Going back to sleep now. Hopefully.
Aug. 18th, 2004 04:52 amBut before I do, I just have to share this thought I had earlier today at the hairdresser's.
Isn't it creepy as hell that hairdressers know all your dirty little hair secrets?
They can tell when your hair's not its cleanest. They can tell when you use cheap shampoos and conditioners. They know if you use "product" in your hair. They know if you style it frequently with curling/straightening irons and the like.
But today, the woman who did my hair said to me "You don't blow dry your hair a lot, do you?"
?!
HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE KNOW THAT?!
Almost worse than these people knowing such things about us, though, is the judgment that's inherent with these observations.
"You don't blow dry your hair a lot, do you?" also means "Tsk, you should really take better care of your hair."
"What shampoo do you use?" / "Pantene." / "Ah, I thought so." also means "You're so cheap."
"Oh, you let your hair fall naturally." also means "God, could you have less style??"
There's a stand-up bit in this experience. If you ever see a sitcom about a woman, her husband and her best friend who's a lesbian talking about how hairdressers know your dirty little secrets, that's me and my friend P behind it, guaranteed. Especially if the woman suspects she has appendicitis at some point.
And now, sleep. I hope.

My head still hurts.
Less ow, but it's still there, lingering.
Must go to the bank in a few, before it closes.
And, lest I forget, happy birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
worshipper, who had the good sense to be born the day before my grandmother celebrates her birthday.
... whoah, I thinkworshipper and my brother's GF (whose birthday is tomorrow as well) are the same age. Weeeeeird, 'cause I think of the GF as a lot younger than me, and forget that worshipper isn't as old as I am, on occasion.
Freaky.
