About 4 months now?
Happy new year GUDU! 2009 brought me everything I wanted and some things I never needed [like probation ):], but all in all, it was one of the best years of my life. I fell in love, got my dreads back, turned 21, had so many firsts, so many amazing experiences ... the ups I will remember more than the downs, for sure.
Anyway ...

3 year old dreads!
hi everyone! i don't know if i've made a post here under my new screen name? i used to be ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) billie_dove. i rarely ever posted under that name so i doubt anyone would recognize my dreads anyway. but ya never know!
at the end of this month, my dreads will officially be three years old. i know i'm posting a little early but they won't be changing much between now and then, so lets just pretend.

Happy New Year!
I'm a bit over 3 months now with my dreads and the last month they've really matured. I wanted to wait til I got pictures of my friends that are more entertaining than just me, but I don't know if I'll ever see them and I don't have a little camera of my own sooo sorry but they're boring ole pictures of just me and my hair. and some mushrooms! :D

Easiest Dreadsleeves EVER.
So my friend's aunt TT gave me a pair of gloves for Christmas that were about 3 sizes to small for my fingers. Today I went ahead and cut the ends off so I could wear them and, Lo! inspiration struck.
All I did was take one of the ends I'd snipped off, cut the tippytop off and took a lighter to both ends so the fibers don't unravel. TADA!

Dreadpermed dreadies
Hey guys. This is mainly directed at those who have had dream perms before, but if you have any insight otherwise let me know, too! So, I got my dread perm a little over 5 months ago and after the first few months my dreads started to lock up really nicely, but recently (in the last week) a few of them are starting to just completely fall apart. The tightness is gone, and they're turning into these little soft fuzzy dry things that look and feel exactly like they did when I first got them done. WHAT THE HELL? Has this happened to anyone before? Here's a photo of one that's doing particularly bad.

So I perused the memories before posting (disclaimer :) )
Have any of you had an issue with the sheer weight of your hair? My mom says I can do whatever I want but usually does this guilting process when she doesnt like things. I have a very sensitive head and due to hormone treatments my hair is fine (not thin, but fine) and she said the weight of the dreads themselves would aid to my heads sensitivity and hurt all the time. I said that this can't be so because thick long hair has to be pretty heavy too, but it got me thinking:
Have any of you experienced extreme discomfort with your dread's weight and has it changed any sensitivity issues with your scalps?
If its a weird question or doesn't make sense, I can reiterate and answer any confusions at my wording.

Dread Nostalgia after 8 1/2 weeks?!
Ok, so the state of puffy-fluffy-not-quite-locs in my icon...? I really, kinda freaking miss it.
On the other hand my dreads are doing some seriously-what-the-fuck-are-you-doing-LOL stuff, so it's kinda ok...
... But I do still miss the sheer VOLUME of the puffy fluff...
(like my over-use of ellipsis? Yeah, it makes me gag a little, too. [but the Swiss beer in my belly says it's ok.])

15 months
it's been a while. i couldn't be happier that last year is over. but this year is a new beginning. a fresh start.
i found out this morning that we lost two of our accounts. i work for a cleaning company, and we clean office buildings. so now we'll only have one. and my boss is firing a few people. luckily, i've been there long enough that i'm keeping my job. but it still sucks.
and i was working at the Christmas Tree Shops, but unfortunately i was only hired as seasonal help. Saturday was my last day. so i'm on the job search once again. but i'm staying positive, and taking life as it comes at me. i have very good feelings about this year! :]
( onto the pictures! )
and i noticed that i have 2 or 3 small dreads that have formed naturally from the loose hair between dreads. i absolutely love them! they're so cute! i'm also thinking about splitting a couple of fatter ones i have in the back. but i'm totally unsure at this point. just a thought.
happy new year to all! :]
