Get Your Finger Out of That!

For a while now, I've been using this stuff called "crystal wax" in my hair. I think the name makes it sound more exciting and mysterious than it really is. I like to imagine orcs harvesting crystals in dark mines. Once collected, warlocks with purple cloaks crush the crystals to a fine wax--just so I can have spikey hair.

But now, I am not spiking my hair. It's gotten long and so I am now trying "the messy look." It seems to me that those hip guys who can pull off the messy look go to a lot of work to make it look like they don't go to any work at all. It's not just waking up and coming to work like I'd hoped. You actually have to do stuff with it. Having had 1/8 inch hair for the last 7 years, this is weird. Long hair also takes new hair products--leaving all those warlocks jobless, no doubt.

Anyway, I had to go to the store and get new hair product. I found some stuff called "Hair Putty." It's not just a clever name. It's actually spacle for your hair. At least, it looks like it. And because I am doing a lot of work on my walls at home, I am afraid I'll get confused and end up with spacle in my hair.

Anyway, the Hair Putty comes in a little canister with a screw-on top. Well, yesterday morning when I opened it for the first time, there was a finger mark in my new hair putty. It was quite evident that someone had poked their finger right into the middle. I can just imagine some dude stabbing his finger into my hair putty and then working it in for the messy look--in the aisle of Dominicks.

Hmmm, either that or he poisoned it.

I've got this stuff called "surf hair". I feel cool when I use it.
