Saturday, April 12, 2003 ( 11:23 AM ) Scarf Girl So someone the other day said this about my haircut: "Oh my goodness, you look so much more attractive with your hair cut." Um, so does that mean I was repulsive before?? *ponder* Compliments are always a funny thing. When it comes to hair, people often get haircuts or change their style. What do you say to someone after they get a routine haircut? Are you supposed to acknowledge it if it's the same ol' cut? What if it's something dramatic and you think it sucks? What if it's a million times better than the old style? How do you say it looks better now without insulting their previous style? I suppose a bit of tact is in order. I know that I've said to people, "oh hey, you got a haircut!" To that they'd say, "yes I did, thanks for noticing." I think when I see a style that looks good, I just compliment in the now. I try not to compare it to the old style by saying, "wow, I like your new hair style," or something like, "I think your hair looks really nice." That way, I escape unless they ask me if I like it better now. And remember, it ALWAYS looks better now. Heheh.

So after months of complaining, we got a few new computers at work, and I got one of them. Dude, I got a Dell! So it's a neato computer and I got a flat panel LCD monitor to go with it. Now the hard part is getting everything set up and installed to the way I had it before. *sigh* It is quite a chore. Let me say that before you junk your old computer, save your Internet bookmarks!! Heh, luckily, my computer had not been towed away to its final resting place yet, so I was able to copy over all my bookmarks. Those are one of the things that you always forget to save. *sigh* So I got another one of those "you're not getting any younger" speeches from my mom. Yeah yeah. The way I see it, she'd probably rather see me with the right guy who's the perfect son-in-law than some flunky anyways. Heck, if I can wait for the right guy to come along, then she can wait too.

F: "...Um, no, that's not what I meant...umm.... it looks even BETTER now." *heeheeh* So I went to get a haircut yesterday and for the most part, people like it. *whew* Scarf Girl, signing off. # Monday, April 07, 2003 ( 8:56 PM ) Scarf Girl To sugar coat or not to sugar coat? That is the question. I was chatting with one of my friends recently and the subject of how to turn down/break up with some. Do you sugar coat things or do you tell it like it is? She was for kind of sugar coating things saying that the guy doesn't need to know all the details. I thought about it and decided that telling it like it is, but in a nice way, is the way to go. I mean, if the guy was being rude or something, then shouldn't he know that? Wouldn't it be better for his next relationship if he knows how he behaved in previous ones? Of course, sometimes there is nothing wrong with the guy and it could just be that it just doesn't work. In that case, well, then there is nothing to sugar coat. So then I was talking to one of my guy friends today about this, and he says that you don't really need to hear all the details so as long as the point gets across. Perhaps I'll poll more people and see what others have to say.

Here's one: Let your cares fly away Write down your troubles on pieces of paper. Fold them into paper airplanes and send them flying! The farther the plane goes, the farther your stress flies. Try this activity in the privacy of your own office, or get a group of colleagues together and create a virtual airport. The more complicated your problems, the more complex the airplane needs to be, so you may need to find a book on how to fold increasingly elaborate paper planes. Hmm.. this one isn't as cool as some of the other ones I've posted. Here are some song lyrics dedicated to someone I know. It's raining men Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen It's raining men Hallelujah it's raining men, Amen Scarf Girl, signing off. # |
