The-Kaladin

So one of the owners of my work discovered that I had my 30th last week a few days ago and was so embarrassed that she had missed it and that the other coworker had remembered and bought some small cupcakes (probably remembered since my birthday is so close to the 4th and I had mentioned about possibly leaving early that Monday to make it to family dinner before a D&D session).

So coming up on now three months ago, my head was shaven bald. I had about a foot and a half long hair on the top of my head when it was shaved off (I kept the sides and back shaved/short). I've been growing my hair out since the summer of 2018 in that manner. This was my third donation of my hair. Thought it was technically a double donation (the shaving of my head (and my eyebrows) was done as part of a silent auction which raised $100 for a children's hospital).

I've struggled for a while exactly when I'd do this third donation and what my plans for afterwards. I didn't know whether I wanted to just go short and start to regrow it again (including the sides/back this time), go short and keep it short for a while, or to grow it extra long so when I donate it, there's still a decent length leftover so it could easily be pony tailed still. When this silent auction came up, I found it as a good enough excuse to stop delaying that decision and donate it.

So now I'm at "short" hair now, but it's grown long enough to potentially start getting a haircut if I wanted to keep it short during the summer. But once again I've been pushing off making the decision forward in time. But I think during this morning in the shower I finally made up my mind.

Properly shampooing and conditioning my hair, it's finally kinda getting long enough to start to run fingers through it (it probably needs about another month to be solidly at that point). But as I was running my hands through my hair, I realized that I really missed having somebody else's hands doing that. And I missed feeling the fingers grip and grab my hair as well (probably a handful of months until it gets to that point).

I absolutely loved the feeling of the hand in my hair both dragging me closer between thighs and even more loved the attempt to pull me away when they were starting to get overstimmed. It's honestly been way too long since I felt fingers in my hair like that.

So I think I've come to the decision to start to grow my hair a decent bit longer. Long enough to have it properly long enough to be gripped... though I'm not sure about going for donation length... When it wasn't being gripped and fully intact in a hair binder, it would wind up in my face and start getting into my mouth hahaha. But I guess since I'm nowhere at the moment being anywhere near that point/with somebody, I figure I'll start growing it all out (versus just the top) to donate. And if I do end up in a relationship, they'll get to voice their thoughts on how long would be a good enough grip for them.

Or something haha

And I'm interested in

3,4,16,36 :>

Happy birthdayy ^•^

- An.

Thank you very much for the several birthday wishes. It means a lot, so thank you again.

#3 Favorite Flower

- I've never really bought myself or were given flowers, so I never really need to think too much about it. I think it would likely be lilacs. I know they aren't a standard flower, but they grow in the backyard. And my mother would occasionally clip a branch with a good number of flowers and I always loved the fragrance coming off them.

#4 Have I seen the last person I texted naked.

- Hahaha, another person that is curious about whom I've seen naked. I guess it is an ever-changing state (I suppose most of these asks are over a long enough period of time), but this once could potentially flip up to hundreds of times in a day, especially when I'm getting a good bit of birthday messages. It's already flipped a few times today. The current answer is actually yes XD But for the funniest reason, I got a birthday message from a buddy that I swam with. I never saw like full frontal or stared, but there's only so many years you can swim with somebody and fully change at the same time and you don't accidentally see them in a state of undress.

#16 Top 3 Pizza Toppings?

- I'm going to go for my top three because that's what I'm pretty sure it's after and not for the Top 3 period. Pepperoni, BBQ Chicken, Pineapple. I know I know, flame war worthy XD

#36 Favorite potato chip flavor?

- Easy answer barbeque. Like I enjoy potato chips, but it's never like the first snack I'll reach for. But some barbeque potato chips with a burger at a cookout? Now that's summer.

#4 Have you seen the last person you texted naked?

#22 Are your nails painted right now?

#25 Are you vegetarian or vegan?

Hey! Thanks for the birthday wishes! And thank you for typing them out haha, makes it easier to answer on mobile.

#4. Have you seen the last person you texted naked?

- God no, thankfully. But that's mostly because it's my good buddy irl with a thank you back towards him for this evening. He (and his daughter) took me out to dinner and brought presents, since she heard it was my birthday tomorrow and that he gets to come have dinner and she'll be at her mom's.

#22. Are my nails painted right now?

- Unfortunately they are not. I personally don't paint my nails (way too much of a nail biter to do them myself). But I've had people paint them for me in the past and I've always enjoyed it. They get to do some artistic talent and I get a good physical reminder to keep me from biting my nails.

#25. Are you vegetarian or vegan?

- Another no. Jeez, three in a row. I am neither. I've dabbled a little bit on purpose (choosing vegan/vegetarian options) and for a while try to do a weekly vegetarian day, but I was never very consistent on the day. I totally see where people are coming from, I applaud their efforts, I could see myself doing it for a time, but I don't forsee myself permanently becoming either, due to lack of willpower and lack of funds/personal research.

The other half of the two sets that came in at basically the same time. Since they were the same and both came just as numbers hahaha.

23. Favorite condiment?

- Hahaha, this is going to dig a little deep. I had to Google it to see if what I thought was technically a condiment was a condiment. (Some say salsa is technically a condiment, since it can be added to eggs after it's cooked technically.)

The one that I probably use the most? Ketchup. But that's not the question.

Probably my favorite is basically any sauces that are used when I cook stir fry. Like if I had to choose X specific, it'd be Kikkoman's soy sauce. But I really enjoy changing up the sauce I use with stir fry. Kikkoman has some great sauces that I like (especially the Garlic and Green onion one). But I love teriyaki, Bacchan's sauces, and the occasional Korean BBQ sauce. Variety is the spice of life, so why not spice it up and change small details to make simple things unique and tasty. It's the small things that matter.

