My decision

[peace_cory]

On Saturday, while sober, I made a decision that I had to be NOT sober to follow through on that night. I stood caressing and lovingly stroking it as I separated it from the rest of everything else and cried. My best friend walked in and made fun of me - you know, to give me moral support. Then, with two snips, it was out: I have finally decided

Would you like to expand on this? /:)

Are you: sad for the lock?... sad for me moving on?... sad for the rest of my hair?... sad that I bought cigarettes?... sad that no one knows I am so much older than I look?... sad that people don't take me seriously?...

It's amazing how many thoughts words get across...

I'm sad for the lock!! You know my adamantly pro-lock support. I recall we've discussed the possibilities of cutting the lock many times (ok, at least twice that I can think of).

of course I'm sad about the cigs. Happy about the age, and sad about the being-taken-seriously part, but none of those are new issues, really.

I'm a little cavalier about my hair, frequently cutting off great lengths of it and dying it with amateur abandon, so I'm a suspect source of advice. That said: Go for it! It's just hair.

heatherthegreat introduced me to her hairdresser a bit ago. I've seen her twice now, and I think she is the bee's knees. She's a geek like me, so when I tell her I'm not going to fuss with it, she listens and gives me a cut that doesn't need fussing. Previously, I had suffered enough hair trauma from styling maniacs that I had resorted to cutting it myself. Now? I love what Kristen does to my hair. She has a great attention to detail, too, so I never find those weird missed chunks of too-long hair.

How's this for endorsement: I feel compelled to hug her after a hair cut.

Come to Austin and I will introduce you to Kristen of Hairy Situations. We'll have a blast!
