RAPUNZEL IS A HORROR STORY.

I have a genuine and well documented fear of or repulsion of super long hair. Ladies, don't get all upset or insecure. I mean really, really long hair. Past your butt long. Renaissance festival, Crystal Gale long.

I don't know why, but I feel really nervous when i see those flyaway hairs. It just looks unhealthy and weird and unclean to me. Do see them combing it is obscene and if I'm ever so unlucky that it touches me, I shudder. I have no idea where this comes from, but it's genuine and deeply embedded. (I also hate horse's tails, which seem similar, and touching any untreated wood. I never said I was rational or normal!)

That said, people will occasionally leave pictures like this on my Facebook or in my inbox:

And I think, "My friends are jerks!" and I laugh it off.

Then, today, The Boyfriend emails me a picture from his phone, subject, "Neigh!" I open it up and get this:

I'm glad it's braided and thus put away, sort of, but hurt that The Boyfriend hates me and is clearly not involved in this relationship.

hairfarmers are disgusting. i remember seeing someone on donahue or some shit as a kid with ultralong hair like that and my sister got really grossed out and said something along the lines of, "she must always be sitting on it. and farting on it." and that has upset me ever since. as far as unnecessarily long hair goes, you and i are on the same boat!
