Let's talk hair

So my hair is somewhat annoying.

It used to be straight (when big hair was in fashion) and now it quite wavy (when dead straight hair is in fashion).

It is super fine and becomes greasy very quickly.

In the summer, its natural colour is blond, but it doesn't come in blond. It comes in mouse brown and turns blond in the sun after exactly one month. The end result is that I look like I have an out grown blond dye job all the time.

New topic

I forget whether I blogged on this but there are a couple new guys in my lab and it is very nice. They are great to have in the lab (smart, friendly, helpful) and they share my office (which used to have just 2 of us in it). It's a little odd. My lab has two offices and all the non-North American people are in one office and all the North American people are in the other and we are seperated by a 5 minute walk.

The most important thing for me is that I now have people to go for lunch with. It is so nice to have that again. (The other girl who shares my offices is completely great. I blogged about her before when she came back from vacation because I missed her, but she doesn't really eat lunch. She's more of a driveby bagal eater) Anyhow, now we sit outside on the steps in the sun and watch people take pictures of us. We discuss research and politics and food and travel and it's a nice break.

Wait, why do they take pictures of you? *confused*

As for the hair, isn't hair frustrating? As much as you might find yours irritating, I bet there are so many women out there who would kill for it.

We sit on the steps (or the lawn in front of steps) in one ofthe most impressive parts of campus. Tourists and visitors like to take pictures there.

I'm trying to imagine which women would want pouffy thin hair with a bad dye job.

Maybe bald women.

I think we share the same hair.

Hint: keep your legs crossed when you sit on those steps. Perhaps why that's why so many people take pictures of you on the steps.

Puffy, is that why there is so little of it? I only got half the hair I should?

Um, I wear jeans. I don't think anyone is taking naughty pictures.

I thought your hair looked great in the pictures Coco posted.

Glad that you have some lunch mates. I miss going out to lunch with friends.

Does anyone ever ask you to move out of the way for the picture?

I would enjoy having more guys in the office. But I still like to have my lunch by myself.

Why are all the North Americans in one office and the non-North Americans in the other? Are they avoiding you?

I have pretty decent hair. Naturally it has big waves rather than curls. If I want it to be more curly I just squeeze it up while it is drying. It usually stays in whatever style I brush it into.

I like my hair but I wish it wasn't going gray. Good dye jobs are very expensive. When I was in my 20s I had incredibly thick hair. Now it has thinned down to normal.

You should make rabbit ears on each other when tourists take your photo.

Home coloring. Stick with it and enjoy your bouncy, colored self.

I think you should also practice posing for the cameras on the steps.

You should get a giant banana to pose with in the pictures LOL.
