It's all relative.

[FallenAngel]

I'm quite happy since I was at a barbeque yesterday, and was referred to as "the only one with long hair" when the cockchafers started to buzz around our heads. :cheese:

So, therefor I can't call myself supershortie any more, but I'm definitly not "long" by LHC standards. Obviously I have long hair according to my fiends now any way. They shall see what "long" is, be sure of that, fellow LHCers! ;)

[prosperina]

So wait, you're not even at shoulder yet and your hair is long? Cool! And you've got me wondering how long is your friends hair?

Doesn't it feel nice to be the one with the longest hair?! :D I definitely have the longest hair of anyone I know in real life and I'm not even at waist yet! I love that feeling, but I still feel funny when people go on about how "long" my hair is.

[Amara]

Good for you! Any milestone is a good milestone. :)

[funnybunny668]

Congratulations!
It's definitely a milestone to celebrate! :)

[BeatlesFanGirl]

Congrats!! :) You'll find yourself at APL/BSL/waist real soon, you'll see! :D (I mean, in case you want to grow it that long)

Yeah, I'm also surprised that I have the longest hair @ work, when I'm "only" at BSL (or an inch below that). College was different, there were more longhaired girls. Or simply more ppl.

[coolbreeze212]

Yay!! Here's to continued growth! :bottomsup:

[FallenAngel]

Thank you all. I love this place, everyone are so supportive.

And - Prosperina, I might need to change a little in my profile, I'm at shoulders now.

[AmyJorgensen]

Cockchafers???? :eyebrows: That is SO funny to me. Is it some sort of fly or mosquito?

[zen_oven]

I was wondering the same thing--what on earth is a "cockchafer"?

But yay! That's a milestone all right! I'm big on celebrating every single one.

[FallenAngel]

It's a bug, who gets caught in your hair... And causes a mess.

Grats! I'd say that's a milestone! ;)

That pic's going to give me nightmares! :p

Congrats on a milestone! It's always fun to be the one with the longest hair!

[Roseate]

:couch: Wow, what a picture! :p congrats on the milestone, and I hope you never get one of those in your hair, no matter how long!

[enfys]

What kind of mess do they make and how do I kill them and where to they live?

Cockchafers aside the milestone is great. You're now the long hair!

[wintersun99]

...........

[FallenAngel]

Hehe... they are quite friendly, and that's what's annoying about them. Also, they are HUGE, by bug standards.

It is really hard to get them out of your hair once they get stuck there, but luckily they only swarm (word??) a couple of days, maybe a week, in summertime. The rest of their lives they are living as larvs, under earth. I'll spare you that pic, they are as huge as larvs as they are as bugs. :D

In swedish they are called "ollonborre". :D

Oh, and thanks again for support and gratulations!

[UrsaMama]

We call them junebugs in ND.

[Pixna]

Congratulations, Fallen Angel! I'm touching SL, too, though I certainly don't feel long yet. It must be fun to be the only long-hair in your crowd! :)

SCARY!

I've never seen one of those!

Argh!

[free_hug]

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrggh, FallenAngel, that was scary! Oh, no, not the milestone, the pic of the monster. I expected something small, like a bug. But this thing must be as long as a foot! (well, judging from the pic)

Oh yeah, the milestone :) must feel great... keep up the good hairwork :sun:

[BlndeInDisguise]

That bug is just downright horrifying! If it is what we call junebugs here in the states, I know what you mean about them being "friendly". I can't stand it when they bang against the window at night when the lights are on. Yucky!

Congratulations on officially having long hair! :D

[AnneAdeline]

Congrats on the milestone!
And, boy, that is one creepy bug! If it is like June bugs, they're so annoying. They are big and just fly around bumping into things. My mom got one caught in her hat once and freaked out.

Aw, that's so adorably gross. :D

[BlackfootHair]

Wow...once I got over the initial shock of that thing, it is actually kind of cute. The little antennae make it, I think. Is it what we could consider a long haired bug? By bug standards, I'm sure it's "fur" is long. lol

[BlackfootHair]

Look, it's a smaller picture of the little thing, and it kind of resembles a gremlen. lol http://www.naturenet.net/blogs/media/blogs/eating/cockchafer.jpg

[MandaMom2Three]

Cockchafers???? :eyebrows: That is SO funny to me. Is it some sort of fly or mosquito?

:spitting: I ran across those in an insect book my son has! I try SO hard not to laugh, but then hubby snorts and I :rollin:

[Laylah]

it's cute in a weird way :cheese:

congrats on your milestone!

[Kiraela]

Congratulations on the milestone!!

If you ask me, that bug is adorable - and it really does look like a gremlin, hehe. It does not look like any junebug I'VE ever seen - I always thought junebugs were the shiny green or brown giant clumsy bugs that keep attacking my eyes (I think they like the reflection off my glasses, but it's still scary. I actually had a panic attack one night, and kept screaming that the junebugs were trying to eat my eyeballs. It wasn't funny at the time, but now... yeah. It's hilarious, hehe)

[GlassEyes]

Cicadas? o-o Sounds like them to me, but I'm far from a bug expert.

But that's cool!

[FallenAngel]

Nonono... not cicadas. It is... Melolontha melolontha, if we shall be scientific about it. :-)

But really, if you wanna know more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockchafer :D

It's obvioulsy our landscape bug, so I guess they are common here. :shrug:

[Rentlle]

ooh
we call it "meikevers" that's like: "may beetle"
They are protected in our country, so it's forbidden to kill them :)
Congratz with the milestone! :D

I'm usually not afraid of bugs, but that one looks like a monster. :scared: Are there any of those things in the USA? :couch:

[harpyangel]

eww I've never seen one of those bugs before here in uk.

It feels so good when friends say how long your hair is getting :) :) Mine are starting to comment (I'm just past APL now).

Happy growing!

That's really awesome! Congrats.

This is a June bug.

[Sheltie_Momma]

Ew. Icky. In Texas what we call June bugs are brown and smooth and knock about on the windows, they are not furry like this. I don't want your June bugs OR our June bugs in my hair, it is giving me the willies thinking about it.

I'm glad about your hair though, I have the longest hair of anyone I personally know in real life although it isn't long enough to me.

[JamieLeigh]

That's an awesome compliment, congrats! Becoming "long" by real-life standard is the first step - you'll be "long" by LHC standards in no time. ;)

[Kiraela]

I read the wiki article - We don't have anything like them in the US, and I don't even think they are in the UK.


I still stand by the fact that that little one is adorable. According to the wiki, it's a girl!

Aisling, that would show them, alright! :D
