Shannon – I get my hair cut about once every 3 years (whether I need it or not!) and this year, I took her suggestion for bangs. She apparently didn’t notice I have curly hair, and cut them to the desired length.. if I had straight hair. [rage!] They’re nowhere near recovered yet. My style is very ordinary, too.

Julie – yay for hot pink hair! I have to admit, I do take a certain perverse pleasure in blowing peoples’ stereotypes and expectations. The expected religion thing drives me a bit bonkers, too.

I’m pretty much the same way. People know I’m a stay at home mom who likes to bake and sew, so they assume I’m a certain type. I think I surprised the crap out of people when I got my nose pierced and dyed my hair hot pink last year. And I LOVED the pink and would still have it if it wasn’t SO MUCH WORK!!! I don’t do upkeep.

I also think people assume I am a certain way religiously or politically and then are surprised when I am so NOT what they expect, because I seem shy and conservative when I meet new people. But, er…not so much really.

I don’t think I have a point, either. I think we all just should realize that appearances are deceiving. I dress a certain way because I have no money or time to dress they way I’d really like to.

Erin,

I too have bangs that are driving me crazy! I’ve been growing them out ever since I cut them last Feb. and they just can’t seem to grow fast enough! I’m just over them at this point!

I also went through a goth phase when I was younger, but have pretty much settled into a very ordinary style now.

Thanks for the fun insight into you!

Don’t apologize for dragging my along. I enjoyed the ride! Excellent post. I laughed before breakfast. Usually I wait until I’m at least half way through my oatmeal.

I have these same thoughts a lot. LOL Elizabeth always comments to me when we’re around bike people (either sport or Harley) that they would never guess that I ride too, and doesn’t that bother me. A long time ago it would have, but not anymore. So much easier now, eh? LOL I don’t look like I do anything fun, either. hehe
