What's the big deal?

I really hate offending people. I do. I will bend over *backwards* and stand on my fricking *head* to be nice to people. I try really hard to give supportive, nice comments when people are feeling down, though I don't always know what to say. I watch, or try to, everything I say with the idea that careless words can hurt.

On the other hand, I'm not going to let anyone walk all over me, or ever pretend to be facinated by something I'm not. There is a very fine balance between lying and being nice, and I know the difference. I'll be nice to a point.

Five for Friday

1. What shampoo do you use?
Patene Pro-V two in one. For limp or oily hair.

2. Do you use conditioner? What kind?
I have some St Ives minty conditioner that I use once in a blue moon.

3. When was the last time you got your hair cut?
A month, I think? My bangs need cut again.

4. What styling products do you use?
*dies laughing* Style? *mwahahahaha!* I'm lucky if I get a brush through my hair.

5. What's your worst hair-related experience?
Oh, this is an easy one to answer. I used to get perms. The very last perm I got, the solution was too strong, and they left it on too long. I asked for a loose, wavy perm, and got a tight spiral. Worse, I had chemical burns all over my scalp and around my hair line... I had crusty sores across my forehead and behind my ears and on the back of my neck. Worse STILL, my hair started breaking off, so that I had little patches of crewcut -length hair throughout my previously mid-back length grossly-permed, dry, damaged hair. It was AWFUL.

Beat that!

For all my ranting about not being able to control other people feeling offended by my LJ choices, I feel just /awful/ about the person I managed to offend. Rats. I honestly never meant to, and I feel /terrible/ that they took it so hard.
