Maybe I'll get my hair cut short after all.
I do like letting my hair down, but it is a hassle.
It's also because I'm really bad about handling unwanted sexual attention, usually the moment is past by the time I got over my shock...OR, it's a 'joke by an authority figure'. When I have short hair, back when I was often mistaken as a dude, I do get sexually harassed less (even after they know I'm a woman). Not their type? Always somebody's type. Back on the Halloween when I had short hair and I went a a zombie, somebody still sexually harassed me because I was out alone and I'm Asian and a woman.
...and with the bad economy, I have to be more aggressive about the job search, which include waitressing, which will have, harassment, it's bad enough the time I worked at this new fast food place, and the boss 'joked' about me and a co-worker going out front in shorts skirts. To add injury to insult, me and everyone else was fired within two weeks and I was missing two day's pay. In hindsight, it was shady all the way, people were always coming up to talk to the boss, I think it was the people fired from before...also missing their pay. I was at a worse period in my life than and I just, let it go (I didn't do anything about it).
My parents always ask why I can't be as outgoing as my brother, which is not fair when they limit me more. He could always stay out after 12am, I shouldn't even be out after dark, which again, leads to trouble finding work compared to my brother.
...and speaking of unwanted attention, I'm a woman, I feel like a woman, but I also feel like things would be easier if I was a man, since I have so many male interests anyways. That, and my attraction to women, meant that I had more guy friends than female friends, but it always end with the awkward attention from the guy friend.
