HAIR COLOUR?
Important news flash, after years of having long, dark hair and looking like a reject from wuthering heights, I now have shoulder length dark/ ash blonde hair.
I'm hoping it looks more like Sharon Stone but have a nasty feeling it could be a touch of the Myra Hindley's.
I feel so weird though, I'm really an intense brunette masquerading as a fun loving blonde.I am going to start wearing specs and carrying Eurypides(book) under my arm.
Has anyone else experienced this dichotomy twixt hair and personality?



There is only one inborn error, that is the notion we exist in order to be happy.
This arises from constantly deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction.

Not precisely that, but close. I went from red to blonde when the colour started fading (which red hair often does).

Fascinating the way blonde hair works on male pheromones - you get far more attention and men trying to pick you up, even though the only difference is your hair colour.

Not sure how big a dichotomy it was though - when I went blonde the first thing one of my friends said was, "Oh, it suits you so well that I think you must always have been a blonde at heart!" Yerss. Still thinking that may have been one of the better insults I've come across.



_ _ _ _ _

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.

I'm a dumb blonde pretending to be a firey red head...

A lot of my hair is skin coloured.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mwhaha!

Hi tieff
Nice to see you back... and scraping a bit of that dust off the mousepad.

I, for one, would like to see a few more posts from one of the people who hooked me onto this site.
A number of your answers to the generic survey thingy were very similar to what I'd answer if I could ever answer a generic survey thingy without attempting to undermine it.
I'm 53. Where do you fit in the sibling list?

Ah, on 500 points in scrabble:

I have never tried it in english, and it might work better in german anyway, but in my experience there are two prerequisites for high points.

1. All players have to work together, not playing competitively. For us it worked best with only two players. If you leave open oportunities and talk about possible solutions, you can come up with pretty amazing word counts.

2. We allow amending of words and all word forms. Like when you have play, add E and R for player, wait for the next round, then add S for players, and on... If you have the P on a high character score, and for example the E reaches a double word score, it starts to add up.

Our best results were 1150 points combined for both players, and I think my friend got once over 700 points.
