Hairstyles and Attitudes

Topic stolen from mactavish

I am looking for a low-maintenance hairstyle. My hair is fine, limp, and only slightly wavy when long; it is springy-curly when short. I would like a short hairstyle for swimming, riding in convertibles (Rob's thinking of buying a convertible), gardening, and rolling over in my sleep. I would like a long hairstyle so I don't have to go get it cut every so often and so I don't have to worry which way the hair is pointing while it dries. I definitely require a hairstyle with NO blow-drying, NO curling, NO gel. If I can't do it with a comb it's not going to get done.

Can't have all of these, but I can have all but one. Front runner is a buzzcut.

My buttlength ponytail is the lowest-maintenance hairstyle I have ever had. No wasted time at some weird-smelling hair salon. No worrying about which way it will flop when it dries. However, I am really getting tired of waiting all day for it to dry, avoiding swimming, tying it up for hot tubs, having it get in my face during anything even remotely fun, etc etc. And it's not like it flatters me. Then again, neither would a buzzcut...!

Unique Interests

Meme stolen from firecat

Items from my interest list that no one else has in their interest lists:

embedded software (I'm mildly surprised no one else lists this)
n47490 (the plane I took my checkride in, and have since sold - not at all surprised it's unique)
pitts (the aerobatic biplane - I'm not very surprised at the uniqueness of this one)
square dance calling (I'd be stunned if another caller were on LJ)
taildraggers (with so many flyers around, the uniqueness of this is odd)

I think perhaps my interest list is too short. I can think of a few things to add, and some of them might well be unique in the LJ universe.
