So usually I put up with it for a bit and then lapse into a very comfortable silence. Getting my hair done is supposed to be relaxing, and trying to make small talk with someone whom I will probably never see again isn't quite that. They get a bigger tip if they shut up, lol. <BR/>(oh and hi! im new, I'll be reading this tonight instead of a book, cuz that's just what I do. ahem I hope you don't mind me leaving comments on such old entries? *looks shy)sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817736786530470345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17428788.post-1134765932747244602005-12-16T12:45:00.000-08:002005-12-16T12:45:00.000-08:00Small talk with a haircutter is bad, but even wors...Small talk with a haircutter is bad, but even worse is the incessant chatter among the asian ladies when they do nails! Of course, I don't speak whatever language it is, (Vietnamese? Tagolog?) so who knows what they're saying about me.....<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the haircut.

I hate it with a passion. Argh! <BR/><BR/>But congrats on getting your ears lowered. I just have my grandma cut mine now. She usually does it a little too short but who cares? It's hair. It grows out. And if the grandma cuts, it's a free haircut.Krislinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323048843568458474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17428788.post-1133478279305240032005-12-01T15:04:00.000-08:002005-12-01T15:04:00.000-08:00Small talk is prety much the bane of my life.Alrig...Small talk is prety much the bane of my life.<BR/><BR/>Alright, I'll admit I'm exaggerating.
