How often do you use hair straighteners?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 10 Aug 08

For a long time i resisted getting a pair of straighteners becuase i though my hair didn't need them and that they would only damage my hair anyway. However, sometimes i would wake up and have a bit of hair stuck out that just...

acutedisaster I never use them. My hair is a slight bit damaged in the back, and I'm always worried if I got addicted to straightening my hair, it'd get even MORE damaged. Yikes. Not my cup of tea. Lol. I like my hair the way it is. Straight hair is so bland.

acutedisaster I think everyone has different preferences to be considered as 'good' writing. And in particular, your father's preferences are a little strict. So, I'm pretty sure his constructive criticism is what you really want to use in order to impress...

Corimore @Corimore (249) • United States 9 Aug 08

Have you ever tried to write a novel or story to be published. Have you ever had a book or short story published. I always wanted to and have started three books I seem to get stuck at the middle of the story. I'll still plug at...

acutedisaster Well, that wasn't very nice! If I saw that happening, I would've got along side her, and told that other girl, my friend got to the pump first. I hate rude people. Jeez. At least Karma will come back and nip her in the bud!

acutedisaster No. I'm a high school student and it's all everyone wears and it's tacky as hell. The clothes after you buy them are wrenched in the stench of feet, ALL of the clothes, girls and boys, look the freaking same. The employees are terrible, to me. When you...

acutedisaster His tummy might be upset. Dogs eat grass because apparently it helps make it feel better. He might puke all that grass back up here in a little while. My dog's stomach was upset a few days ago, he ate some grass and he's fine now. :) Don't worry....

acutedisaster Yeah, I find it hard sometimes. Usually when I want to concentrate, I just take my laptop to my room and it's much peaceful in there. I can get a lot done. Right now, my house is silent and it's lovely. :) Have a great day and I hope you can...

Did you ever take a shower with cold water?

acutedisaster Sometimes when my house gets a little warm from the heat outside, I can usually stand a cold shower at least once to cool myself off. Lol. I don't like bathing in cold water though, so I agree with you there. One time when I was really ill, I had a fever...

acutedisaster I talk to mine. Lol. When it slows down or something or a page pops up that says, "Connection timed out." I always say, "What do you mean? You've been working fine all day!" And I do thank it when it works fine again. Lol. Have a great day!

pearl1003 @pearl1003 (668) • Philippines 9 Aug 08

One day i felt pity for the ants crawling from our kitchen wall down to our dining table. They are taking a long way to get some food to eat. What if it was me? I was like traveling from one city to another just for food. Imagine...

acutedisaster What an interesting topic! I don't think it's crazy you helped the little guys. I think it's very generous. I have never helped an insect before, I don't think. Sometimes if a spider is in the house, I let them free outside, but that's about it. One...

Fiction vs. Non-Fiction: What is your preference?

CrazCo @CrazCo (409) • Canada 9 Aug 08

I prefer non-fiction books because, for one, my imagination is incredibly lacking. Also, I like to know as much as I can about our society and world and reading non-fiction books helps me do this.

5 responses

acutedisaster Fiction all the way. I like the imaginative state and creativity authors have rather than non-fiction, because fictions books take me away from reality. Kind of like films. Although, sometimes I enjoy non-fiction novels too, but I really have to be in the mood...
