I only have room for one great movie in my head, and that is, as you know, <em>Princess Bride</em>. Which I know you also have in your head, so bravo for you for having such a big brain. Felicity, thank you! Welcome to the blog! Little Willow, I saw the post. Thanks for passing that along--it's in good hands with Mitali. Shai, pity the poor schmucks. They're not as classy as you.

Little Willow, I saw the post. Thanks for passing that along–it’s in good hands with Mitali.

Shai, pity the poor schmucks. They’re not as classy as you.

I ask myself that all of the time. I have gotten so use to it, if they ask me if I am Jewish, I promptly respond, with, "Oh, you can tell by my nose, right". I have come to the conclusion that some people are ignorant and just..well, suck or as we say..are schmucks :) I don’t know what people are thinking! I ask myself that all of the time.

Thanks! Kathy, having people touch your hair must be like pregnant women having their bellies touched--it's like people don't recognize that's part of your body. SO annoying. But enlighten me: what's a "twist out" style? Shai, I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at that. Seriously, what are people thinking? Um, Patrick? Should I know the reference in item #5? Or is that a novel of your own? (We hope, we hope, we hope--please write your damn novel.) Little Willow, I’m glad you’re passing it on. Thanks!

It always will. I just posted the following at Laila's blog: What a fantastic friendship, built on a healthy mix of curiosity and understanding. What a great video, like PostSecret made into a movie and then some. I have passed the link on to others. Thank you! Your anti-spam word made me smile again. It always will.

I wish I had a nickel for every person who has touched my hair, asked why I wear my hair like that, and generally made so many assumptions. Sometimes we forget that we are all people first!

I get similar questions and comments about my Jewish religion. My favorite is, "Oh, you are Jewish right? I can tell by your nose." That is my favorite! How many times do we just word vomit all over people and not think about what comes out of our mouth? I swear our parents taught us better.... I love her questions!
