Thinking about it, I wonder if consciously or unconsciously my dad decided to stay in one place because they moved a lot when he was a kid. (Granddad worked for the government. He was a rocket scientist! Worked on the Titan missiles. But yeah, they moved rather a lot of times.)
And Jaxom does it too! Bloody everywhere. Grumble.
I have worn my hair braided basically 24/7 about since middle school, heh. It tangles horribly within about five seconds if I leave it down, so. (And I can't do a high ponytail that doesn't look shit. I can do high pigtails and then braid them, though it always makes me feel like Pippi Longstocking.) I've got it in two (low) braids right now, and they are reminding me why I usually wear one braid by dint of falling over my shoulders all the time and irritating me. My hair is down to my hips now, which I'd be pleased with except then I read, say, The Hero And The Crown with Aerin-sol's floor-length curly red hair and am hopelessly envious.
My brain just doesn't seem to work with the structure of schools here. Lectures yes, classwork yes, tests yes, homework no. And homework is the greater part of most grades now and it was fairly disastrous. Where in the UK would you possibly be going? (My fiance's in greater London and it would be cool to know people, even theoretical future people, who are not hir friends. Nothing against hir friends, but they're hirs, not mine, and I am kind of endlessly awkward about them. I have some old internet friends in Bradford, but that's kind of far :P)
