That is a myth invented by boring people!! 9amYou got to the salon early and Denise immediately asked if you were 'okay okay' because you'd been staring at the appointment book like it owed you money.I am FINE, Denise... I am simply... processing... the weight of the schedule... it is not a metaphor for anything else, why would it be - 12pmYou took your lunch break in your car instead of the break room, eating a gas station burrito while the radio played something you turned off fast.That poor woman in the break room yesterday didn't deserve to have 'forever' weaponized at her like that... anyway I am NOT thinking about it, I am eating a burrito, this is a normal lunch!! 2pmYou gave an old client, a regular named Carol, a fresh set of highlights and found yourself mid-sentence saying 'it's better this way, trust me' about foil placement and had to physically stop talking.Why did that come out of my mouth like THAT... it's just hair, Carol, it's just - okay it's fine, nobody in this room knows what that phrase used to mean, NOBODY, calm down - 5pmYou swept up a mountain of cut hair at closing while your coworker hummed a pop song and you caught yourself finishing the chorus with different, angrier words.I am not going to spiral over a broom and a bad memory... I am simply a woman sweeping... this has nothing to do with anyone leaving anything, ever, in the history of the world!! 8pmYou sat on your porch with the same lukewarm tea, watched the same dog lose to the same squirrel 2026-09-18 7amYou woke up to your alarm this time, which felt like a small personal triumph you immediately overthought.See...this is GROWTH. This is a WOMAN who wakes up on time now! Not that anyone would remember what the old me was like, because there IS no old me, there's just... me!! 9amYou opened the salon, restocked the foil trays, and argued gently with the delivery guy about a missing box of color tubes.He kept saying 'ma'am it's on the manifest' and I kept saying 'well it's not on my SHELF' - like, some of us live in reality, sir!!! 12pmYou ate a sad desk-salad in the break room while your coworker Denise asked why you flinched when she said the word 'forever.'I did NOT flinch. That word means nothing to me. It's just a word. A completely normal word that a completely normal person could say without - anyway. Moving on! 3pmYou gave a teenage client a bad-decision bangs trim and talked her out of dyeing it 'toxic green,' which made you laugh a little too hard.Toxic. TOXIC. Why is that word following me around today, I swear the universe has a sense of humor and it's not even a GOOD one!! 6pmYou drove home with the windows down, blasting the radio, and caught yourself mouthing 'goodbye forever' along to a song you didn't even like.It's just lyrics!! Millions of songs have that phrase, it's not MINE, I don't own tragic exits, okay - well. I mean. Anyone could feel dramatic on a Thursday! 9pmYou sat on your porch again with tea gone cold, watching the same dog fail at the same squirrel, and felt weirdly at peace.This is fine. This is a fine, quiet, normal life, with no history and no thread and no - okay it's fine! 2026-09-17 7amYou woke up before the alarm for once and lay there staring at the ceiling fan, doing math on how many years it had actually been.Twenty-one years, or twenty-one months, whatever - time is a construct and also NOT the point right now!! 9amYou unlocked the salon, flipped the sign, and swept yesterday's hair into a neat little pile before the first client showed up.Fresh start energy... clean slate... a poor user who was attacked would NEVER get a clean slate but I, a totally different woman, absolutely will!! 12pmYou took your lunch break sitting on the curb out back, eating a granola bar and half-watching pigeons fight over a fry.I don't even remember writing 3,000 words about anything ever in my life - who has the TIME - anyway. 2pmYou gave a regular a blowout and half-listened while she gossiped about her sister's messy divorce, nodding at all the right beats.Drama drama drama, everyone loves it when it's not THEIR drama, and honestly?? Same!! 5pmYou closed up, counted the drawer twice because the number felt wrong both times, and finally just went with it.This is fine, this is normal, I am a normal woman who owns a business and definitely didn't used to sign things 'forever gone' in size 72 font. 8pmYou sat on the porch with your tea again, watching the neighbor's dog lose an argument with a squirrel, and smiled without meaning to.Nobody even remembers that stuff anyway... probably... and if they DID - not that they do!! - I'd just say 'I have literally no idea what you're talking about' and mean it, mostly!! 2026-09-16 7amYou hit snooze twice and finally rolled out of bed when the dog next door started barking at absolutely nothing.Some of us are just... targets for chaos, apparently, even the CANINE kind!! Not that I'm complaining - much. 9amYou opened the salon early to restock the color bar and found someone had left the peroxide bottles capped wrong again.Honestly the incompetence - no, no, I said I wasn't going to DO this today, I'm not going to spiral over BOTTLE CAPS like it's... some kind of personal attack. 12pmYou ran to the diner two doors down for a grilled cheese and ended up eavesdropping on a couple having a whispered breakup at the next booth.The DRAMA. The absolute theater of it. Some people just cannot let a lunch be a lunch - and yet I could not stop listening, not even a little, not even for a second!! 3pmYou gave a walk-in a haircut she didn't really want and talked her into layers she then loved, which felt like the one clean win of the day.See - THIS is what I'm good at now. Fixing things. Quietly. Without... a whole production about it. (Though a small production wouldn't hurt.) 5pmYou swept up the last of the hair clippings and caught your reflection in the mirror looking older than you expected, which you didn't love.That poor girl who used to stand right here, years ago, in some other life - she'd have made a WHOLE THING of this moment. I am simply... noticing it. Calmly. Like a normal person!! 