Although I do want people to answer my meme’s. It interests me.

I told ya’ll tonight that I was going to rant about this. You were warned… 🙂

I forgot to put this in the user’s guide.
People have been pulling on my hair a lot lately. This is both good and bad. I kind of like it, and it kind of drives me batshit and I want to smack people for it. What a dichotomy. If you are just idly pulling small chunks–stop. This irritates me to no end. Don’t bloody tug on my pigtails over and over. Once can be cute, but over and over is obnoxious. If you pull my hair too much I do get migraines. If you are going to try to pull my hair in a sexual sort of way–don’t pull it unless you really mean it! Don’t be half-ass. Get a good hold at the nape of the neck and pull slowly but firmly. Don’t yank! This leads to headaches!! Don’t overuse this as a technique.

You people who have been yanking know who you are… *grumble*

As for playing with my hair in a soft gentle sort of way, please consider a few factors. Does it look like I put effort into ‘doing’ my hair? Am I about to go out somewhere that I want to look decent? Am I pulling my head away from you when you start stroking? I’m a girly sort of girl and my hair is frizzier than hell. If you run your fingers through my hair for a while it is going to turn into a major afro–and that is not usually a look I’m going for. Please consider my vanity in the whole gentle stroking thing. Although I do love having my head petted. Just not after I’ve spent an hour doing my hair and I’m on my way to a fancy ball. Timing is everything. Think mellow situations.

Standard disclaimer: Having some idea of how I like to be touched does not mean that just anyone can walk up and touch me. Despite appearances to the contrary I’m pretty picky about who gets to touch me. If I pull away from your casual touching sharply, please don’t continue trying. I may just not feel like I know you well enough. I may be having a really shitty day. Who knows. Pushing the issue is very very very likely to make me very angry and I remember that kind of thing for a long while. To quote Shania Twain: “If you want to touch her, really want to touch her, if you want to touch her: ASK”

And this ends todays public service announcement. *beep*
