well, if they're not fucking cosmetic, then why the fuck was i prepared to treat them as if they were??? pssshht.
i started reading up on them. the first thing that turned me off was how all these websites insisted that i use some sort of wax to loc up my hair; i don't want to process my hair to dread it... how silly is that?
these websites were like talking about how natural dreads look bad and were lame because people just don't give a fuck about the aesthetics of their dreads...
this is what i really love: "I don't really think that people that use this method are really after dreads, I think they are just pissed off at their hair and decided to let it do what it wants." ummm, what's the meaning of having dreadlocks again? oh, it's just a hot new hair trend? i think not...
i read more about the nature of dreadlocks, which i could relate to much more deeply; a spiritual action, or inaction, rather, to let the hair do what it will without interfering with it (this is the result of denouncing your potential inclination to "gussy up", let your body do what it does naturally, and to focus on what's more important.) this is why i decided that i wanted to dread my hair in the first place... i'm not trying to have perfect 1" squares of knotted hair covering my head. no, thanks... i think that's kinda silly and contradictory.
i've been playing with my hair quite a bit (like twisting my natural locks) and they're starting to form on their own.
this woman stopped me on the street today and told me that it's not too late to turn back... she's like, you can just condition your hair and brush it out. and that my hair will be nice if i comb it. she also warned me that i wouldn't be able to do this later on and that i'd have to cut my hair off (and that the dreads were "unhygenic".) well, i NEVER comb/brush my hair... it's too curly/frizzy. i told her that. she suggested that i get a straight iron. i was like, uh, i don't want to straighten my hair... i like it curly. i also told her that i'd been planning to shave my head, but i decided to let it do it's thing first, and then i'd shave it when i'm ready to do my full-out cleansing (i'm not ready to shave it yet.)
she was all surprised.
whatever, bitch.
edit- i've been reading this kick ass book called "women of the light: the new sacred prostitutes".. learned lots valuable new shit. i've read like 200 pages in the past day and a half (it's a big book too.)
oh my god, i spent like 45 minutes masterbating tonight... i had the most incredible orgasm EVER!
i learned that
a) i DO, in fact, have a g-spot...
b) controlled breathing is an amazing thing
and
c) female ejaculation is soooo not a myth
