Remy started playing with Mischief a few weeks ago, and played with us a few weekends ago in Ashland at Cramp-Up.
That's pronounced like Amy, but with an R.
She's cute (if I were male, younger and not attached, I'd be asking her out), just a bit shorter than I am, and wears her dark blonde hair in a perfect bun when she plays. Now, when a woman (or man, for that matter, but I'm ignoring them for the sake of gender-correct pronouns in this sentence) can play ultimate and keep her hair in a perfect bun, she has really long hair.
And Remy does.
On Sunday, she pulled her hair down and began twisting it into a bun. It was the most gorgeous hair I'd seen a long while. Long, slightly wavy (probably from the bun the previous day), light and dark blonde streaks. Very pretty.
I complimented her on her hair. And, to my surprise, she responded, "Thanks. I can't wait for it to grey. I have two hairs that are grey and I'm excited about them."
Blink.
Blink. Blink.
"I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not."
"Oh, I'm not. That's the first thing I noticed about your hair."
Great.
She continued. "I love grey hair. I think it looks dignified. Classy. I really like grey hair. Paul has grey hair, too. It's cool."
Pei, sitting next to Remy, readily agreed.
What the?
I'm thinking of coloring my hair to cover up these shocking white hairs and everyone around me loves them? I'm so confused.
Actually, that's not entirely true. I'm not so confused about the white hairs as fascinated. Do they grow in white, or turn white? If they turn white, how? If they grow in white, why do I have hairs with white (and I mean white) ends and black roots? Do the cells responsible for color just take a break, then start back up again?
And is the amount of white dependent on my stress level? Because I started getting a lot of white when the girls showed up.
Odd.
