Sharing is caring

xansThere are... certain items that I just don't share with other people. About the only exception I make for this is for Alan, because given the amount of bodily fluids we've shared, it's not really gonna matter on way or the other. But there are things. Towels, toothbrushes, razors/trimmers, hairbrushes. And okay, maybe an exception for the hairbrush can be made, if a friend asks me.
Except... one of my hairbrushes is missing from its drawer and I don't remember being asked if anyone could borrow it. Given that Alan doesn't HAVE hair, he's not using it. Heaven doesn't live with us anymore and she would have asked first, which leaves Joe. And I don't see why Joe's using my hairbrush, unless one of his new ladyfriend's is the recipient, which still begs the question, Why wasn't I asked?!
Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little weirded out at the possibility of running a brush through my hair that might have hairs from someone else in it. I just know I'm going to have to clean that brush before I use it again, if/when it ever shows up. Not only that, but my brush being missing has messed with my routine.
See, I have really long, thick curly hair. The best time for me to brush it is when it is wet, after washing it. If I do it when it's dry, I end up looking like a bit of a frizzball. And it takes two hairbrushes and a comb. The first brush is my stiff-bristled brush, that isn't going to bend or snap when it encounters some of the knots I can acquire. That's round one. Then I had the nice hair serum stuff that's supposed to help anti-frizz, anti-tangle, followed by the softer bristled brush (the one that's missing) that can handle any of the small knots the bigger brush may have missed. Then comes the mousse which is supposed to help the curls stay together rather than falling apart into a mass of frizz (see a pattern here?) and I run through my hair with a comb before tying it up to keep it out of my face.
So having a brush missing kind of messes with that routine, not to mention the whole weirdness of the thought of that brush running through someone else's hair. Someone I don't know. *shudder*
