So what I learned from my previous post/poll is that you all take your hair waaaaay seriously. Or most of you do, anyway. heh Although I do have a question for the 6 of you that run out of conditioner before shampoo, how the hell do you do that?! How much conditioner are you using?! I can pretty much take two bottles of shampoo and they will run out at the same time as one bottle of conditioner.

It was an amusing poll, and I did learn a little about you guys. lol

This last weekend was great. We went to a party (Happy Birthday ladycinderella2!) and had a fun time with costumes and all. Juan and I dressed up as 20’s gangsters. Well, not really. He was the gangster, I was the flapper girlfriend (uh – wife). Pictures are on Flickr, f-locked. Feel free to register and add me as a contact. I’ll add you and you can then see those pictures and any future ones as well.

Halloween itself was pretty boring. Went to my mom’s house so that I could do my little sister’s hairstyle again (the japanese geisha one). I think I did a better job the first time. Oh well. She looked nice though. She had a lot of fun with her friends running around the park and getting candy. Juan got there pretty late and missed all the little trick-or-treaters. There weren’t too many this year, and half of the kids that showed up had either really lame costumes, or no costume at all (but had a grocery bag for their candy. :p). Halloween was a lot more fun when I was a kid. They don’t even let the kids dress up in school anymore. The principal at my little sister’s school said they didn’t deserve it, like they don’t deserve anything. It’s a brand new school that was constructed right across the street from my parents, and is used pretty much as an overflow school for all the compton kids – the bad compton kids that the other schools don’t want. I feel bad for my little sis because she was quite happy at her old school with her other friends (not in compton) but they assigned her here because it is closer.

Yesterday, I lost my phone at some point. I have a feeling it was either at the bus stop or on the bus itself. I assumed I left it at home the entire day because I was hoping beyond all hope that it would be there, and it wasn’t. I called it many many times last night, and finally this teenage girl answered it with amusement and said “Hello”. I paused and stammered out “Uh, yeah. You see, that’s my phone.”. She was silent for like 2 seconds, and hung up the phone. Bitch. So I called it in this morning and it is now deactivated. I needed a new phone already anyway. Been considering it for a couple months now, but what pisses me off is that I will not have my numbers anymore. Grr. But whatever. Hopefully we can go tonight and get a new phone.

Anyway… on to good news….

There is something in store this month at Immy! A representative from the WB has been in contact with me about setting up some sort of contest on our site (that we design/run) and they will provide us with prizes (not sure what or how many, but movie posters at the very least) all in promo for GOF! Stay tuned to immeritus and Immeritus.org for news on how you could participate and win!

I didn’t take the poll, but I do that conditioner thing. I have long hair and I only really soap up the roots, but I condition the whole thing, is why.

  See! That is what I was thinking about you people!! I have ALWAYS had long hair and ALWAYS run out of shampoo first! But now that I have been thinking about it a whole lot more, I think it’s because of my hair type. I have oily hair, so I focus a lot more on washing it everyday. The conditioner is for detangling purposes, mostly. So I take a little wad of it and am able to spread it all out even though I have really thick long hair.

Oooh this WB thing sounds like it’ll be fun!

I don’t understand the conditioner thing either; I’m like you and go through about two bottles of shampoo per one bottle of conditioner. My hair is greasy though, so I have to use a minimal amount of conditioner.

  I think that that is the difference. So, from the looks of it, most of us are all grease-heads.

Have long hair too, it’s about 3 feet long at the moment and it’s also VERY thick and fly-away, so i have to use a s*** load of conditioner on it! God i hate my hair, it takes me about an hour to do it (not including washing) if i want to do it properly.
Or maybe i’m just a closet perfectionist!!!!

I run out of conditioner because I do not wash my hair every day. I wash it maybe twice or three times a week because if I wash it more, the oils go away and my hair becomes dry and tangles easily. I put a dab of conditioner on it much more often than I wash.

And nah, I don’t take my hair very seriously. I don’t have enough to take it very seriously.

My hair actually eats conditioner alive. Seriously I use twice to three times as much conditioner to keep my hair from being dry and brittle.

The WB thing sounds AWESOME.

Yep, long, blond, fine hair. Have to wash it everyday and then dump conditioner on it so it gets detangled and doesn’t fly all over the place. Oh, and the conditioner bottles here are always smaller than the shampoo bottles, which might help explain it.

Cheeky little kid! (the girl who answered the phone)

Re: shampoo – my shampoo reckons you’re only supposed to use a ‘hazelnut sized amount’ – which frankly must be written for people with less hair than me because that much won’t lather remotely… but I do try and keep it to a minimum. Whereas conditioner, I go nuts on, because it makes my hair feel spiffy. Plus the bottles are smaller than the shampoo bottle, so really, it’s not surprising.

OMG WB!! *dies of excitement*

..and have you read Memoirs of a Geisha? There’s all that stuff about having to sleep with their heads in these special neck-pillow things that stopped their hair getting mucked up in the night… Even I don’t make that much effort.

  No! I haven’t read that, but have wanted to, especially since Zhang Ziyi is coming out in the movie that should be pretty much done by now. Was it a good read? And when I mean good, I mean like, not in a boring LotR way with an awesome story, but like, I can read this all the way through kind of way.
  
  But I did see a documentary where they showed the entire process of the hair and the entertainment stuff that those girls are trained to do. I even told my little sis, that those girls had to sleep with those do’s because they took forever to make and were very expensive.

    If you saw a documentary, I don’t know how interesting you’ll find it.. for me a lot of the moment-to-moment interest was in finding out all that new stuff. But there’s a definite plot and it’s told in a very engaging way – as in, I tried just to flick through it whilst I was still reading something else, and found myself captivated by it such that I took a break from the other book till I’d finished it. I loved it.
    
    …there’s a movie? OMG! Totally going to see that.

I always run out of shampoo first cuz somtimes it has to double for a body wash… hey sometimes a brother gets poor.. besides conditioner wouldn’t work as well it feels too much like lotion on the skin… ewww (while in the shower)

I agree there were less kids this Halloween. Lame.. the Great Pumpkin would be very sad..

  Heh. Well, now they make hair/bodywash for guys because the marketing folks have noticed that boys will do that. Maybe you should buy that stuff. 🙂

yay for teh WB!!
BTW i have long hair, and was very surprised to hear that people ran out of coniditioner before shampoo..but after reading people’s notes i now understand why.
As far as your phone….I can’t believe that girl took it…hopefully getting a new one isn’t going to be that big of hassle. I also agree with you on the Halloween thing…it was a lot better when we were kids (check out my journal to see my Halloween)
hugs
