Kink Thinks

Blending in

Sometimes I feel that you expect too much of me. I can't be all things! Kinky Curly, wavy, STRAIGHT? Who are you? You want to be THAT girl now? With the hair the blows in the wind, and does not shrink up her back to her ears? Cause that is what I do. I shrink. And I will do it again as soon as you release me from this heat imposed state of pressed unkinkyness. Or as soon as Poseidon lends me a few of his minions to assist in my reversion. For now I will try do be this, this, FLAT thing that you seem to strive for, because I am strong and capable. I can be this chick too, temporarily.

I like coconut!!! Why don't you use more coconut? You don't like coconut? Clearly I do...
Why don't you give it to me?

You're mean.

But your skin is clearing up. Good for you!

I don't care about your face

2012-08-24T15:11:00.002-07:00

I shall fall in your eyes,
mock the shape of your head,
blow in your lip gloss,
add a lovely sheen to your forehead.

I will swell in all the wrong places to accentuate your wide nose,
or your small eyes.
I might even drop a sole soldier on your check or eyelid, and there it shall remain, looking like an insect until you see it hours later.

And when you least expect it, I will lie inexplicably flat. That should alter the entire look you were going for with that face paint you just put on.

Today, however, I am just a part of you.
I belong here.
I make your eyes sparkle like the sheen I emit.
I make your cheekbones pop and make your generous lips perch righteously under your nose.
Today...

Ignoring me?

2012-08-08T11:35:00.003-07:00

So you think you can just roll out of bed without saying a word to me?? You know I didn't mean it, the other day. I just CAN'T stay like that. hey!
HEY!
You didn't even look in the mirror!!

What if I were thirsty? or hungry? What if I have decided to begin the locking process as you slept?
You know, I have thought about it on numerous occasions...
Maybe today is the day.

HELLO???

You aren't even listening.

Everyone can see me. I AM right above your FACE after all.
But you don't care.
Is it something specific I've done? I know I have a "strong personality" at times, but I know I make you laugh and smile sometimes too. The way I accent your cheek bones, or your eyes? not today huh? You don't need me?

Well, I guess I will chill out for now. you can't be mad at me forever. Is that it for real? You're mad at me?
sigh.......

I Had a Party

2012-08-06T13:49:00.000-07:00

...while you were sleeping last night. You were not invited because you're such a drag.

We all played a very lively game of product rejection and as of this morning I am comfy and coiled, though a bit sleepy. I hope you don't mind.

I saw your face in the mirror and you looked a bit surprised, though you stayed calm. I'm not sure what that means, but you really don't have time to argue with me now, do you? Off to work you go!!

Let's chat again around 7p when you get home, K?

I bust the windows out your car

2012-08-03T13:39:00.000-07:00

well... At least I tried to.

Explosion!!! Don't call it a come back! I been here for years!! POW!
^
As your solitary headtie burst and flew off your head at 100 mph! Your reaction was priceless. As if somebody hit you in the head! Like boop! < LOL (at you)

Then I was FREE. And I slowly slid down and out to claim allll the free space that is rightfully mine.

It took you a full hour to get another elastic. hahahahaaa.

Your man has issues! You should leave him.

2012-08-01T14:12:00.000-07:00

Now I don't want to go alerting the authorities just yet.... But your man has issues!!!

How are you gonna just let him man handle me like that??? I don't know what the hell YOU are into but please leave me out of it.

I mean, you didn't even tie me up last night, ever. Now I'm all dry and crunchy. I hope you know that I have no intention whatsoever of doing a damn thing you ask of me today. Nope. I've been abused and I am feeling some kind of way about it.

sigh.

You are not going to like this but...... I think you should leave him.

No, seriously. What is he doing for US? We don't spend hardly as much time together as we used to. And I may be going out a a limb here, but that press... Was that your idea? or HIS? Because you know how much WE hate being pressed and I don't understand why it was so important that you press me in warm weather. <_< (That is a major side eye to you AND your so called "man")

I've also noticed that his pillows are not made of silk, not even satin. Yet you do not wear a scarf? WHY??? Again... I don't know what YOU are into but it really has nothing to do with me, so I don't see why I should suffer. He's changed you, I'm afraid. For the worse.

I tell you this because our relationship is very important to me, and I don't want to leave you. In clumps in your brush, and shreded pieces on these COTTON pillowcases I see far too often now a days.... I will leave you if this continues. You need to leave him first.

Make a choice. I ♥ you more!

Notes from your kitchen

2012-07-30T13:18:00.000-07:00

Hi,

It's me, in the far back.

Ummm, I don't know if you've ever noticed, given your rough treatment of me, but I am fine and dainty. Like a flower. Or a butterfly wing. Or.... you know that white stuff inside of couch cushions that comes apart? Well like that stuff, I will break the hell apart, nary to return.

You've hurt me. I don't know why you keep thinking I am going to join that ponytail over there, or that bun up there, but, NO. I will not. Maybe ever. It's just not my thing.

I'm too dainty for that. I like to feel the wind twirl me about. But I HATE your collar. And your shirt. Kind of a contradiction I know, being that I wont go in the ponytail either.
I can't help you figure this out, but I can tell you that you've really insulted me this time.

Those bristles hurt, and the gel makes it really hard for me to breath. I just want to be myself and I'm not really interested in your agenda.

Please stop hurting me so. I'm already much shorter than the rest of your hair. Do you want to get rid of me entirely? How would that look now....? right. NOT cute. But that is what's going to happen.

This is a warning.

From the far back.

YOU fail. Roller set?

2012-07-27T12:59:00.000-07:00

I know how hard you tried, and how long it took, but I am just not that type of hair. Too bad, soo sad.

I actively resisted for a while. I admit, your low heat and tension were quite persuasive here and there. But mostly NO. I dried off alright, and for a moment I was even a little afraid that for all my resistance you may be able to pull off this roller set.

Then... you stopped. HA.
Did you really think that you had changed me so soon? That you had somehow convinced me to lay flat and stop touching myself ALL OVER... Now you know how much I like to touch myself. All over. tsk tsk.

Better luck next time. 2 hours is a yawn and a cough.
This updo I'm in is brave though. A little clever, yes, but brave in that you only have these 3 pins on the left. I hope you know that I've managed to loosen them all up about 25% already.

I'll see you in the mirror at 3:30 so we can freak out together.

I AM

2012-07-25T11:49:00.000-07:00

kinky hair.

Sometimes I'm coily. I'm always screwy and I have a major attitude. I'm Strong and Soft.
I don't care what you or anyone else thinks of me, and I try my damdest to do my own thing. All I need is for you to make one fatal error and I am free! FREE!!

I can be your best friend, or your worst nightmare. A frienemy, an associate... It all depends on how I feel that day. Literally, how I feel.

... Look at her over there with her hair of a dog... Human hair doesn't come in Brindle. How ridiculous...

Sorry, I was saying, um. I have mood swings. Yes. I really enjoy seeing one of us nearby, always looking for my long lost twin. I know she is out there somewhere. She has my same density, coil pattern, reactions. I just know I'll find her one day!

Today I am pulled tight, into a bun I suppose. Just wait until I finish working on this hair tie though. I'll be free by the end of the day I'm sure of it. I just hope you don't have another one in your bag of magic.

And by the way- I am overdue for a wash. I hate you when I'm wet, but I hate this coating of oil and polymers just as much. You should do something about this immediately, and do a better job than last time. Or else... And that's all I have to say about that, for now.
