I think it's a really important skill to be able to laugh at yourself. But growing up with buck teeth and a lazy eye made this skill more than just important, it was a necessity for survival! I learned to make fun of myself at an early age and I still enjoy it to this day. But just because I can make fun of myself, doesn't mean you can! Oh, the double standards of life. :)
Every time I get out of the shower, I comb my hair as straight as I can possibly get it and then marvel at the 80s poof that it slowly becomes as it dries. It's amazing to me each and every time and I'm not sure why. Maybe I hope that one of these days it will magically stay stick straight. The reality is my "natural" look is that of a teased frizz ball. If I could bottle that up and then go back in time about thirty years, I could be a millionaire! There was a time when people would kill for hair like mine. But unfortunately, it's not the 80s anymore and no one really wants hair that looks like this, including me. It's not straight, it's not really wavy, it's not curly; it's just frizzy.

I'm so jealous of the people that can just get out of the shower and go; their hair either dries completely straight or with nice, natural waves or curls. I'm 27 years old and I still can't quite accept that I will never be one of those people. My awful hair started at a very young age, well as soon as I got hair, so around the age of three or four. I never thought much of it until Pat looked through childhood pictures of me and said that I looked like a "swamp thing." I don't know what that means exactly but I know it can't be good. Unfortunately, my hair hasn't changed much since then.

| If your hair looked like this, you would make this face, too. |
Is there anyone else out there with worse hair than mine?
