I cut my hair today. Watching that first snip is always a traumatic moment for me. See, I've been growing it out for quite a few months now, trying to get it long again, but the layers were so wrong that I just had to have something done to it. I saw a picture of Nicole Richie's new haircut, with the swoopy bangs and the short, under the chin hair, and that's what I had done. It looks pretty good, I think, but it's weird having my hair gone. Of course, it wasn't really that long before, they just took off about three or so inches.
As always, I didn't tell anyone before I had it cut. There's just something about watching everyone's reactions when you do something no one would expect... what can I say, I'm addicted to shocking people. One of these days, it's probably going to get me into trouble, but in the meantime I have fun with it. It was for the same reason that I didn't tell any of my frends when I got my driver's license, choosing instead to wait until it came up naturally in the conversation and let it slip, and why I didn't tell anyone when I chopped off my hair freshmen year. It was down to the middle of my back, and I adored it. But, again, no one thought I would, so I did. I also didn't tell my friends that I was asked to prom for mostly the same reason--well, that and the fact that I just didn't want to.
As far as I'm concerned, friends and guys need to be completely seperate. I don't want my boyfrend to be buddy buddy with my best friend, because it causes way too much drama. And I might ask for my friends' opinion on a guy every once in a while, but I rarely take their advice. At least not unless I 100% agree. Wrong? Maybe, but oh well. It's the way I do things.
So tonight I've got this orientation for new students starting at 7:15. I helped out with it last year, and it was pretty fun to tell the truth. Basically, they just get some students to talk about the school and hang out with the new kids and make them feel more comfortable. Not sure if it actually works, but oh well. And plus, I need to be advertising for the school paper. We are so insanely low on people it's not even funny. If we don't bring anyone new onto staff this year, we are screwed. We're going to lose half our writers after graduation, and considering we only have about 16 in the first place, that's a very, very bad thing.
Maddie's having a party tonight too, but it starts at 7:00 and I've already committed to this orientation. I told her I'd try to drop by after it ends, or leave early or somethiing. I really do want to go.
I better go get ready though, so adios!
