Yesterday when I got home from worked I glanced in the mirror and was not thrilled with what I saw. Have you had that happen? You go all day without much thought to your appearance, not really looking in the mirror. It was a busy day and I am not so vain that I need to rush to the bathroom and verify my hair and make-up instead of get the things done that need to be done. However, I am vain enough to feel a bit annoyed when, at the very end of the day, I see the results of my morning ritual were not that positive. It wasn't a huge deal. I didn't have something on my face or my fly unzipped. I had too much part.
That may sound ridiculous to you, but it is a true fear of mine. Too much part haunts me like food in teeth on a first date. Let me explain, in case you don't have this problem and, therefore, don't understand it. I have really light, fine hair so if not well placed it can seem almost nonexistent. Imagine the consistency and quality of a cat's fur and that will give you a good idea of what I am working with. So when my hair is pushed or pulled too fiercely it can create too much part, or if we are being more honest, near baldness.
So noticing this at the end of the day made my heart a little sad and then I immediately thought, with some resentment, "why didn't anyone tell me?"
There are a few pretty easy answers to that question, they are:
1. Most people don't understand or know how to articulate the problem of too much part. So how could they really tell me about it?
2. I work with pretty much all men and I am pretty confident they neither notice nor care about the part in my hair.
Conclusion: I need more women in my life, women that I see often, maybe even daily, and that understand my fear of too much part. Or, I guess I could just relax and assume if no one else notices that it shouldn't bother me all that much. I think it might be easier to just find a way to be around more women.

i personally know EXACTLY what you mean by too much part and too fine of hair. it is a drag at times.
i also personally know EXACTLY what you mean by needing more time around women. after having lived with other girls for so long, it was different in weirder ways than i had imagined to live with a man. for example having no one help you out with too much part. it is still an issue over four years later.
I feel so encouraged to know that you too have had too much part.
All of women relating, bonding, and friendshiping is done via the internet. Blogs are a fantastic was to stay in touch but it is not the same as a roommate, especially when you need to know if an outfit works.
