Long Hair

Long Hair shows me in the best picture I have of this strange era. Okay, so the nose is a little weird but somehow I still love it. Strange era doesn’t even cover it.

I was unemployed for awhile and at the very beginning Ernie is just like, why don’t you let your hair grow? What a breath of fresh air to hear something like this. Which sums up Ernie in a lot of ways.

In the past I have had those ridiculous boyfriends who would express disdain for my hair choices. Resulting in arguments that left me numb. Did they not even know what I am?

You tell me no and that is exactly where I am going. Don’t want me to shave off my eyebrows. Bye eyebrows.

But here comes Ernie and I grow it way down to below the middle of my back. He would braid it so I had that Kate Bush frizzy wave. It was the best. Ernie is the best!
