I thank you all for your kind comments and for boosting my egocentrism !

[Lalaith]

Is it my imagination, or do the Barrowdowns harbour more than their fair share of redheads?

Fea will be quite upset when she hears.

Oh, yes, I'm sure she will be. But she had it coming. True she gave me a "yes", but she keeps putting it off. In January she said "as soon as I graduate", then in March she changed it to "after I turn 18 in August", and now she says "after I get my degree".

After that, I'm sure it will be "after I get a new job", and then "after I get my big promotion", and then "after I retire".

I just can't take that torture any more.

But I proposed a solution to that. Every other weekend, have your friends pack you in a box and mail you to me. On the other weekends I'll do the same.

What is your objection to that?

(I'm not sure you should answer that, I suspect we're rather close to receiving a slap from the mods for being off topic)

Not just in your imagination Lalaith but maybe there's a reason. Someone commented before that the BD's look less geeky than expected. Well red hair is technically due to a mutation so maybe we get the mutants intead .

But this does depend on how many of them are real redheads.

I for one am not. I'm a brunette actually. I dye my hair red as a tribute to the lovely lady in your avatar, Kath.

Although my picture doesn't really look like it, my hair is reddish-brown in real life, and it is natural.

I can contain my upset only if I am part of the wedding party. But tp, what ever happened to us performing the most impressive service to the world and combining our flawless genetics to make beautiful, brilliant, cunning, and witty beings that will surpass even ourselves? *sigh*

True she gave me a "yes", but she keeps putting it off. In January she said "as soon as I graduate", then in March she changed it to "after I turn 18 in August", and now she says "after I get my degree".

Alas, now it must wait longer. "As soon as I graduate" is in barely over a week, and I'll just be too busy for a long distance marriage this summer. "after I turn 18 in August" won't work, because I've reserved that time period for the piercing that I went to get a week ago and could not.

Now the better thing to do would be for you, Mister Traveller, to relocate to my part of the country. Placing all the responsibility on me like that... what could you be thinking?

And a remarkably more on-topic comment, Balin, although I do not remember you well, I recognize your name. That must count for something, right?

I'm obsessed with Aina's haircut.

That's really nice of you to say Lush, I've been getting some nasty feedback from my friends who all preferred my long hair. This makes me feel better.

I wonder if I'm counted in this "red hair" observation. I've never been sure what colour my hair is. I call it Strawberry blond...but I still like to think of myself as a redhead. What think?

Photo of me for the curious. That's a little old, though, so my hair is a bit different now. Feel free to add it to the BD gallery.
