Oh my god, I think today has been my least productive day since I spent four days of Thanksgiving break not leaving the building and fucking up my sleep schedule in 2008, which is not true, as I did things today, and also, I left the building. It just feels really unproductive, since I haven't done anything school-related. I went to the grocery store, called my mother (I'm one of those people who makes phone calls while walking places, thanks to my paranoia about my roommates listening in on my phone calls), went to Rite Aid, then watched a lot of TV and played with yarn the rest of the day.

Well. And I figured out how to do this to my hair. I don't know if it actually looks like that since I can't see the back of my head, but in theory I know how to do it!

Yes, the evening's still young, I could read something for school if I wanted, but I cast on for a new knitting project today and I want to play with it. (Christmas knitting! IT HAS BEGUN.)

Heh. I used to have a huge minesweeper problem...then I found GemCraft Labyrinth online. I'm sure you can guess how that's gone.

I seriously do not get how people can do *anything* by flipping their hair over. My hair gets so tangled whenever I do that...and because it's distributed differently I can't get a brush or comb through it. I think I only need a couple more inches to do a knot bun (the ones with only your hair), which is kind of exciting though I suspect I'm going to do it once and no more. My hair's so thick that it takes forever to reach a length where I can do styles--for instance, some people can do the lazy wrap bun at armpit length; I couldn't do it until I hit midback.

Braiding makes my hair wavy for a long time, but YMMV. Braiding/bunning while your hair's damp helps the waves form/stay.

Heh. I got really into Tetris for a little while; I also like Elephant Quest, but there's only so many times you can play that without losing it.

See, I shower at night and then french braid my (still-wet) hair to sleep, so it's still slightly damp in the morning, which usually makes it easier for me to do my hair. Since I shower every evening, I've never been able to figure out how long the waves will stay in my hair -- I think the best waves I ever got were from doing several tiny buns and from the crown braid.

The problem with Tetris is Tetris fanfiction. That and the fact that it's the kind of game you eventually start dreaming about.

I will never understand how some people have hair that's easier to work with when it's damp. I can't do anything with mine until it's 95% dry (which is, you know, five hours later). If you damp-braid to sleep anyway, it should be relatively easy to put your hair into a style you think might give you good waves; when you take your hair down in the morning, if you like your hair you can leave it down, and if you don't like it you can put it up. Though buns are a bit hard to sleep in. I know that some people use pure aloe vera gel to define their curls/waves more, but I don't know if it works the same way for womanmade curls.

...It's possible that I'm a bit of a hair nerd.

Man, anytime I start dreaming about a game, I know I need to back off for a few days. *twitches*

That's true. *considers* Hmm, maybe I'll try that sometime.
