My ten-year-old cousin told me tonight that my hair looked like a toupée. Maybe it’s time to get a haircut. :) Then again, when your hair is on the retreat, climbing up the hill, you want to take advantage of its length while you still can. I don’t think it looks like a combover, though. ~shudder~ (But if it does, why hasn’t anyone told me?!? :P)
Anyway, I’m realizing perhaps a little too late that I prefer longer hair. (By “longer” I mean around three inches. Yeah, it’s all relative. :)) Short hair is nice, but my head seems to need longer hair. Not to mention the whole frenzied artist image I’m trying to portray. ;)
This same cousin also took my phone and started texting girls in my phonebook, asking “will you go out with me”. Luckily I realized this before she’d gotten too far with it, and luckily I’m usually a stickler for punctuation and such in text messages, so most of the girls who got them could sort of tell it wasn’t me by the lack of the question mark. Now I’m glad I punctuate — though it is tempting to just let go. And it’s faster. But punctuation has apparently become my signature, so I’d better keep it up. (I’m just glad she didn’t text any of my married friends. Can we say “awkward”? :P)

I always use correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation when I’m instant messaging or texting. Glad I’m not the only one.
Me too. :)
Although I do have to say that in instant messaging I’ll often forgo capitalization, but only if the other person does, too. (But I’ll still keep punctuation and correct spelling.) I haven’t decided yet if I like this chameleon-like behavior for capitalization; it works, but maybe I should just be consistent. Hmm.
