I didn't think I much liked beards, but then H grew one. He keeps is washed, combed, oiled and trimmed and I like it. He looks hot. Not all men can pull off a beard, a lot of them can't. But he REALLY can.
And his mustache is now long enough to wax. Heehee, I'm sexing a saloon bartender.
I actually hate that it's a "trend" because I have always thought long beards were sexy since I was 15 years old. All of my boyfriends have always had one, as well as my husband. But now people think he just does it to be a hipster, and people post stupid things like the beard flowers/ beard xmas ornaments on my FB because they think I'm just into the trend. No!!!!
Ditto. FI has had a beard for years, and he's had flannel shirts since he was a kid. We were at a bar the other night and literally every single guy sitting at the bar was in a plaid flannel with a beard, as was FI. He looked around and said "fuck, I'm trendy now." It's annoying cuz neither of us are the type of people to follow trends. He was just doin' his own thing and then a trend came along and swallowed him whole. Damnit.
Also flannel was a thing in the 90s. It's not new. I wore flannel all the time in early high school
I feel the same way about red hair. Oh sure, it used to be ugly when I was a child and now there are all these fucking imposers. I used to be an ugly kid because of my hair and freckles and skin. Now I'm the hottest bitch at the ball.
You need fucking freckles to pull it off, okay? You can't have black eyebrows and fire engine hair and no freckles and a tan.
IT DON'T FUCKING WORK LIKE THAT STOP SAYING YOU ARE A NATURAL REDHEAD
UGHHHHH FUCK, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I know a girl IRL who is most definitely NOT a natural redhead. She's drunkenly admitted to me how much she loves my hair and wishes hers were natural. But she got a Kia Soul and made a bunch of very public "look at me" jokes about how now she can finally have a soul, and constantly refers to herself as a ginger and all this other shit. It makes me so ragey. Like, bitch, you have brown eyebrows, no freckles, and a tan. You aren't a redhead, just an attention whore.
Also I just really can't fucking stand this girl in general, in case that wasn't obvious.
YUS. It's cool to dye your hair red, just fucking do NOT refer to yourself as a redhead, natural or a ginger.
@larrygaga when I was a kid I REALLY wanted red hair, freckles, green eyes and glasses. I thought that was the prettiest look ever and I was so disappointed to be a blue eyed blonde.
I always wanted to be a blue eyed blonde.
When I was in kindergarten, I went to my mom crying and asked if I could dye my hair blonde because "blondes have more fun."

I don't think Kristen Stewart is a terrible actress. I really liked her as Joan Jett in The Runaways. Bella Swan is just a terrible charecter.
In that same vein: I think a better writer than Stephenie Meyer could have taken that story to much better places. I actually like the CONCEPT of Twilight, really. I think it's the execution that fucking sucks.
I am going to get a rotten tomato shield now.
@larrygaga I really, truly, have always wanted to have red hair. I think it is absolutely the most beautiful hair color in the world. I dyed it red for a while about three years ago. My eyebrows are almost black so it was blatantly obvious that it was fake (also it wasn't even salon color, it was crappy cheapo box color that I paid $3 for) but it was the happiest I ever was. I am going full red again in February.
...or The Alamo (which not only serves food & booze but also doesn't allow unaccompanied kids & no babies and enforces as strict "no talking/texting" rule)
Oh. My. GAWD! FI is a total movie buff, and we go AT LEAST weekly. And it seems to me that talking in movie theaters has gotten worse in the last couple of years. And somehow, the talkers always sit near us, so I'm constantly bitching and snarking about these people to poor FI.
So of course this theater sounds like heaven to me, and I googled it, wondering where it's located. I never dared to dream there would be one near by. BUT THEY ARE BUILDING ONE IN MY TOWN AS WE SPEAK!! Oh joy! Oh bliss! Thank you @SmileDamnit for cluing me in! I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!
SCORE!! Seriously, you won't go to another theater to watch a movie ever again. We've only had one in Denver for a year or so and it's already ruined all other theaters for life...to the point where I'd rather pay to go to the Alamo than use the stack of free tix we have to the AMC theater around the corner.
Seriously. We never go to the regular theater anymore. We take Amtrak to Kalamazoo and hang with our friends.
Plus, when you pay $20 at Alamo, you get a huge (refillable) beverage and a fucking MEAL, not some bullshit soda and popcorn Their pizza is awesome, and H loves their burgers and fries. They also have desserts.
Oh, and alcoholic milkshakes!
Oh oh oh... and their popcorn has REAL BUTTER on it. Mmmmmmmm... It tastes like the stuff you make on your stove. It's so fucking good.
When people call themselves writers, as in they say "I'm a writer." But they've never been published. Um no dude. Just cuz you sat at Starbucks for an hour and typed on your laptop does not mean you get to call yourself a writer. I'm always hesitant to call myself a writer, and I have a degree in it and have had multiple poems, short stories, 2 novels, and a memoir published. So BAM.
...ouch. I've been writing since I was 10, so 16 years, daily until recently. The high point in my publishing career is only a short halloween story in the local paper, but I still call myself a writer.
The good news is that you, having been published, get to call yourself an AUTHOR!!!!
This beard talk just made me realize that I have never dated anyone without hair on their chin. Never.
Yeah me neither hahahahaha
It's different, to me, if you've been dedicated to writing and it's actually something that you do. I mean the douches who crank out like 3 pages of crap and then go around saying that's what they do. When people ask me what I do, I say clinical research because that's my job. Sometimes I refer to myself as a writer but only if it comes up. I don't like the word author. Don't know why, that word just seems lame to me. As I'm typing this I'm realizing how weird I am about stuff.

