    Why don't you write a story about a mommy's struggle to make her hair unappealing for her kid to pull? She could try putting different things in it and buy new toys for the kid. Ultimately, she decides it's just easier to let the kid pull her hair. :D

    thats a great idea, or in the end mommy decides that it's better to shave her head.

    In the final scene, daddy comes home to find both mommy and baby pink and hairless, staring up at him from the floor.

    That just made me laugh. You have no idea how many times i have pictured doing that. It's true what they say, "kids will either make you go gray or rip your hair out" well some of it is true. Kids will make you go gray, and the baldness comes from them ripping out your hair. :)

    Hi new people! I don't have any kids, but my nephew likes to rip my hair out of my head. And it's really long, so it's hard to keep it away from him...he also likes to pull my glasses off my face and grab my boobs.

    I made ice cream cone cupcakes, by the way. I effing rock.

    I'm no fan of cupcakes, but ice cream cupcakes sound so appealing I'd definitely eat a few. :D

    There's an ice cream shop in my town that sells "Lil' Udders." It's a box full of ice cream scoops in cupcake liners. On top of each is a cute decoration with sprinkles, etc.

    I love hometown ice cream shops. :) Fondy has 2 really good ones -- Gilles drive-in and Kelley's Country Creamery, which is homemade ice cream. Their best & most poular flavor, Karen's Crazy Cake, is AMAZING. Won an award as well.

    I've never been a big fan of fair food, all the deep fried stuff, but my town's summer festival, Walleye Weekend, has these AMAZING cheese curds. They're unhealthy, but they're beer-battered and cheesy and just PERFECTION, and I only have them once a year, but I think about them year-round, they're so good. :D

    I'm not sure, it doesn't really specify. I looked up expectations for them online, and it sounds like it should be an essay-length thing, but the application makes it sound like a paragraph...I'm so confused!

    Really, I can do it...I'm just a lazy arse.

    ^haha, uhh. I know what you mean. I got so freaked out today at work because I thought I'd be taking some skill block test for the service desk. But I didn't have to which was good. But for a second there I felt a bit guilty about being so lazy and not going over the notes. lol :)

    Well time to jump off the deep end. My paper on Jane Eyer will now be about the role of Masculinity. Sort of the opposite view from a feminist reading, I plan to assert that Bronte did not accurately portray her male characters.

    Haha yeah, I keep starting to work on it, but then I get distracted. I've got an idea of what I want to write, I'm just really nervous about it being good enough. Especially because I'm sending it to my favorite professor, and I don't want her to be like "...what the hell happened to this girl, she used to be such a good writer..."

    Edit: Kyle, I want to read your paper.

    That sounds like an interesting study.

    Awesome, a steam train just went past. :D And now I need to stop procrastinating... It always amazes me how I can still procrastinate even when the deadline is the next day.

    Just talk about how great you are and how many asses you will kick. That'll motivate you to write it! If not, add in some superpowers. That's how I got into college.

    I'll give that a shot. :p

    The thing that's making me most nervous is that there aren't really any guidelines for what they're expecting. I don't want to submit something that's too long or too short...
