On one hand, it's beside the point. On the other, this particular fundraiser has brought a few things to the surface, maybe because I'm dieting, too. My neighbors know me as that quiet lady whose garden is fun to watch. Yesterday one sent his small nieces over to me to sell raffle tickets for their youth group. I attempted to chat up SEOs Fight Fat with the adult-sized set, but first I had to spell SEO, explain SEO... and I doubt any of them would remember an unfamiliar acronym that stands for an unfamiliar concept long enough to go to Google. "I do some work on the Internet" gives them a place to imagine me, when we're not chatting about our cats or kids or whatnot, and I like the privacy of what I do, but it is so very ghost-like. Besides, hair is temporary and something very short and green would be fun to wear at my face-to-face community's <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22procession+of+the+species" rel="nofollow">Procession Of The Species</a>. :-) Maybe I should write a blog post about how I feel about standing out.

But I suppose doing something outragous does help to push it along and get you noticed. You do realise that you're going to have to bleach your hair first if you decide to dye it pink don't you? It could take a long time to grow out if you hate it. But, you'll definitely stand out. Commumity building takes time.

You do realise that you’re going to have to bleach your hair first if you decide to dye it pink don’t you? It could take a long time to grow out if you hate it. But, you’ll definitely stand out.
