I found Larry! April 30, 2004 ~ 12:03 pm
Posted by Julie in : About a Julz, Random Insanity , trackbackOkay, preface on this. I’m almost 27, and have found the occasional grey (actually, because I’m a redhead, they’re white) hair. Starting with the first one on my 18th birthday. I yank them, then don’t see another one for years. Last fall, I got two. Two. At one time. For some reason, I decided not to pluck them. I named the one on the left side Larry, after the actor I was working with at the time who probably caused it. And I named the other one Rick, after the love of my life, who definitely caused that one.
I haven’t seen “Rick” since. Probably because his counterpart has been amazing about trying not to cause me stress, being affectionate, taking care of me, and just generally being a good guy. For all I know, “Rick” may have spontaneously decided to turn red again.
“Larry,” on the other hand, rears his head every so often. Can’t find him all the time, he blends in with my blonde highlights. When I find him, I laugh. It’s like a coiffure “Where’s Waldo”. A few minutes ago, in the bathroom mirror, I found Larry again. I laughed, washed my hands, and looked again. He had vanished. “I’ll fix him,” I thought, and yanked him.
Now Larry is laying on the floor of the Second Floor Women’s Restroom. Take that, Larry.
