Thoughts to finish out the month

You know what sucks? Meeting people you could probably become good friends with, getting just well enough acquainted to be aware of this, and then drifting in opposite directions and never seeing each other again. It's so much worse than just knowing there are people out there you could become good friends with who you'll never end up meeting at all. Nothing is more agonizing than a near miss.

This afternoon I passed by a guy who was whistling Auld Lang Syne. Dunno why.

And apparently there is still absolutely nothing short of a ponytail that will keep my hair behind my shoulders. I thought, years ago, that growing it longer would do the trick, but the problem seems to be that it's grown thicker as it's grown longer.

I felt that way about graduating - in the last month or two before the ceremony, I spent more time around some of my classmates, the majority of whom were graduating.

The semester after that sucked because they weren't there, but then again it was ok because there were new interesting people to meet in the new classes. Of course, then it was time to say goodbye to them, but oh well.

So, I get what you are saying :D

Yours is much thicker than mine (mine was once as thick, though not as curly, as yours) and I can't keep mine back without assistance. I often toss it into a loose braid that lasts ten minutes, or a pony tail. Neither is all that flattering on me, but it's much more tolerable.

One of the things I hated about having long hair is that all my hair grew; not just long but out as well.

Eventually it was 'fro time. Not even the ponytail would help.

I do that every so often. I don't know why I do it, either.

But I haven't in the last few weeks, so it wasn't me you saw :-)

You should have asked him why. He could have had a very interesting answer.

He passed by too quickly. Kinda like that guy I saw years ago wearing a shirt with a boa constrictor digesting an elephant on it. Never did get the chance to ask him where he got it.

I'm trying to picture it. Did the boa constrictor have an elephant-shaped lump in it's belly? Or was the elephant half in, half out? Did it look like a cartoon, a photograph (or maybe it was a photograph! eep!)

Actually, it looked like a hat.
