And save me from my real life.

Didn't Tim Minear (or David Greenwalt?) explicitly say in an interview that Fred was included in Connor's birth scene to fill out the role of the Virgin Mary? If so, can someone link the interview? Who?
How else is Connor's birth scene like the birth of Christ?
Why is Connor so fucked up?
What are the shower facilities like on Serenity?

Why does semagic close itself automagically so often?
Where on semagic does it tell people's birthdays?
Do you have to have PhotoShop to make cool graphics?
Isn't PhotoShop expensive? Did you all dl it? Isn't that illegal? Does that bother you?

Life
When I interrogated the mirror this morning I found that my hair had built a large but well fortified battlement atop my head, intent on defeating that mighty insurgent, the comb. But HAHAHAHA! The comb played the villainous hair for a fool, foiling its nefarious scheme of mischief and mayhem by not aproaching, instead retreating to the eternal peace of its crowded kingdom, the drawer. Wherefore the miscreant hair reared it's ugly split ends, as in a banner of victory, mocking the cowardly comb with wild abandon and occasional snarling.

Meanwhile, my oft treacherous jeans took the opportunity to sway the allegiance of my much beloved shirt, a shirt which I have lovingly attended with the tender ministrations of a friend and ally, the kind of ally who knows you must be kind to anything you put against your boobs. But alas, that sneaking and insideous zipper, so intent on degenercy and disgrace that it descends, drops, falls, without the least provocation, and despite my better efforts to raise it back up into the light, to Eden and to heaven and the proximity of my naval with a safety pin, that zipper connived with its foul intent to disrobe me by stealing away yet another buttor from my beloved shirt. It became, if you will, a turn-shirt, exposing my vulnerable flesh to the wanton eye.

And then, what should happen but the coffee maker, spying the way my hair had taken to with my scalp, and the way my abdomen was bared of all defenses, judged me but a weak accomplice at best, and issued the poorest, most watery of coffee... an underhanded move--not out and out villainy (decaf) but still, a blow, a crippling blow indeed.

[Poll #704339]

OMG NO I REALLY, REALLY NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW:

Anything going on with you? Fic bits you want to share? Stories? Jokes? Adventures in clothing, coffee, and hair? Thoughts about wearing hardware store shirts with other people's names on them? Odes to the dodo bird? Your favorite quote? Words you keep meaning to start using, but don't? Phrases? What you did last summer? How many licks it takes? The meaning of life?

I demand from each of you either one thing very clever, be it prose or verse, original or repeated -- or two things moderately clever -- or three things very dull indeed. And I engage to laugh heartily at them all.

funny, my bra was too tight but my skirt and shirt were lovely!

cappuccino with tons of sugar is as close as I get to espresso.

I never bring a comb near my hair. But sometimes it is just GORGEOUS and sometimes it just HIDEOUS and I spend my time hoping I have a gorgeous day when there's a special occasion. curly hair has a mind of it's own. I'd really like my mind and my hair's mind to meld. brain melding!!! (I totally didn't get the second half of your hair paragraph but I'm going to pretend like I did, k?).

Huzzah for skirts. I always feel twirly and girly when I wear a skirt, like I could sing a song.

I forgot I asked how many licks! Well, depends on whether I'm doing both ears.

I actually don't really comb my hair either; I wash it, comb my hands through it, then let it dry naturally and it's all curly and bouncy...sometimes gorgous and sometimes hideous, like yours. But today, really, it should've been brushed; it was more horrifying than ANYTHING I've EVER seen before (and I didn't wash it. I wore a bandana when I went to the grocery story so no one would see.)

I wonder if Spock mind melded with his hair and that was why it was so straight? He should've melded Captain Kirk's hair, ew.

Oops heh. Sometimes I am incoherent. I meant that it was cool you got your hair cut. And I like it when I get mine cut really short and it feels funny to wash, because you're used to washing more hair!

we have very similar hair -- what color is yours? mine is blonde but at the point where it almost looks light brown. Again, it was different when I was little, really really blonde back in the day.

curly hair on guys is not often nice. I prefer thick and wavy *g* Captain Kirk should've kept a crew cut!

oh I get it now! yeah, it still feels funny to run my hands through my hair because it ends much more suddenly than I expect it to!

Yeah, my hair was blonde when I was little...now it's almost black!

Thick and wavy is good on guys. Nice to run your hands through. Captain Kirk should've just stayed outta sight period!

Fellow curly girl sticking her nose into the conversation. Run, don't walk and get a copy of "The Curly Girl Handbook." Lots of great suggestions, treatments, etc. If your hair is as curly as it sounds like it is, stop using shampoo. Just use conditioner. I haven't used shampoo in three or four years. Best discovery ever. My hair doesn't get crazy frizzy. It doesn't get crazy volume (or at least not as crazy). That and Aveda humectant. Best product ever.

I bought it a few weeks ago! I use shampoo about once a week. I can't not use it.

Also, if there is a Ouidad salon near you I totally recommend going there once, it's worth the splurge to learn how to handle your hair.

Ouidad salon

What's that?

google it. it's a hair salon that cuts only curly hair. There are several of them scattered around the US (maybe abroad as well but I only know of them in the US). Basically it's the curly hair club of America central. Everyone who works there and everyone who goes there has curly hair. For $100 and an hour and a half of your time they will give you an indepth lesson on how to take care of your kind of curl (and then try to sell you all their products).

omg! Dude, that sounds so worth it! I'll have to find one (one day when I have money! ha!) Thank you for the explanation.

it's definitely worth it IMO. and you are very welcome. :)

I always wanted a good book about how to take care of my hair.

But doesn't your hair feel dirty (and itchy) if you don't use shampoo? What kind of conditioner do you use?
