I did that, but at the end! I looked in a mirror, saw my hair and said 'Oh no, my hair! I always mess up my hair when I'm nervous'. She didn't say anything, but he laughed and said 'Well it's still falling beautifully' (he was gay).

Ok, so breathing and lists, breathing and lists, breathing and lists *deep breath*

Right, so I'm filling in the application form now...
