Janet Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Frankie, Peace, & Charm -- I will eagerly await each of your arrivals! Anyone else want to come to the good ol' Northeast? We can read books and brush each other's hair... I did express a BIG interest in heading to Salem after reading The Lost Book of Salem, so I'm in! I'm not sure about the communal grooming, though!

Charm Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm not sure about the communal grooming, though! That makes it sound scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Communal grooming I wouldn't mind that though, I love it when someone else brushes my hair, or even massages my head. It's lovely Okay I guess I'll start saving money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lovely Okay I guess I'll start saving money.... Me too! When I was a little girl I had really long hair and after I'd had a bath and washed it, my Dad used to sit me on his knee and gently brush out the tangles and keep brushing until it was dry. Half the time I fell asleep and he had to put me to bed! It was wonderful Edit: Sorry, nothing whatsoever to do with your book reading Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Why, thank you! I am VERY excited about my wishlist.. So fun! I've had this Mark Haddon book on my list for so long now.. I am DEFINITELY going to get it this year. Frankie, Peace, & Charm -- I will eagerly await each of your arrivals! Anyone else want to come to the good ol' Northeast? We can read books and brush each other's hair... Not a problem, I await your thoughts. Hmm, I'm a bit worried. I'm presuming your invitation was extended to all the other BCF members as well? Well, I don't think anyone would have any luck trying to brush my hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Maybe we can use hairspray and spike it up or something, Ben? Don't worry, you won't be left out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 We clearly need to have a BCF shindig out on the east coast so we can all bond . Will your pad hold everyone, Bethany? And how far are you from the ginormous B&N? OMG I hope they sell Starbucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Communal grooming?! I'm so there! Oh.... you want to read books, too? ...and Salem? Oh I suppose we could do those things... if we must.... ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Kylie, I am GREAT at hairstyling.. I've practiced on MULTIPLE Barbies, and Skipper, too. My speci-ality is drying curly hair stick straight. Line up, people! I did express a BIG interest in heading to Salem after reading The Lost Book of Salem, so I'm in! I'm not sure about the communal grooming, though! Oh, you're in, Janet.. Don't act like you're too good for some good ol' hair brushin'! That makes it sound scary! Shh.. not scary.. not scary.. there there. See, Janet?! You've riled her up! Me too! When I was a little girl I had really long hair and after I'd had a bath and washed it, my Dad used to sit me on his knee and gently brush out the tangles and keep brushing until it was dry. Half the time I fell asleep and he had to put me to bed! It was wonderful Aww that is sweet.. My dad didn't know how to do a thing with my hair. I always looked like such a puffball if Mom wasn't there to fix my hair and Dad had to do it. One side wet and curly, one side dry and frizzy.. he didn't even know to MOVE the hairdryer around my head. Nice. Edit: Sorry, nothing whatsoever to do with your book reading Beth Don't care. Nope. Hmm, I'm a bit worried. I'm presuming your invitation was extended to all the other BCF members as well? Well, I don't think anyone would have any luck trying to brush my hair. ABSOLUTELY it's extended to all.. But you do have to go at the back of the line of the hair-brushing chain since you can brush but not really BE brushed... You understand. If you bring some other boys along, you don't have to sit at the very back. We clearly need to have a BCF shindig out on the east coast so we can all bond . Will your pad hold everyone, Bethany? And how far are you from the ginormous B&N? OMG I hope they sell Starbucks! It's not only the GINORMOUS one, it's the ORIGINAL Barnes & Noble. Fancy, eh??? Have I tempted you enough?? If not, I have a whole slew of bookstores (new AND used) with which to ploy you. Yes, there's room for one and all. Grab your hairbrushes (Ben, you too) and bookbags, move the cat and the Raja out of your way, and laydown your pallets, people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethany725 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 It's mine, and I love it! I do not mind one tiny bit that we're WAY off-topic. I'm fairly certain now that after all this that not one of you would ever visit NYC without letting me know you're coming. And that's what's important.

bethany725 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hey... can't blame me for aiming high. Now even though it APPEARS that I didn't get what I wanted (read: all of BCF moving to NYC), I'm still faring well because I may get to have visitors if anyone actually visits NYC for vaca.

Mac Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hey. I have no hair (I shave it every other day along with me beard!), so where do I go in the line when I'm in NY? Yeah, and if anyone knows any single, say 30-something boys, could you bring them to Beth's as well? Thanks . I'm thirty-something, Marcia (and have, on occasion, even been described as 'handsome'...oh, no. Sorry, I mean 'weird looking'...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Grumble I'm going to have mine spiked by Kylie. I should warn you that I've never spiked hair before, so I take no responsibility for the outcome! Hey. I have no hair (I shave it every other day along with me beard!), so where do I go in the line when I'm in NY? Hmm...can we shine your head for you?

BookJumper Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 If expert spiking assistance is required, I used to have mine bringht pink and punk-looking a few years back... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm thirty-something, Marcia (and have, on occasion, even been described as 'handsome'...oh, no. Sorry, I mean 'weird looking'...) I highly doubt the weird looking part, Mac! A shiny headed musician with an accent? You'd be the hit of any NYC shindig! If you have no hair to spike, you can just walk around telling everyone else how pretty they look and make Jesus toast for everyone .

Mac Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hmm...can we shine your head for you? Like some new variation of an Indian Head Massage? You had me at "Hello"!

You had me at "Hello"! :lol: If you have no hair to spike, you can just walk around telling everyone else how pretty they look and make Jesus toast for everyone . I make a mean coffee as well.
