Celibate and Sane: Curly Hair is a Natural Fluff Attractant

Curly Hair is a Natural Fluff Attractant

Me with straight, blonde hair

Previously I've mentioned that I used to get my crazy curly hair straightened and blonded for about ten years. It took effort and time each day to get it looking right, but while it was straight, I never had to worry about it being messy or looking like a a pensioner perm.

Additionally, despite the fact that my hair was blond, I seemed to get treated more seriously by people. Weird huh? As soon as I went back to my naturally crazy curly hair, I found that people tended to treat me less seriously. Is that because I now look more like a clown? Or is it that clowns wear curly hair because it's considered a style worn by less intelligent kinds of people?

Another thing that I've noticed is that my hair has a tendency to pick up any fluff in my environment. It's kind of like I have my own in-built clothes brush or fluff magnet. Each morning I wake up to find at least two bits of fluff have found their way into my hair during the night. On other mornings I wake up looking like I've been sweeping the floor with my head.

I dread to think what it would look like if I had flannelette sheets!

I'm only glad that most of my eyebrows haven't followed suit, except for that special sticky-out hair that looks like I've installed my own personal television aerial.

Personal Quotes from Vicki-S

"Occasionally I find my breakfast a little bitter, and sometimes it's difficult to chew and swallow; though at other times it's sweet, but it’s very satisfying and always sustains me. My most important meal of the day, is feasting on God’s Word and drinking up His presence."

I love me, because God loves me. It's not that God doesn't see my flaws, they are like blazing torches in His eyes, but rather that He sees past my imperfections and still loves me. And who am I to argue with the perfect God that I am worthwhile, that I am worthy of love, and that He accepts me and wants me to be His child, His beloved daughter? When I understood this, I began to accept and embrace His version and His vision of me, and not the world's.

"The silent treatment and sulking are simply two other weapons in the arsenal of the manipulator."

"Often people use the metaphor of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon to describe how we can grow from difficult experiences, but what they don't mention is the fact that at first we start off as an ugly caterpillar."

"We so often just get caught up in trying to just get through each day, that we forget to pause and be thankful for the fresh one that is presented anew and untouched each morning."

"Contrary to what we might think, forgiveness isn't so much about healing our relationship with that other person, but about healing our own broken heart."

"The purpose of school reunions is to show off how much you've achieved in life, to laugh at the once popular kids who've aged more quickly than you; and to wince at the guy who was a bully in school and who aptly became a policeman."

"I've found in many organisations where volunteers are needed, including the modern-day church, that 80% of its people sit back and let everyone else do most of the work, then there's the 10% who actually make the place run, and the remaining 10% just like to whinge about the 10% doing the work, especially about how they could do it better."

"When traced back to its source, every sin, every despicable act, and every war was motivated by someone's selfishness."

"I do not want to think of man, for that would distract me from God. But if I focus on God, I cannot help but think of my fellow man, and each day God keeps the scales balanced so that I have enough within me to do both."

"Overcoming depression isn’t about changing ones attitude, or just ‘getting on’ with things, it’s like removing one’s personal black shroud one thread at a time, with ones teeth.”
