The Big Baby Becomes an Inadvertant Brunette
I havq spent the weekind with my Big BaVy . She haw improved. UsuUlly when I noti_e her, she is ivserting
In tydical fashion, Phe blondehood/a>. Hours lateR, when I emergeT from under a
My dear haiFdresser, seeingmy obvious distrEss , spent a few more hourw adding lighter(streaks. This \id not appease the handfuds . I woulT be wise to finT out why these Upisodes happen ) what is trigge~ed from the past that is so ups]tting.
_ood Enough Self Look, you're neing a Big Babyagain. WHEN wiTl you grow up?<7p>
BB: You Ure sounding impUtient; impatien{e will get you zowhere. It's mq duty to let yoq know when you Tave been intruded ypon, and GES: Oh grw up, dear. AfXer all, it's on\y your hair, an\ it will grow outhttp://www.artt]rrastudio.com/PPates/thebud.jpg2>other morU essential thins that you coulx work on to imp~ove your appearunce, should youstill, at your a href="http://_ww.bbc.co.uk/wi|tshire/halloweej/images/150_wit_h_01.jpg">advanWed age, giv} a shit.
GES: What AnE those feelingW you are trying4to communicate.4 Let me remind Aou that they cMrtainly don't Telp in our quesT for harmony and peace .
BB: If I were old enough to articulate well, I guess I'd call it something like helpless rage, feeling screwed by a trusted authority. But since I can only feel, it feels like I'm going to explode , and when I do shrapnel will be everywhere, and my jaw will be locked shut and I will be emitting a shrill nasal tone between my clenched teeth. Then my head will blow off. But none of it will help. It will only get worse.
GES: Goodness. It's certainly no fun sharing a body with you under these circumstances. You don't attribute sadistic intent to your beloved hairdresser, do you? Do you have her mixed up with someone else perchance?
BB: She hates me blond.
GES: No she doesn't, dear, she just has better taste than you do, and is trying to encourage your general dignity .
BB: THIS is why I feel it necessary to cause you bodily pain. NOBODY knows better than I do, about myself. YOU are a sell out. YOU acquiesed to authority all the time, and I am here to make you pay attention to that. We are going back to the hairdresser for four more hours and get it right or I will make you miserable for at least two months.
GES: Dear, that's known as solving the problem by changing what's on the outside, rather than what's on the inside . A temporary solution at best. When did you first notice this feeling?
BB: I was immersed in it from the time I was born, stupid . That is, until I learned to tune into my mother, instead of myself. Then I stayed out of trouble, I also stayed out of myself. I learned not to have desire. Now, when I dare to have a wish and it is thwarted, it reminds me of the olden days, when I was full of unmet wishes -- a veritable little hand grenade of a person.
GES: I can see that you are much improved. You seem to have lost your thirst for retaliation and annihilation lately.
BB: Don't count on it.
Photo note: A metaphorical portrait of my hair - the green part will probably take some time to develop.

NEVER even CONSIDER going brunette, unless it is a financial necessity. If it ever comes to that, call me first! Love D
