AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 9/28/2004 08:56:00 PM ----- BODY: first, let me apologize for the pity party the other night AND for not posting until now, therefore forcing you to see that sad sad post whenever you check to see if i've updated. i try not to feel sorry for myself, but on that night, i'd had a little alcohol (the hell you say!) and so i felt no shame in feeling sorry for myself. i'll try not to let that happen again. (although, i do have to say that the hotornot.com thing is having an unexpected side effect. there are many emails in my inbox daily from guys that want to meet me.) so last week i went to get my hair done. i went to a new salon (i'd been there once before a few months ago) because my normal person was way booked up. so i went and had "crazy girl" do my hair. now, i mean that in the best possible way. she cracks me up something fierce. we talked about any and everything. she's funny and has the same kind of attitude i do. which is to say she's got the "this is me, take it or leave it" attitude. by the time i was done with my cut and color, i had decided that she DEFINITELY needs to go to vegas the next time i go. (not next month, but whenever i go again after that.) the best part? since she has the same attitude i do, she has a question she asks everyone to see if they're worth her time. her thought on it is this......"why waste everyone's time if our personalities clash?" so the question she asks is this......"when you take a crap, and you wipe, do you look at the paper to see if it's clean or do you just flush it?" now, i know it's not a question for everyone, but i thought it was hysterical! if you think about it, you actually can learn a lot by how people answer that question. if they answer that question, that is. her take on it is if she asks this of someone and they get all offended or are shocked, they won't get her personality or sense of humor, so she doesn't bother with them. so, do any of you guys have a "fail safe" question that you use to weed people out? --------
