Title: Way OT -- It Was Getting Kinda Long...
Post by: glynor on November 27, 2007, 09:08:07 am
Much to David Crosby's dismay, I actually did cut my hair this weekend (on Saturday if anyone is counting, though if you are I'm a little afraid)...  It's still longish.  Medium length I suppose.  I wanted it just at shoulder length, but since my hair is very "spirally" (curly and wavy) it springs up a bunch when it dries and the hair stylists always underestimate how much it will "spring", so it's a bit above the shoulder now.  I had been considering it for a couple of weeks, but was never sure... Then Saturday morning I woke up and just decided and did it on a whim.  Must have been remnants from the wine on Thursday night...   ;)

They took off about a foot (about 30.5cm for those of you with a rational measurement system), which I donated to Locks of Love (http://locksoflove.org/) which is nice.

It is really quite a change.  I've had long hair for about 12 years solid now.  My hair grows absurdly fast, and I likely won't cut it again for a while... But still... Big changes are always bittersweet.

Just wondering, since "tis the season".  Anyone else making any major personal changes they'd like to share?

Funny story.  John Gateley here went through a similar transformation.  He still looks like a geek though.  The white socks and sandals give him away.

I'm trying to buy back KingSparta's Yugo.

Don't take any guff from them John!  White socks and sandals will be cool..... Eventually.  They'll see.

I just recently cut mine as well.  Not quite as long as yours was but it definitely feels and looks weird when you go from shoulder length to above shoulder length.  Give it a few days and you'll get comfortable with it.
