Viewing hair length: This board vs. "out there"...in the real world

[MonaLisa]

I'm in NYC and completely understand the crowdedness, adn general insanity of 34th street on a nice day especially by that Victoria's secret at Herald Square and on a saturday(you're a brave woman). People are outright crazy, and especially the guys. It makes me sad that that's the insult he could get back at you with, ridiculous! But go haed girl, sounds like you put him in his place.
Me and my friends were out on a saturady in harlem sometime last year. I had my hair out, and we were cruising around looking for parking or something. Anywho I was in the front seat letting the wind blow through my twistout, and these guys pull up in one of those promotional vans, somebody's random album. They start trying to talk to us, and my one friend who's always too much totally deads them, and was pretty mean. i was just chillin listening and cracking up, and one of the guys was like whatever raggedy ann. I was like who me? And he's like yeh with your shirley temples. I mean it was supposed to be an insult, but I thinking wow he's pretty far away to be able to tell that my hair is curly not just froish, that's curl definition! YES! Anyways I was like thank you, and we drove away. But my friends know how i am about my hair,a nd were like tryin g to comfort me, and I was like y'all I'm ok, he could see the curls from where he was: i'm not doing so bad afterall.(that was kinda off topic)

Off topic:

Thank you for understanding the circumstances that I was under that Saturday afternoon (as soon as I got off the train - some guy said "Got Milk?" - then some Amazonian Caucausoid chick was standing in the street on the corner blocking the way - I exhaled some air to prevent myself from saying something...but she heard me...and her bold a** said "Oh, am I annoying you?" It took all my strength not to tell the first cat - "Got a little d***?" and not to tell the Amazonian chick "Yes, and you need to shut the **** up before I climb up you and slap you in your throat."

*I've been working on my temper for the past year or so now before I get shot - I try to exhale now instead of commenting back to folks - it's very, very, very...hard*

Awwwww...and I'm sorry that random Harlem cat came out his mouth at you. He probably has a tiny wee-wee and felt a need to lash out at women in very petty ways... *hair hug*
