NB this is not real life, im drunk and very tired.
Alright, I’ve just watched the L word (the one where she gets a hair
cut) and I was really pleased that I’d taped it because that
documentary maker guy moved in and was trying to put his finger on the
girls ‘gayness’. I need some gay. Because people just don’t know. I was
happy that ‘gayness’ was about to be explained to me but then it
wasn’t!! it didn’t get explained, oh no. SHE GOT A FUCKING HAIRCUT.
This is most unhelpful as my ‘fro gets me drinks, picks me up on a
downer day and gets me tips worth over an hours work. I can’t shear it
off. I really really can’t. As much as I want to go get a boy cut, I
suspect that once I move to London it’ll be half my goddamn livelihood.
This is crap! Did you know that I now think of my hair as an entirely
separate being nowadays? It has its own personality, it flirts, it
pisses people off and most of all it gets talked to. By seemingly sane
people. I see them muttering at me and I say “Sorry, were you talking
to me?” and they say “Oh, no, I was just admiring your hair.”
I now have to compete with my hair for peoples attention.
That is so wrong.
