one of my dreads died. and i don't mean in a small, quiet sort of way, i mean it really croaked! and quickly too! this afternoon i suddenly became aware that one of the dreads in the front was nearly entirely unknotted! at least 3/4 of this thing you could comb through! and i don't know why it did that, it was just very suddenly straight! because it certainly wasn't like that last night! or this morning for that matter i think. very strange. someone cursed it i think. so i had to pretty much take out what part of it was still knotted and then re-do it, so now it's way shorter than it used to be seeing as all the hair just ripped instead of unknotting and it's also a newbie dread again. neurg. i hate newbie dreads. they're all soft and silly. so now i'm worried that the rest of them are going to follow suit and then i will have terrible and ruined hair which will be very very sad and i will cry i'm sure.

in other news, there is no other news. or rather, i suppose there is. i have (almost) gotten a new idea for a book, or at least, the first 30 pages of a book. it's not at all developed yet, but i have the very most basic of ideas as to how i want it to go. but other than that, not much. it will take some more pondering upon before i can start and perhaps i'll actually finish this one. that would be nice. then i can get it published and live off of the royalties and retire.
