Growing up in a glass bowl...... - Page 84

Ooh, what about Turbi Twists? I use those, and they're kinda neat. Not quite long enough for all my hair, though. But I've figured out a way to get it all in.

And I love beading my hair. *tries to remember the name of the product she uses*

SeaThreePeeO · 04-12-2002, 02:09 PM

I too am a long hair fan!

I started to grow my hair long ever sinbce I was mistaken for a boy! I had long lovely hair down to my waist, then for some mad reason I decided to have it trimmed. Split ends I think. Well I said to the woman that I wanted it to come to the middle of my back. The damned devil woman hacked it to just below the shoulder!

*Psst Bundle of Trouble has been updated*
*Gas Stations tomorrow*

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 02:35 PM

I had someone do that to me once. Just about made me cry...

*runs off to see bundle of trouble*

**Kali** · 04-12-2002, 03:55 PM

I had my hair cut up to my shoulders just before I started high school. Willingly. I wanted a change, you know, new school, new me and all that. It was okay, but I couldn't wait to grow it back out.

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-12-2002, 04:27 PM

My hair is naturally dirty blonde (or dishwater blonde, or mousey depending on who I've asked), about mid back length, and I've got those "Dagwood" things too. For some reason the hair right next to my face never grows out long, so I've got these curls that stick up! Its also thinner than I'd like... *pout*

I need to learn how to do stuff with it though...I kept it short most of my life, and now I don't know how to braid it or anything. Also, I don't use any sprays or anything, I'm chemically sensitive.

Now, on to something more interesting! I stopped by my favorite comic book shop today...and they were having a 50% off sale!!! I got 21 comics for less than $20!!!! Put a serious dent in their TMNT selection.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 04:37 PM

I wish we had a comic store around here...closest one's about two hours away, with the rest of civilization.

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-12-2002, 04:42 PM

Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town when #3 comes out. And Moab, Utah doesn't have a comic book shop.

**azure turtle** · 04-12-2002, 04:45 PM

Ooh, way to find the bargains, SC! Geez, I wish there was a comic book store around campus. Grr...bummer about issue #3. Maybe you can send a money order while your in Utah, so the comic book will be waiting for you when you get back? I might just have that comic sent to my home address rather than my dorm room, since I'm afraid school will end before it gets here...

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 04:46 PM

I hope my Ebay stuff gets here soon! It's been a week, and i want them now!!!

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-12-2002, 04:47 PM

I was also thinking I might ask the shop if they'd hold one for me. I'm pretty much a regular there now. I'll be back on the 2nd, so it would probably be quicker if they'd hold it.

**Kali** · 04-12-2002, 05:49 PM

I got a great bargain on comics way back awhile ago. There was a 50% off sale and they had tons of TMNT books. Of course, it was also a moving sale, so it wasn't all good. I went there every couple of days and bought $20 worth of books each time. *sigh* I miss getting paychecks.

**HorseTechie** · 04-12-2002, 06:13 PM

Piff.. I have acces to all kinds of comic book stores, but they're usually to commercial to sell their back issues that cheap. *sai*

The comic cons, however...that's where I've got some sweet deals. Usually on the last day, many booths will reduce stuff down to a $1 or 50 cents for pretty good comics I never seen anywhere else. They'll also let you bargain the price (like say, "I've seen the same issue for less on ebay!")

**azure turtle** · 04-12-2002, 07:18 PM

Oh! I've haggled before! At some of the small comic shows I've been to, I've gotten sweet deals from some of the vendors. Fun stuff!

**Kali** · 04-12-2002, 09:16 PM

I seriously need to learn to drive so I can get to a comic book store or something. I WANT to go to a convention, but things are tight, financially, and time wise.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 09:20 PM

You cant drive?! Wow...

I'd LOVE to go to a convention, i'd probly live there the entire time it was open, but there's this strange phenomenon called money I just cant seem to get enough of to go...

**azure turtle** · 04-12-2002, 09:25 PM

*sigh* It's times like these that I wish money would start growing on trees.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 09:30 PM

Yeah, but then the loggers and treehuggers would start fighting over it...

**Kali** · 04-12-2002, 09:31 PM

Hmm, it grew in my pockets for awhile. REALLY fast. Then I got layed off and it just kinda dwindled slowly. Still have over $1000, though.

And no, I can't drive. Stupid CA tests...

**azure turtle** · 04-12-2002, 09:32 PM

Heh...I hated taking the driver's test...the lady who was testing me was one of the rudest people I've ever had to deal with. In fact, a lot of the people who work at the DMV are rude, now that I think about it.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-12-2002, 09:34 PM

ah...gotta love the DMV!
