The Mane Event
Okay, don't be shocked. Especially folk that have known me for a while, like siliconivy.
So, I got my hair cut. It's a bit different. Here, let's just get it out of the way, shall we?
No, don't worry, it's not a mid-life crisis, or some dementia left over from Otakon. I just felt like a change, and simalyce had also expressed some interest in shorter hair. Yes, I'm a sucker when it comes to her. Don't worry, it was my choice.
Maria, our hairstylist, has been dying to cut my hair shorter for a while now, and took a great deal of delight in cutting off my ponytail. We kept it...
I've had my ponytail for several years. I can't really say why I grew it in the first place. I'd like to say that it was some kind of rebellion, but like my beard, it was mostly born out of laziness. My hair had been getting long, it was summer, and it wasn't convenient for me to get my hair cut. So I pulled it back into a ponytail. I liked it so I just let it grow long. I've gotten it trimmed and cleaned up since then, but it's remained more or less long, getting longer as time went on.
Lately, I'd been starting to get tired of dealing with the length, getting my hair caught in things, the frizz. And simalyce liked how my hair looked in older pictures of me with shorter hair. How could I resist the change?
I like the new haircut. Bye-bye, ponytail. You'll be missed.
