Garnier is terrible, imo. Shwartzkopf(sp???) or Shamptu are both better.

I wash my hair every other day if I'm not feeling under the weather. If I do, then I skip. If I get my hair wet I wash it more often, dayly.

I use condition every time. Folks who are really srs about their hair use hair masks instead. That's why you see some expensive brands with only shampoo and no conditioner.

That would be my guess, yes.

Whenever I'm watching or reading something with people in an opposite sex relationship (or even with real people), I have a hard time identifying with them, at least unless I make a specific effort to. My initial impression is usually that their relationship is just superficial/not real/they don't really love each other like my girlfriend and I do. I have to sort of mentally pretend that one of them is the other sex (not literally but I don't quite know how to explain it) to 'get it' that even though the situation is different, their feelings are the same. And I don't have this problem with gay guys, just straight people. In a way I guess it's like the idea of having feelings for someone of the opposite sex is so entirely foreign to me that I almost find it hard to comprehend? I'm not totally sure how to explain but hopefully this makes some sense.

Has anyone else ever felt like this? I feel like it makes me a bad person but I don't know how to stop.

I already have student loan debt.
Ultimately, I want to apply to grad school but my GPA isn't where I want it before I apply.
I'm thinking about it. Mostly, I'm externalizing what I've been considering today. Thanks for the feedback.

Hahahhahaha.

lol, I always skip stuff with edible aroma.

I think it depends on your hair type and the climate where you live. I wash my hair every 3-4 days and condition it even less.

nayrt

I guess it depends on one's meaning of "obvious". Nowhere does the book come out and say "Shadow is a mixed race man" or "Shadow's not white". It just gives you all the information that points to Shadow not looking white, with additional information that suggests his mother is black or also mixed race.

It's kind of like describing a small furry animal that has pointy ears and a tail and purrs and enjoys tuna and naps in sunny spots and having people go, "BUT IT'S NOT OBVIOUS THAT IT'S A CAT."

I considered passive-aggressiveness to be an insult wrapped in a bow and presented as a gift.

As for the reason for it, in some cases it's cultural. I am currently living in NC where Southern culture dictates that it is rude and ghastly to be directing insulting and aggressive. It's just not how it is done here. If you are going to be aggressive, you must be passive-aggressive. An indirect snide comment coupled with a buffer like "Bless her/his/its heart" is considered the correct form of how to insult someone.

Do I like it? Oh, hell no. The town I grew up in was filled with out of towners, mostly northerners where passive-aggressiveness was considered far more rude than directly insulting someone. So, I have that mentality. When I moved here I grew to hate passive-aggressiveness. Jesus, how do I hate it. If you are going to insult me, say it to my face. Don't act like you paid me a compliment.

Well, realizing that it's stupid is a start. Sounds like a lack of empathy.
But on the other hand, a lot of straight relationships in media are shallow, so I might be being too judgmental.

An that was to prove "hey look, he's not entirely gay", while alternatively they didn't have the guts to have so much as a snog with Hephaestion.

And Earthsea, going on 50 years now.

I love the kidnapped partner cliche and I'm not at all sorry about it. It's great.

Asking for it from the person you like because it's the button closest to their heart.

If I want something cleaned up, then I get impatient and starting cleaning it myself, I don't see how that would be malicious or "passively aggressive". That's "I need this place clean, and if you won't do it I will". If I'm really irritated about it, I'll...confront them directly about it. Is that passive-aggressive? If so, how the hell would you clean something up without it being passive-aggressive, if you've already asked someone to clean it and they don't? The only way I can see is for you to wait until they leave, but that isn't always going to happen anytime soon, so...

And how do you tell apart fake sympathy from real sympathy? I used to think it was obvious but I am increasingly unsure. o.O

I'm just not sure what to do with that last one. People tell embarrassing past stories all the time for fun, so I'm not sure how to tell when it's being done out of anger...?

I see this as a difference between what Shadow knows and what Shadow says. He's clearly trying to not engage the guard, yet he knows that not answering at all will only make the guard angry. So he's keeping his replies short as neutral as possible.

And when someone who's both 1) racist and 2) in a position of power over you asks if you have "n*gger blood", then yeah, maybe you don't blurt out "My mother is black!" You give a noncommittal answer and hope the guy gets bored and quits harassing you... which is exactly what Shadow does.

Every other day, my hair gets greasy pretty quick though so I need to otherwise it's a horrid mess. I did at one point wash my hair every day and conditioned it every other, but that didn't do terribly good things to my hair so I went back to every other day.

Do you have to identify when them in order to enjoy them?

Most of the characters I love the most are nothing like me in any way shape or form. I just find them interesting and well written. For example: I love the character Hannibal but I am not an upper class, refined, male, European psychopathic cannibal. But, dammit, it is sure fun to watch him go.

If it's just cultural differences behind what is and isn't passive-aggressive, that would explain a lot, actually.

I guess I'm a tea snob, in that I care enough to spend extra on whole-leaf tea rather than pop a bag of minced Orange Pekoe into some hot water. But I don't go so far as to demand filtered water, and I get the restaurant food service stuff iced at lunch.

Well, I learned something today.

Aaaaaaaaaand there goes the rest of my childhood.

Yeah. Lots of things are "ambiguous" if you miss important details.

I try to push back hair washings, but sadly, I go nuts by the third day.

Every two days, I do a mayo-on-scalp treatment, then rinse it out and wash with Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Don't know if it's best for hair, but at least my scalp doesn't burn like it used to. And I think some of my lost hair is actually growing back.

Sounds like he means for you to send it in next year after you get some experience under your belt.

Yea, I've heard enough about the final season to question if Hutch would say something genuinely rude or hurtful then, but in general it isn't something he jumps to doing and isn't his style. Being malicious isn't cool and shouldn't be excused, but no one is perfect and no matter how great your relationship you're probably going to have a few rough spots and make mistakes.
