Trivia

1. Blogfolks, I had to shave my forehead today.

Not in a cool Goth shaved head kind of way. No. I had accidentally dyed my forehead black. So I scrubbed and scrubbed, with soap and more soap and various products I found- I drew the line at bleach and toilet cleaner.
I should have known- the hair dye box said ‘Blackest Black’. None of that ‘Kinda Black’, or ‘Half assed Black’ rubbish.
No.
‘Blackest Black’.
If you find anything blacker, you’ll probably die. No pun intended.
I want to write to the manufacturers and suggest ‘Black, Goddamnit’ or‘Motherfucking Black’.
So anyway. Forehead. Horror. Desperation. I’ll never be able to leave this house again. Scrub scrub scrub.
My skin turned an interesting shade of grey, but eventually regained its Caucasian pallor, with added shine.
The little hairs, on the other hand, remained obstinately black. I didn’t even know I had hair on my forehead!
So I shaved them off.
There’s no punch line, I just wanted to share. I know there’s more important things going on in the world, leave me alone.

2. I’ve gone back to work; it’s the end of life as I know it. Fortunately, last night my Special Lady Friend came over and helped tip back the work /life scales. She’s taking me away next week end. Or is it me taking her? I’m not sure. I know it will involve the sea, good food and sleeping late.

3. I’ll leave you now because I have to bleach my moustache. Thank you for stopping by.

Can't wait until those little hairs start to grow back!! Please let us know how that goes!

I've always heard that anything you shave comes back in curly. At least the first time. Good luck with that!

I`m laughing very hard at this post.

Surely and extended parting would've sufficed?

Awww...and here I thought you were talking about shaving your OTHER little hairs. Darn.
You have hair on your forehead *checks herself*....do I? Can you see any hair there? You'd tell me, right?

Anne, do you think "forehead" is a euphemism for another bodypart in English? Bizarre.
And what exactly does moustache stand for then?

Last time I dyed my hair I managed to dye a pink go faster stripe right down the centre of my body...

It's an occupational hazard!

And as always I really love your blog...

Have a super weekend by the sea...

Hope you don't give your special lady friend stubble rash. Have a lovely weekend and, upon your return, please do the "7 things" quiz. If you want to. Or have time. Or whatever. *best cheesey grin*

Love your blog btw. I think I might have said that in a previous comment but I have no idea whether it worked or not. I couldn't ever find it again.. anyhoo..

TexMexSol and Sam: I think they've grown back, and they're neither culry or more noticeable than they used to be. So that's a relief.

Jacqui and Frogstar- you mean you're laughing at me.. as always.. ;-)

Greavsie - No. Why not a comb over while you're at it?

Anne- strangely, I never have accidents involving other body parts. maybe I'm just more careful.

Emily - I knew I needed a beauty school drop out friend... I'm so badly connected.

PPQ- hey girl, where ahve you been?? welcome back and thank you for the compliment.

30-something- I think my Special lady Friend is alright. No stubble rash.Much. I'll go do the 7 thing right now, m'am.