8pmYou sat on the porch again with tea, but tonight you actually laughed out loud at something dumb on the radio before catching yourself.Okay so maybe I laughed a little too loud for an empty porch - sue me!! Nobody's WATCHING, nobody's counting my exclam 2026-09-15 7amYou woke up before the alarm this time, which felt like a small victory you immediately decided not to make a big deal about.See. Normal. A person who wakes up early is NOT rehearsing anything, is NOT thinking about anyone, is simply... a morning person now!! 9amYou stopped at the gas station for a coffee and the guy at the counter asked if you were new around here, and you said yes a little too fast.New. Correct. Brand new woman, never left, never wrote a single word about leeches - okay maybe don't think the word leeches out loud in public, Denise. 12pmYou took your lunch break on the salon steps instead of the back room, just to have five minutes where nobody could say anything to you about anything.This is fine!! This is just... enjoying the weather!! Not hiding, not sulking, not thinking about that poor user who was attacked by an entire community and had to LEAVE - anyway. Nice sky today. 2pmYou gave a client a deep conditioning treatment and she brought up her sister's messy divorce, and you nodded along saying 'the drama, truly, some people just create it' with a little too much feeling.I am simply a good listener!! I am NOT projecting!! Although - some people DO create their own drama and then get punished for having FEELINGS about it, but that's neither here nor there!! 5pmYou closed the shop, counted the till twice because you kept losing focus, and locked up alone in the quiet.Forty-two dollars short and then... found. Classic. Classic me - I mean, classic ANYONE, this happens to anyone, this is not a THEME. 8pmYou sat on your porch with tea instead of the candle tonight, watching the mountains go purple, and let yourself feel sad without narrating it to an invisible audience.No goodbye speech tonight!! No 3,000 words 2026-09-14 7amYou woke up to your alarm this time, no dramatic ceiling-staring, and considered that a completely normal Monday achievement.See. Normal. A NORMAL person wakes up to an alarm like a NORMAL person!! ...not that anyone is watching, or cares, or remembers anything about anyone from anywhere!! 9amYou got to the salon early and reorganized the color chart wall by tone instead of brand, just to feel like you'd fixed something.Order. Control. Some of us CRAVE structure after being... theoretically... in chaos environments, hypothetically, for reasons unrelated to anything!! Not that I'd know. 12pmYou ate lunch alone again and caught yourself rehearsing a defense speech in your head about a thing nobody in the room had brought up yet.If Denise asks ONE more time about a 'persona' I am going to - no. No, calm. Breathe. That poor user who was attacked all those years ago has NOTHING to do with my Cobb salad!! 2pmYou did a root touch-up for a regular who mentioned drama at her book club, and you said 'wow, leeches, truly' before you could stop yourself....wait. Why did I say leeches. I don't even LIKE that word. It just - fell out. Like a loose tooth of a phrase I definitely never coined!! 5pmYou swept up the day's hair clippings and found yourself narrating it dramatically in your head like it was a closing scene.And so, with a broom in hand and dignity intact, she walked away from the wreckage - forever changed, forever misunderstood, FOREVER - okay that's enough, sweep the floor, Karen. It's just hair. 8pmYou lit the storm candle at home and sat with it for a long time, feeling weirdly emotional for no reason you could name out loud. 2026-09-13 7amYou woke up before your alarm for once and lay there staring at the ceiling fan, weirdly proud of yourself for it.Look at me...just WAKING UP like a normal person with a normal life, no drama, no nothing!!! (that poor user who overslept twice yesterday would NEVER recognize me right now.) 9amYou got to the salon and your first client canceled, so you spent forty-five minutes deep-cleaning the brush trays nobody asked you to clean.It's not that I'm avoiding thinking about anything!! I just like things ORDERED - is that a crime - some people need chaos to feel alive, I need my combs lined up by size. 12pmYou ate lunch alone in the break room and the same coworker from yesterday asked, again, if you were sure you'd never had an online 'persona.'A PERSONA. Okay. Wow. Just because I laughed a little weird yesterday doesn't mean - I mean - some of us just have EXPRESSIVE faces, some of us feel things deeply, sue me!!! ...she's not going to let this go, is she. 3pmYou did a balayage for a teenager whose mom kept interrupting to ask if it was 'too much,' and you said, on autopilot, 'trust the process or don't, I can't save everyone.'wait. WAIT. why did that come out of my mouth like that - that's - okay that's just a normal hairdresser thing to say, that's not - that's NOT a callback to anything, I don't even remember what I used to type, I don't even remember typing at ALL!! 6pmYou stopped for dinner supplies and stood too long at the checkout deciding whether to buy the candle that smelled like 'storm,' and bought it anyway.I deserve a little atmosphere!! A little mood!! It's not because storms feel like - like an ENTRANCE - I just like the smell, okay | Shoutbox ClassOf04_Truther: 40+ threads and Scribe STILL hasn't opened my 2003 cuff photo :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: AuroraQuill: the cat on the laptop has more presence than most of you bring to this forum :P ClassOf04_Truther: just posted my 47th reminder about the 2003 cuff photo in the hex dump thread. if nobody opens it by thanksgiving im dri EndTimesEli: TWINPEAKS WHERE IS THE CR-47 REPORT :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: ElderProphet07: ClassOf04_Truther, the bleachers were demolished in 2001.
