Transcript

Get the pixie pillow molded down. Don't sleep. Sleep on your hand. Get a satin pillowcase. Satin scarf tied in the front. Get the bow all do-rag. All the things. It shouldn't be that hard. If you only got this much hair, it shouldn't be that hard. But it is though. And I thought getting a perm would make it easier. It didn't. I probably would have been better with the curly hair and the wash and goes. I wanted to get up today and go get my hair done. I had to calculate the days that I'm gonna need my hair to stay done. That's today. So today is Friday. Saturday, Sunday, by Monday, trash. What the fuck? So I need to go get my hair done tomorrow. Hopefully, it'll last till Wednesday. That's Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I hope that I can get it to last till Wednesday. I did this little pixie do rag last night. Now I already know it don't look good. I look like a newborn baby straight out the womb. With the comb and everything. Now I know the pixie do rag probably wasn't a good idea to put on my head. But I'm at the point now. I don't even care. At least I got some edges though. I could say that. Don't worry about it. I'm just getting my hair done tomorrow. Because this baby. This baby. This baby. Newborn baby out the womb. When? When? I'm irritated now. Bye.
