My Commute on 2 September 2010
Sep 3rd
Instead of typing something that would take you 15 minutes to read, I decided to just record my door-to-door commute today, and wouldn’t you know it turned out to be just shy of 15 minutes.

This girl likes her hair.
She likes it so much that she eats it.
That’s right. She eats her hair, and not just a little bit, a LOTTA bit. Like 1kg of it.
Apparently this is a REAL disease, as opposed to one of those silly made-up ones. This one is called trichophagia. And yes – it’s the compulsive eating of hair.
This one is really hard to wrap my head around. Literally. I don’t have enough hair to even reach it with my mouth…that’s the benefit of having short hair – I can’t have trichophagia in the More >
