I'm no Samson.

So there I was, standing in front of the bathroom mirror just now, my electric hair clipper in hand.  I've been feeling frustrated with my hair lately - or maybe it's just frustration in general and I'm choosing to lay the blame in the most ridiculous of places - and I thought that I'd just hack it all of again, start anew.  Change is good, right

Thanks for taking the time to write. And of course, you're free to (dis)agree as you see fit - you're among friends here. :-)

And thank-you for the heady compliments! I'm blushing here. I do find that good clothing can do wonders for my self-esteem and do try to dress as well as I can. As far as how I would look regardless of my size, I had lost something in the neighbourhood of 50 pounds or more about 5 years back; instead of receiving many compliments, I had many friends come up to me and ask me if I was okay (a co-worker recently told me that she had seen pictures of me on-line from that time, and seriously thought that I looked like a cancer patient).

I'm also leaning more towards removing the hair. It grows back, and maybe a symbolic starting over is in order here.

I happen to like you with longer-than-buzzed hair. But it's your call.

You mean you won't like me if I buzz my hair off? ;-p

I'm just feeling frustrated with it: it's getting in the way of everything, it breaks so ridiculously easily and I'm leaving hairs everywhere - not good. I wonder how grey it will look once it comes off?
