capes and mullets abound!

so i just came to the realization that the shirt i'm wearing is sort of cape-like in nature. this discovery comes on the heels of last month's discovery that i had a mullet in high school. the latter is pretty much the devastation of my year so far. was i the only one who didn't realize that i had a mullet?

this all goes back to all the baggage i have had about my hair over the years. at first it was fine. i was in a holistic type environment with ex-hippies and their children. then that all went to hell when my mom put me in public school in 3rd grade where the kids were, shall we say "less than holistic." suddenly my dreadlocks were not okay and i made the horrible decision to straighten my hair. actually, the horrible decision was really to go to the hair cuttery to get my hair straightened. man, if i had a time machine...anyway, so all my hair fell out and i had a short natural for a while and i remember this one time i was in pizza hut and i was going to the bathroom and some woman says to me, "that's the GIRLS' room!!" and i just went back to the table and cried into my personal pan pizza (mmm--remember those?) yeah so that was the start of a very sordid relationship with my hair. never one to be a quitter (actually i am quite the quitter), i continued to straighten my hair through 11th grade in high school until finally i exorcised the no-lye relaxer demons. so anyway, the mullet was a result of my hair again falling out due to a relaxer but me being so attached to the part at the bottom that i kept it. good thing i didn't know what a mullet was back then. anyway, now i'm totally an anti-chemicals advocate...put down your dark and lovely! it's not worth it.

'tis all.