I look good as a redhead, but I go dark red/violet not freaking ginger ;-)
I get bored with being a brunette and I refuse to go blonde, so red it is.
Sorrynotsorry.
ETA: Most natural redheads actually have brown eyes. I was just in freaking Ireland and most of the Irish were not redheads. . . they were mostly brunette and then blonde.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
hellosweetie1015 you do you! As long as you don't proclaim yourself natural then by all means welcome to the firey brand of hair!
FUUUUUUUCK no. I don't think I could convince a blind person that I was a natural redhead. I'm too dark-skinned, haha. It's that 1/32 of (unconfirmed and possibly imaginary) American Indian blood I've got.

I'm going to disagree with this.
I'm an artist. I draw, paint, illustrate, etc. Am I ever going to have a show in a gallery? No. But that doesn't mean that what I'm doing isn't art. It's just not the bullshit modern art that people are into buying so their friends will think they are intellectual.
I'll stab anyone to death with my Wacom stylus who tries to tell me otherwise ;-)
UO- I hate almost all modern art.
I just explained this in another post but if it's really something that you do, then cool, call yourself that. But not if you're just saying it to sound cool. I've made more money off my paintings than my writing, but I've never referred to myself as an artist or a painter, although I will sometimes refer to myself as a writer. So I'm weird about terms anyway :P

Ooooooh okay. Yeah, no, I absolutely see the difference. And I mean, if someone asks what I do, I say legal assistant, so I get that.
I feel incredibly differently about the word "author" though. Because it is the exact thing I would love love love to be, and unfortunately I don't see it happening anytime soon.

My hair hasn't been "natural" for like 10 years.
I dye it varying shades of brown to get a deeper richer color, sometimes I get highlights, sometimes I go red.
Who cares about being natural, lol!

I don't think the ability to make money off something you do dictates whether or not you can say you do the thing on a professional level. Should we not consider Van Gogh to be an artist because he wasn't very commercially successful?
Some people are artists or writers who never want their work to be seen by anyone else. It doesn't make them less of an artist or writer.

I do. You wouldn't get it, you aren't natural.
Oh for God's sake, that's the equivalent of saying a person who doesn't have kids "wouldn't get it."
As a child you struggled because you didn't think your freckles and bright red hair were pretty, and perhaps some stupid ass kids picked on you and called you a Ginger. . .is that it?
Well, kids are typically little shits.
ETA- I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to show I do get it, lol. I had a few friends growing up who were natural redheads and kids were just stupid shits. They grew into very pretty girls. .. which made it worse because then ppl were jelly ><

I get it, I have seen kids be dicks to other kids over their hair, etc. I never understood it then, and I don't get it now.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
I came back in just to let you know it wasn't the fucking kids that were the problem. It was the mother and every other woman in my life I looked up to calling me fat and ugly.
UGH blood pressure I really am out of this thread this time. /dramaistarted
Also, IDGAF about non-redheads dyeing their hair red as long as they're not pretending they're natural redheads. That's the part that burns my ass.
But who the fuck does that?!
Obviously ppl do, but I just can't wrap my head around it.
Same with people who hate on "gingers"- and I hate that term, btw. My God freckles are so damn cute and sexy, get fucking with it people!
Please refer to my previous post about the girl I know who does exactly that.
The ginger hate is just fucking dumb. I knew a girl once upon a time who had some little blurb on her FB (or, shit, this might actually have been Myspace) "about me" section about how awful gingers were. When we became friends, she replaced it with something about people with braces.
It was pretty obviously just "oh, it's cool to hate things." She didn't actually give any shits about any of the things she claimed to hate; she just wanted to look cool.
