the first few weeks, while I am sessing out the lay of the land, it will be hit or miss. More "miss", but my email is open 24/7. If you are so inclined, it is mavourneen1200 at yahoo -

Eh...but when you're sitting in a chair for 2+ hours, some sort of conversation is needed. I know of some hairstylists that do the backstabby thing...mine isn't one of them, I don't think. She's been doing hair long enough that she has a list of clients she likes and doesn't take new ones. She doesn't HAVE to talk about someone because most of her clients are ones she's chosen...or weeded out. I've been going to her for 8+ years and she's great. Great in a way that people always ask who does my hair great. That's worth it to me.

And she's also not a huge talker. We usually talk about guys, music and animals. 'Tis all good stuff. We also just sit when there's nothing to say...and listen to the neighbors. A lot of time that's even more entertaining than any conversation we could have.

Two, h'mm, well back at my last hairdressers... actually no, tops a half hour there, and a big chunk of that was getting my hair washed. One thing I miss about going to Hairdressers instead of barbers, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Like nobody trying to sell me stuff, a quicker haircut which looks better, nobody trying to talk me into getting an 'interesting' style (no I do NOT want to look like the local pond-life thanks, you keep it short and I'll make it look good

) and being able to get a shave when I really can't be bothered. But there is getting your hair washed.

Anyone else reckon the light head massage of having someone else wash your hair is one of life's little pleasures?

Wow I'm with you. I'd have no hair left and even if I did I'd be tearing it out. That would just be way too long to spend getting a haircut.

It's not just a cut, sillies. A cut takes about an hour...and a half with all my thick hair.

When it's a complete appt (color retouch, partial highlight and cut) it takes approximately 3 hours. Yesterday was color re-touch and partial highlight. Takes about 2 hours...I didn't have her blow it dry and style it 'cause I was tired of sitting around.

One deals with the time involved by bringing a book, drinking coffee or soda...maybe water. Sometimes, if appt is at the right time, hairstylists runs to the restaurant next door and brings back cocktails.

The price for beauty...or the attempt at beauty...is time. Money too, but time is the harder one to come up with.

I probably skip it cause it's only fun if I get a hot stylist and then if I do get a hot stylist I just feel like a perv enjoying the wash anyway. It's lose lose really.

Anyone? I'm certain that there is someone.

I'd be surprised if it isn't commonly viewed as a significant benefit. Yes, your hair gets clean, and yes you can massage your scalp, but somehow this is perceived as better.

OK first off 3 hours! No need to go farther there

If I drank coffee, soda or water and had to wait for 2 hours I would probably have to do a pee-pee dance!

Price for beauty? Bah... I have seen pics and you are a lovely Lass and would still be without a 2 to 3 hour hair appointment!

Perv? Why? What's wrong with it? They're doubtless aware that it's a pleasant sensation, and must be okay with that or they wouldn't be doing it, You needn't trouble your conscience like

And yeah Flyvote, I guess it is rather widely regarded, I just thought I'd bring it up, share the sensation and all that, weed out a few prudes like Zero (I jest I jest Zero, couple of years ago I felt the same way, I merely seek to share my, uh, 'enlightenment').

Having someone else wash your hair is fantastic...and it's not necessarily an intimate thing. It can be...men take note, but doesn't have to be. I mean, I enjoy it and my hairstylist is a girl. I'm not into girls at all, so....

And actually, they teach them to massage your head in beauty school. I know this because of all that time I spent having beauty school students wash my hair when my arm was busted.

I think Odds confused his 'Z's, mistyping Zero instead of Zeek.

bah. It doesn't have to be intimate. I just said that the only way it's worthwhile is if it is. Even if they do get trained in massage I doubt they'd be happy if I was like "and when you're done with that how about a lap dance too".

Now I lap dance I'd have nothing against. Then at least everybody's on the same page about what's being bought and sold.

You can enjoy it as a girl and from a girl. You don't have to be "into girls" for it to be intimate. Same-sex touch doesn't mean that you have to be into that sex. People can exchange a level of intimacy as a caring healthy act without it being a fully sexual act. I'm pro-touch. (But not pro-inappropriate-touch.)

You can enjoy it as a girl and from a girl. You don't have to be "into girls" for it to be intimate. Same-sex touch doesn't mean that you have to be into that sex. People can exchange a level of intimacy as a caring healthy act without it being a fully sexual act. I'm pro-touch. (But not pro-inappropriate-touch.)

Flyvote: When I use the word intimate, it was as a synonym for sexual. I derive no sexual pleasure from my hairstylist washing my hair. Or a massage from my therapist. It's just something that feels good. And I don't think I would derive sexual pleasure even if my stylist was a man. For me, that has to be from the right person...not just anyone...even a hot someone. Brad freaking Pitt could wash my hair and unless we were together, it would be just something that feels good...to my head. ;)

Well guys you all read a lot more into this one then me, I take it none of you can take a pleasant sensation as that, without it having some overwhelming significance?

They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.

Well....nah nm I'll leave that one alone.

OK on a totally different note, guys what would you think of a girl giving you her number by handing you a business card that is just a personal use business card? Personally I'm thinking "this girl gives out her number so often that she needs mass produced cards". That doesn't make me feel very special. Note: this has never actually happened to me this just came up during a conversation I was having with a friend.
