vanity, oh vanity
So after talking about it forever...I chopped off my hair last Saturday. It had gotten really long; and of course, the week before cutting it (*after* making the appt.) I kept thinking "oh, maybe I really like how it's so long." But I took a chance. I mean the timing is perfect...this summer I'll mostly be working with kids anyhow.
Somedays I like the cuteness. Other days I miss it...I don't feel pretty.
See I would like it better if the girl had cut the back to match the front more. Maybe I described it wrong to her...maybe she made a mistake. 1) It's shorter than I had wanted (ugh), 2) the front is okay, but there's this part in the back that I hate...it's shorter than it should be...ick...it's the type of short haircut (in the back) that I can't stand (even though Elyse, Dad, and Adrina like it). I've been told I look older...cute...but I miss pretty. I keep looking for reassurance but seem to not be getting a ton. But I like my bangs...she always cuts those well.
However, I had forgotten that graduation is coming up (tomorrow actually), and that means seeing alumni...and as vain as this sounds you know how when you go back to see old classmates you want to look your best - like you've improved somehow? Yeah. I'm really nervous that there will be some comments (behind my back, of course) like this: "oh my gosh, her hair is short. ew...why'd she do that?" Oh, and I haven't yet gotten this but I'm dreading the day someone says "wow, you look so much more like your mom!" - not because I don't like how my mom looks, but because I like to be me.
Ah, well, enough of this narcissistic entry.
