Drawing 3 - The Grey Badge of Honour

This is what you get for messin' with the voodoo man:


That's some pow'ful magic right there, yeah.

In other news: Doodling means you listen better! Take that! I also believe that it's true in reverse: listening to something helps you draw better because you don't get worked up over your drawing or get bored and wander off.

Yeah, I got one last year, on my friend's 25th birthday, which meant I wasn't yet 25. That was some lameness. (Incidentally, her 26th birthday is tomorrow.)

I pulled it. Hasn't grown back as of yet.

What's weird though is I have a single fully white eyebrow hair that grows in the middle of my eyebrows. It's weird because my hair is very dark brown.

I don't mind so much, though. I mean, if I forget to pluck that one, you can't see it. Wish all my unwanted hair was nearly invisible like that. ;D Ah, the annoyance of being of Italian and Spanish descent.

I've heard pulling the grey results in more to grow back there, but it hasn't happened yet. I used to pull my aunt's like 15 years ago (she asked me to) and she still has hardly any greys, so maybe it's a myth that they grow back.

So I say pull it. XD

NO WAY! It is my mighty trophy, my battle scar, by grey badge of honour! I earned that hair and dangit, I wear it proud and free.

Of course there's always the possibility that it's just a coincidence of biology and timing, but that's not nearly as fun.

I don't think pulling the hair has any effect on the colour at all, really ... your hair goes grey when the follicle stops producing melanin, so unless pulling the hair is like using that pull-cord thing to start a lawnmower* whatever grows in is going to be exactly the same as what comes out. Perhaps your aunt still has hardly any greys because she keeps pulling them out ...? Or maybe she just goes grey slowly.

I hear you on the excess hair thing (French, here) ... such a bother.

Lmao, I edited my post a few times too. I was so tired I was doing the "write the sound-alike word even though it makes no sense" thing. XD

I've had some of my greys go back to being colored--they're grey at the tip, but as you follow them back to the root, you ca see them change back to brown.

Maybe I'm aging backward?

Tealin, you're fired.

Hey, these eyebrows didn't come from the British/German side of the family. I've seen French Canadians.
