auntie_maim posts in get_up_dread_up , asking some basics about getting dreadlocks . The members tell her to read the M E M O R I E S to get the information she wants, but she's spent HOURS reading the memories, you guys. Hours. The maintainers refuse to do a damn thing about the supposed problem with the memories, and more bawwwing ensues. This leads to xhollowxliesx...

The amount of retarded shit still being said about me in that GUDU post is mind blowing. Why so serious, GUDU?

About 98% of the people posting to get_up_dread_up make me want to shoot myself in the face. It's such a bunch of white teenagers trying to be subversive by having messy hair and pretending to be pagans. GTFO. Doesn't mean I'm not still dreading my own hair, though. I'm just not gonna be a big hippie wanker about it.

I always thought that dread locks were awesome but never considered doing something like that to my own head. Mostly because I always thought it wouldn't suit me. A few months ago I was on the bus and saw a girl with the coolest dreads ever! She had dark hair with bright red streaks and beads and some other random stuff woven throughout. It just looked SO cool and she looked so freakin' beautiful...

CAT #1: another weekend at the blue moon beach house . we were supposed to go for our anniversary in december, but ended up frozen out - there was so much snow in the area that the beach house's pipes froze. so we rescheduled for VD & had a blast. since i know you're wondering: breakfast #1 was eggs benedict, roasted asparagus, & blackberry yogurt featuring fresh, plump blackberries & homemade oat...

I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night so I look a bit tired, but I wanted to share my fatties and texture with you all. And I just realized how many freckles I have. :) I love freckles. cross-posted to get_up_dread_up

so the married-too-soon friend referenced in this post has come back around. she's divorced now. she sent me an email on myspace apologizing for the past year, & saying she'll be staying at her mother's place for a while to get her shit together. she asked to come hang out with us when her head is right again, & i told her we'd be glad to have her. it's not empowering to hear "you were right" in...

My daughter was playing with my hair yesterday and as I was running my hand over the back of my head last night, I felt a knot. She had tied one of my dreads into a knot. I thought that was the only one. This afternoon, I was washing my hands and looked up in the mirror and noticed that one of my dreadies was shorter than usual in the back. I guess I missed one that she tied into a knot. I got a pic...

today is my & gorthok 's two year anniversary. you may recall that we met on get_up_dread_up - my dreads community - which leaves kind of a cool record of our first conversation . the good things are much the same as last year , which is awesome to report - we have a THIRD annual full week+ off work together, our friends are still together, & we're awesome. the only semi-bummer...
