I Have a Square Head
Published by JD July 3rd, 2008 in I Get Personal.
JD and her square head welcome you to the first installment of a brand-new I Do Things feature. From now on, in addition to 2 or 3 insufferably long, wordy posts a week, you will be treated to one delightfully short tidbit. Usually a photo, sometimes a word of advice, or perhaps a catchy little ditty, this short form will invariably entertain, educate, and/or repulse you.
Think of it as I Do Things Light.

That’s it! The End!
OMG! You are so adorable! So, can you balance plates and stuff on that thing? Does it help when carrying groceries? Girl, you gotta make it work for you.
Kathy’s last blog post..Never Say Never
Just think how much money the transport companies would save if all babies were shipped with square heads. You know, because they stack better.
I anxiously look forward to your advice. It can’t possibly be worse than my mom’s advice like - eating pickles will give you acidic blood.
Alice’s last blog post..Matatu Love
You must have evolved from those woman that carry those HUGE baskets on their heads!!
I will be leaving short comments in response to your short posts. Next week, this comment will just say “HA!” if it actually makes me laugh.
Got it?
Cool.
Ha!
Angelika’s last blog post..Anyway…
Oh wow. Well, everything is better in cube form, so consider yourself lucky.
Kathy: I can stand on my head like you wouldn’t believe!
Jeff: My mom told me that story, but I never believed it.
Alice: rips up next advice post idea . . .
Lori: I evolved from SOMEthing, all right!
Angelika: Fair enough. But what if it doesn’t make you laugh? Oh, I don’t even want to think about that.
Regan: When you put it like that, I DO feel lucky. Also, Cube Head sounds a lot better than Block Head.
ROFL!
JT’s last blog post..And the days keep rolling by
Hey, haven’t been here in awhile… love the new look! On the topic of square heads they have already been made famous with the Simpson’s, so you are in excellent company!… er famous company!

“I can stand on my head like you wouldn’t believe!”
Ha ha ha ha! “Look, no hands!”
Babs - beetle’s last blog post..I lied…..or did I?
Oh my soul, that picture is so cute. I’m sad, though, that you’re changing your format … boo hoo, JD! I’ll miss those insufferably long, wordy posts because as you know, that’s how I DO THINGS, LOL! In this case I’m afraid less will not be more~!
jennypenny’s last blog post..Unforgivably Random Post
hey Blocko! You were adorable! Anyway, do you remember a LONG time ago you said that you wanted to be a hono(u)rary Canucklehead. Well my friend, I did not forget - sometimes dreams do come true:

As a winner of this prestigious award, you are also entitled to pass it on - should you be so inclined. Cheers!
This reminds me of Dilbert. You belong to an intelligent family
Lovely Post.
Scratch Bags’s last blog post..Trapped amongst tickling gits
PolymerClayTutor: Welcome back, and thank you! However! If I may be so bold to say: My square head came before The Simpsons, so . . . I think someone owes me some royalties.
Babs - beetle: Right! I could stand on my square, flattop head for DAYS!
jennypenny: NO! Not changing my format! Just adding another short post in addition to 2-3 long ones. I’m glad you like the insufferably long wordy posts! You may be the only one…
Canucklehead: Oh, MAN! That code went in my sidebar faster than a Tim Horton’s donut goes into the mouth of a Canucklehead. WOO-HOO! Awesome badge. Thank you!!!!
Scratch Bags: Well, my family certainly thinks so! Thank you so much.
I’m glad you enjoyed it - cheers and happy Independence Day. Cheers!
Did people used to rest their coffee mugs on your head? Your square head must come in handy at cocktail parties - pop a plate of hors d’oevres on your head and you can serve while you schmooze!
Happy 4th July!
Tiggy’s last blog post..Tiggy’s Shopping Bizarre - Omelette Wizard
I have nothing worth adding because everyone else’s comments were so funny (in an offense way) that I can’t imagine what else I’d add.
Well.. there is one thing…
Why couldn’t you have been my friend way back in the day with me, so you could have been called a blockhead and I wouldn’t have had to?
Florida Girl In Sydney’s last blog post..Welcome to Australia
I think it’s the ‘comb-down’ hairstyle that creates the illusion of a square head. Very adorable in a Gerber baby way.
I like the idea of the format. An appetizer post, for when readers (me) don’t have time for a full course meal.
I’m sitting here, looking at your baby picture and singing the theme song to that 80’s TV show, Square Pegs…..”Square Heads, Square Heads…..SQUARE!SQUARE!”
You’re bringing Cubism back. Yeah!
elasticwaistbandlady’s last blog post..From The ‘Cheez-Its, How Many Blogs Can One Woman Possibly Have?’ Files
Tiggy: I think it’s because people rested their coffee mugs on my head that it became square. That ain’t no way to treat a baby!
Florida Girl in Sydney: Aw. Let’s travel back in time, shall we? I’ll let everyone call me “blockhead” and you can eat the horrible canned peaches so I won’t have to.
ann of the shampoo bag: Yes! You got it. And, since I’m pumping up the advertising a bit, I like to give my readers a little something extra to nibble on.
As for the comb-down—you’re right. I think the classic single, upright pigtail would’ve helped elongate that cube.
elasticwaistbandlady: Is that like bringing sexy back? If so, I’m all for it. And wasn’t “Square Pegs” the BEST!
Your mother and mine had the same hairstyling sensibility. Little tiny bangs to further accentuate the expanse of the forehead. Did you rebel at some point and not let them cut your hair AT ALL for four years? Oh. Well, I did.
Elle’s last blog post..So, I Got a Little Color Job…
Ouch for your mom!!!
Nah, cute pic…
And I love that you know about the Tim’s obsession up here. Congrats!
Elle: I am STILL rebelling! I don’t think I’ve cut my hair in a year. The hair torture continued into my childhood (does anyone remember that pink tape moms used to plaster curls onto your face?) and adolescence (once I’d finally achieved the Marcia Brady hair of my dreams, I was forced to wear barrettes!)
Maureen: I asked my mom about this, but she was apparently too busy puffing away on cigarette after cigarette as I was being birthed. So much for my I.Q.!
okay wow, your head was (is) square, but cute picture. at least your family combed your hair.
Natural’s last blog post..No Internet Connection
Natural: Thank you, my dear. I wish someone would comb it now. It’s a rat’s nest.
Awww You look beautiful, even though you have a cube head. Its nothing…
DaMan Conners: Why, thank you. Perhaps you meant to say “. . . because I have a cube head”? Either way, very nice.
