So, I participate willing and happily in only one particular MeMe; Haiku Fridays. This is due to my own annoyance at blogs that shield their lack of content with paid posts and memeatic [<--yeah, I made it up] nonsense. Not to say all heavily meme’d weblogs have no substance – some of my favorites are chock full of ‘em, but some are just…bland. Anyway, at the request of the marvelous Sue Doe-Nim, I’m ponying up the goods for another one. It’s called Friday Confessions. Maybe on my more creative days I’ll be able to combine the two but not today.
*cough* *sniffle* *sneeze* *blow* *shiver*
woe is me, and mine
My confession of 02.29.08 is – I have not washed my hair this week. I have extremely curly hair, as you can see from the photo, that is a bitch to detangle. I’m also what us black folk call ‘tender headed’. If you happen to pull my hair too hard I’m liable to punch the shit out of you -purely reflex. And, I’ve awoken with a headache every single day this week and haven’t had the balls to torture myself through a 5 minute brush out session. So I’ve packed it into a clip or ponytail and let it be. I’ll wash it today. Probably. Maybe. I dunno. Hey! I like my nose in that picture! It doesn’t look so…desperately in need of rhinoplasty.
And finally – I was tagged by Sue for The Crazy Eights.

Just blog hopping through, have a great weekend.
Sweet lists and perfect nose…I noticed your nose in that pic before you even said anything.
I’d rather have your hair than the greasy, fine, thin mess that is mine. I must wash it daily or people think I’m a hippie. Sometimes I even wash it twice in one shower because it just doesn’t feel clean enough.
@kathryn – Ha! That’s an old photo – that’s just to show how curly he is! :)
@scylla – using old pictures!
@kimmylyn – You can be my accomplice. And I had just woken up in that photo: I hadn’t washed it in two or three days. *lol*
@Star – You *do* know!
@abritdifferent -That’s back when she had no hair. *lol*
@qweenie – Um, thanks. *lol*
@april – It used to. Now it’s all dry and frizzy.
@groovy mom – Not Barbara! I don’t believe it!
@CN – I think any religious figure would give you dirty looks. *lol*
@mandy – I’m glad I can go a while. :)
@stacey – Internet slang is cool/fake ebonics is not. I hate that shit!!
@sarabeth – It’s probably true!
@deb – yes it is! Although I love you despite the blogs you post, exploiting your awesome life.
@kidinstl – If I straighten it I won’t wash it either. :)
@holly – It is awesome isn’t it?
@luna – sounds like a plan!
Stop whining – you look amazing. You should try washing it in the bathtub. It feels nicer to work the soap into your hair when you’re underwater. Less of a chore, more of a luxurious treat.
Get this – I pulled a muscle in my head. So every time I touch it my pulled muscle seizes up like an overheated engine. I then grab my head and yell “ow” just like Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
My hair is unbrushed, and Ibuprofen is my friend.
