Haircut!

I got a haircut today. I am pretty pleased with the results.

For reference, here is what I looked like before:

That's right, just in time for the coming cold, I now have about an eighth of an inch of hair! So far I have only been outside twice since the cut, but it has been pretty cold. Other than that, though, I am really happy with it. I can't seem to stop rubbing my hands over my fuzzy, fuzzy head!

I thought I had more to say about this, but I can't seem to think of it and my mom is waiting for me to post so she can see. But if I think of anything to say besides comments on how fuzzy I am, I will post again.

Also, Raph gave me a webcam because he is wonderful! So everybody be on the lookout for webcam picture posts once I really get the hang of it. Sweet!

If someone had to win a prize for "most (as in quantity and quality) drastic alterations to their hair," I think you might win.

In the meantime, I'll work on my Deeks 'fro and get back to you about maybe considering buzzing it off...

Wait, are you saying some of my hairstyles are less good than others?? :((((

No, I'm kidding. As you can see from the Night of the Living Bangs above, that is definitely the case. As for buzzing, I have to say it feels pretty awesome!

Wow, you're brave. And you pull it off nicely.

Well, it takes a little less bravery when your boyfriend, your mom and you dad all tell you to GO FOR IT, as mine did. Of course, all the other people I mentioned it to thought I was mad, but no worries. And thank you!

You look all hardcore in the first "after" picture, but then you're all "just kidding! i really am a nice girl!"...

Yeah, that's me. I think that sometimes I fool people for about seventeen seconds, but in the end they realize that I am a big softy!

Goodness! Wow. From the girl in front of me in 12th grade calc class with hair down to her waist, I must admit this was unexpected. But cute! Go you!

Heh, yeah. The funny part is, this is actually my second choice in many ways, after having hair that long again. But since I don't have nearly enough patience to wait six years for that, I figured this would be fun instead.

I'm an honest guy, and as an honest guy I have to say I don't like it. But, of course, I still love you, and will likely go all rubby-funfun on it should I see you soon. After all, it's just hair.

Fair enough. Though I bet you'd like it better if you saw it in person--I never feel like photos do a good job of capturing the way I look. Maybe we'll find out over Thanksgiving?

At any rate, it is VERY fun to touch. I have been rubbing my head all evening!

Probably. You're just too adorable for photos no matter what, anyway.

Girls who shave their heads are excellent. So far: Alex, me, you. Maybe some other people. Anyway, we rule.

Yes! Although I skipped the hardcore mohawk stage. :/

What the shit, man.

You are all followers.



Jolady! You look so fantastic. I love it so much, no joke! Every girl should do that at least once, I think. And it's so easy to take care of. :D

Such a follower. But at least it wasn't on purpose...!

And, thank you! I'm really glad I did it--it's fun and exciting as a change, and yes, SO easy. I took my first hairless shower today and my hair was basically dry as soon as I got out!

I know, I was just kidding! I shaved my head when I was sixteenish and last-last May and I don't even think we were e-friends.


Yeah, and you can't stop touching it, of course! And it keeps changing so you can't get bored with it. Let me know when you get into that awkward phase because I have a great hair glue to recommend. teehee

More damage to me. :( I am pretty sure that whoever I go up against will have a tougher skull than mine. I am hoping it won't ever come to that, though!

sweet. i too love the feeling of a fuzzy head (although i'm a bit too chicken to cut off all my hair for that experience)

Thu, Nov. 3rd, 2005 04:26 am (UTC)
[info]suddenleap

You can feel mine! :D I agree, fuzzy heads are great. And I never thought I'd have one of my own!

Holy shit! I want to touch your head.

Every time one of you does this it makes me wish I would have done this at least once when I was younger.

Wow, you seriously look great like that. I don't know many girls that could pull off that short of hair.

Can I come over and rub your head for a while? :)

Thank you! And you can absolutely rub my head, next time you are in Chicago. :)

Wow. I don't really know you, but I was sent here from Raph's journal, and I feel compelled to tell you that this haircut is utterly fantastic. I actually like it a lot better than the "before" picture...not that there was anything wrong with your hair before...but there's just something so right about your hair (or lack thereof) now! I don't really understand how shaved heads grow out, but damn, I just think it's so cool. Um, yeah, that's it.