35. What's the last thing I bought online?

- I had to rack my brain quickly. There were a few things that I had to check: Amazon (book deals), Etsy, and thought I had it settled on the car parts for fixing my car's gas tank (which were suppose to be delivered yesterday, but now being delivered on my birthday, so won't even get to put them in the same day anymore, yayyy for borrowing the truck for almost a full week vs over the weekend. But nope, I'm an idiot and realized that I forgot that I had actually bought games on Steam for the Summer Sale... Specially Dicey Dungeon as one of them, that I played for a couple hours last night.... Jeez, I'm so dumb some days hahaha

42. How many pillows do I sleep with?

- A range of 2 to 4. Explanation: essentially I've got two stacks of two pillows at the head of my bed. For each pair, there's one that's like memory foam/somewhat "stiffer" and one that's older and more deformable. Essentially I am typically a side sleeper, especially when cuddling. Like have one or two pillows under my head (depending on what angle feels right) and then I'll have one to my chest as something to lean on/cuddle against. On occasion I'll have the fourth up against my back, but not too often.

TLDR: 4 on my bed, usually 3 when sleeping, only 2 when I've got somebody to cuddle.

47. Top 5 comfort movies?

- Unfortunately I don't really watch movies too too much. I am way too much of a binger to limit myself to movie lengths. Like if I was feeling down and needed something to put on, it likely wouldn't be a movie, it'd be an anime or maybe something on YouTube and I'd just tear through it until I had finished it or had felt better.

But for the sake of naming say five or so comfort "movies":

- Code Geass, what I think of when I think of my first anime. Beautiful story for both seasons. Really got me into a little bit of checking out other stuff and branching out what I'd watch. A very good gateway to anime. The ending is really just *chef's kiss*.

- Overlord, just a series that I've been bingeing through. Whether it be the light novels or the show. Also a bit close to my heart since I've watched the movie in theater with one of my best buddies. Just kinda see myself as somebody that could relate to the main character being dragged off into somewhere new and having to portray themselves as so much more than they are. It's a show that I go back to like every year or so and binge at least a season of it.

- Wheel of Time (books not show), it's a massive series that I've read since getting into middle school. It's a series that I can specifically reread infinitely. Like I could just read one of the three main POV's through the 14 books if I wanted vs all of it. There's times where there is a scene that gets stuck in my head and I'll have to dig out the book, flip to it, and read it... and then keep reading until I finish the book. Hahaha. When the show was coming out, I'd start rereads of the books beforehand so I can have them fresh in my head to compare while watching the show.

- Moulin Rouge, not really a comfort movie, but like an emotional movie for me I guess. Like if I'm down in the dumps emotionally, I've sought this movie out and watched parts of it over. It was a movie that I had been showed during my first serious relationship back in college. It's something that I look back at with a bit of bittersweetness. I never was really too big into romantic movies, but this one has stuck with me. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."... It's still something that I'm working on and learning still to this day.

- I'm struggling for a fifth one. So why not, if you've got a comfort movie that you dear readers would recommend, please feel free to leave it in the comments or message me (or anon me it). I'll let you know if I've seen it/what I think of it or I might have to watch it if I can find it.

Thank you for the ask. I wonder whom this anon might be hahaha.

1. Can I whistle?

- I can! Though I never figured out the trick to do it with my fingers in my mouth. It took me until my teens to figure it out. It was actually somewhat prompted by being on the swim team. Obviously you can't hear that well while your head is in the water, so when we cheer for somebody, you gotta be super loud, so I worked on and got a decently loud whistle. I've also able to trill (if that's the right word) it a bit so it's got a little bit of a bird call aspect sometimes.

6. Banana Bread- Walnuts yay or nay?

- Honestly I lean against adding in nuts to most deserts. I absolutely love banana bread and would eat it with walnuts if they were present, but I would reach for it without if given the choice. The real ones know that you add chocolate chips to banana bread, that's delicious as hell.

17. How long on Tumblr?

- I'm coming up to about two years on this blog, though I had one a little bit before this one for maybe about a year or so before I ditched it for this one. So I'd say a bit over three years. Never been too much posting or active too too much, so not much change shown on here.

19. Right, Left, or Ambidextrous?

- I am right handed. I'm decent at typing and handling a little bit with my left on its own, but anything that gets into fine detail work, it's trash. Like I've got decent grip and strength with it (which helps with blind groping while under the car), but definitely can't write with it.

Oh really? What kind of pet would you be? But the biggest thing is, why aren't you telling me this directly huhmm? How else am I suppose to know whom to treat like a little pet needy for attention?

But wouldn't it be better if it was you?

Application? Who says you need to apply? Though all asks and DMs are more than welcome.

I'm more than happy to give attention to all and any pets that need attention or care. Isn't that the point of having it at my feet? So it's nice and in range for me to give affection and attention as needed?

3. what color are your eyes?

30. whats your fav candle scent?

97. white, dark or milk chocolate?

Thank you, thank you.

3. My eyes are green, but they get a bit lighter in direct sun. Definitely one of the things I've gotten a good number of compliments on.

30. I wouldn't say that I really have a specific candle scent as my favorite. I think basically any of the subtler scents are probably what I'd lean towards. Like something that doesn't catch you by the nose and forces your focus on it, but that's there for when you kinda take a moment to breathe in and realize its presence. Like a soft embrace in its approach and you realize it's been there the whole time.
