I have really long and straight hair up to my butt. Its so long and SOOOOOOO straight that there is nothing I can think of to do with it. What is a reasonably easy hairstyle that is different than pnytails and braids but also looks good and pretty???????

I know everyone will say this, but if you're bored you should cut off some (not all!) of that length. If it's that long I'm sure you haven't had a serious cut in awhile and I would take it slow(ish). I'd start with losing considerable length, but keep the shape you're used to (don't immediately cut in chunky bangs if you don't have them, for instance) but I think you'll be surprised when you take off some length at how much more natural movement you get with your split ends gone and that (literal) weight off your shoulders. If you start by losing some length, you'll be able to play with it (4 or 5 inches below your shoulders should still look long, but be short enough to work with the up-dos you can't manage with really long hair). Give yourself a month or so and then decide if you want to go shorter or leave it long.
If you can bring yourself to do it, I think the length they require for Locks of Love and other cancer wig charities is eight inches, but I also know that's a tall order (I've had long hair forever, and I'd be terrified to go short).
Most of all, though, if you're bored with your hair make a change. Remember the best thing about hair - it grows back!

Cut it, not too short, but hair that long is just not good. I always looks bad/straggly. Cut it maybe two-four inches below your shoulders. Styles come easily then. An updo would look kinda stupid with hair that long.

Cut it really short, like a little past your shoulders and get it in layers. Get bangs that cover one of your eyes and make it layered too! That's what I have and it rocks! : ]

You may want to cut it. It will be much easier to work with and it will probably look nicer. An interesting look you could do is to put your hair in a bun and use chopsticks. They may be hard to do at first but they look awsome. Also, you could still put your hair in a pony tail (or a half ponytail) and put ribbons in. Headbands and hair acessories will make it look more interesting too. Good luck! :)

Years ago I used to have long straight hair too but then I decided I wanted a change and got it cut. It was an automatic difference and I guarantee it'll be a huge change and it will definately shock the people who seen you with long hair up until now. : ) I got compliments left and right. Also, when you are at the salon, ask your hairdresser what the new trend is and which style would go great with your face shape.
If you don't want to cut it then go for long waves. Here is a picture of what I mean (scroll all the way to Gisele's picture on the bottom: http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/long/). To get this look, use a thick barrelled curling iron and volumizing mouse/spray and it will give your hair the ultimate lift it needs. If you don't want to cut your hair all the way and only slightly, you can also get side swept bangs or get your hair layered to give your hair volume so it doesn't seem flat. This way you will still have your long hair but it will have a fresher, updated look to it.
If you do decide you want a dramatic change and want to cut it and since you have really long hair, you can donate it to a charity called LockofLove (http://www.locksoflove.org/) like I did. It's a charity that makes wigs for kids with Alopecia. You can tell your hairdresser about it before you get it cut so s/he can save your hair for you.
Whatever style you decide on, good luck finding the right look. : )
