Erica just gave me a haircut she was rather proud of. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, I took it upon myself to trim up my sideburns with the clippers. Let me preface this by saying sideburns are something I've never really understood. Either mine grow in differently than everybody else's, or I just don't understand them in general; I missed the boat somewhere along the line. Well, let's just say I misjudged the attachment I was using, and pretty much took off my right sideburn completely, dug into the above-the-ear hair as well, and also somehow gave myself something similar to the lines of Vanilla Ice or Jamin's new style. When Erica heard me spouting Christian curse words, she came in and was nearly brought to tears. Needless to say, the haircut turned out much shorter than we both originally intended.

Another topic. I've been wondering lately, what's the correct response to the knock on the door when you're using the bathroom? Every time I'm in the bathroom, I get really scared someone is going to knock on the door. Sometimes people knock and I completely ignore them for lack of a good response. Pretty much anything you say sounds really strange and awkward. Greetings, such as "Hello!" are just plain odd. Shouting something like "Occupied!" or "It's in use!" seem a little rude or peculiar or nerdy at the very least. "Who is it?" is about as good as an inquisitve "Yes?" and both are out of the picture. "Just a minute!" is probably the best I can come up with, but that makes it sound like you're in the middle of something, rushing to finish, which can become uncomfortable rather easily as well. Suggestions?

No, but seriously, I'm looking for some advice on this one.
