Hard at work at the 'Bux
Next weekend is the 3 Day, and in spite of my current Komen reservations, I'm starting to get excited about it. It means hanging with DKM for 4 days, decorating the van stupid-fun, and meeting a bunch of walkers.

It also means it's time for the dying of the hair, even though I didn't have to fundraise for this one. I like the pink hair, so why the hell not?

And with the dying of the hair comes the inevitable comments from other people. So today I bring you:

Chit I Overheard At Starbucks.

In the parking lot:

Young teenaged boy: Ah, man. I want to do that.
Presumed Dad: Dye your hair pink?
YTB: Yeah. Why not?
PD: Kind of girly.
YTB: Naw. I like the car, too.
PD: Kind of girly.
YTB: I'd get a sex change for that car.
PD: Fine, dye your hair.
They followed me inside...kid was practically bouncing on his toes.

After I ordered:

Lady I don't recognize: Oh, thank God. You don't look right with normal hair.

While I sat at my table:

PD: Yes, I was serious, you can dye your hair.
YTB: I'll do it, you know.
PD: I know.
YTB: pauses You don't think I'm gay, right?
PD: I couldn't care less if you were.
YTB was speechless to that; I had to actually grit my teeth to keep from squealing.

While I surfed Facebook instead of working:

Very young girl, maybe 5 years old: I didn't know old people were allowed to have pink hair!

Not one mean comment so far... I expect them, because a lot of people just don't get it. Or they're simply total douchebags. But so far, so good.

And I hope there's not a law about it....

Time to head home before I anyone calls the cops. Just in case.

HAhaa... I friended a woman on Facebook because of her picture I saw when she commented on a current friend's page...

I requested the friendship by stating .. I gotta friend someone who isn't a teenager with pink hair.

Turns out she's a musician and fun to read... I mean ... any one with pink hair has got to be fun or ... well? look at the singer Pink! lots of money in pink hair..
