Went to my hair appointment. Jane cut my hair, thinned it out, and even straightened in. Look at how long it’s getting. :) I over-tipped her so she gave me some change back. :$ I guess that $10 is too big of a tip when you’re out of change. She gave me $5 back. But hey, that’s how you know that she’s a good person, I guess. She feels wrong taking too big of a tip. Oh, well. :$ Of course I would do something awkward; I’m socially awkward. Oh, and Bandit’s photobombing. <3
azbubba replied to your photo: Funny. I was just thinking about that yesterday. I’m also German-Irish but I almost never acknowledge my German roots. Reason: my parents divorced and my mom’s side (German) pretty much disappeared. That and my dad’s family is FIERCELY proud.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it today. I think that I have a similar reason to yours, now that you mention it. My mom’s side is German, but her entire family is deceased or in Germany, with the exception of about five people (a half-sister, half-nephew, half-cousin, her brother and his son). Something like that. I have a big half/step family in the same area as me, but I don’t really associate with them or consider ourselves family, even though I can easily point out how we’re connected. My dad’s side, however, is entirely in the same area, or just a bit farther, and I’ve always been close to them growing up. However, in recent years, not so much. Also, however, it’s hard for me not to think of “stereotypical Irish people” when I look at myself because I have orange hair and green eyes, along with pale skin and freckles. I look at myself and automatically think “Irish”.

Look at how long my hair’s getting. The waves/curls are all natural… which is kind of easy to point out because of how messy they are. :3
