... Turn and face the strange ch-ch-changes........
Yes.... look out you rock and rollers indeed. It is with great fear and trepidation that I write about this new point in my life. Not because I am unsure of myself... or because I'm not pleased with the change, BUT... I know there are many people who might just feel the urge to murder me (specifically my lovely sisters)...
..... at the thought of me chopping my lovely locks. Yes, folks it's true. I've gone butch. I look like a boy again. I've cut my hair. And when I say cut, I believe the connotation may not be quite strong enough, because I CUT my hair. It's probably shorter than it's been since at least my teenage years, if not childhood. Hehe.... and you see, I'm not a vain, narcissistic person (well, in many ways, I am... but) to write about this in such a way that I think people may be upset, but seriously. I told a few casual acquaintences at school yesterday of my plans, and no one said "good for you... it's time for a change" (because, seriously people... it was).... most responses went something like "::gasp:: NOOOOOOOO!!!! ::touching and bouncing curls::.... I'll never talk to you again!!!!" So, this is why I'm warning you all, before I post a picture. Because I know at least for my dear sister Abbey, the shock could send her into a full-blown stroke.
But... all this being said. I LOVE it. It's easy... I wash it, throw in some pomade or hair wax.... spike it a little and go. The downside..... Walking home last night from the train station my head was FREEEEEEZING. I had no idea how much that huge poof of big 80s hair insulated my head! Due to the spikiness, I'd rather not smash it down with a hat, but it was so cold last night that I don't know... I may just have to.
So stay tuned for a picture. And just remember.... many great hollywood beauties have chopped their locks and still remained beautiful..... Demi Moore, Natalie Portman, the chick who played Felicity, and my personal favourite.... Sarah Jessica Parker. So, just think of me as Carrie (as I often fantasize).... daring to break people's perception of myself. I'm no longer "that kid with the curly, shaggy hair" to those who can't remember my name. Shit... now that means I'll actually have to come up with some semblance of an actual personality for which people can identify me.... hehehe
