Long hair is a bitch in the summer. It's like wearing a blanket on your head.
That said, I think I'm regretting th decision already. It's subtly thrown off my balance. I can't see a long haired guy in the street without getting the feeling I've somehow sold out. I keep going to brush it out of my face then realising it's not there.
And I think I look like a git.
Plus there is now no aspect of my appearance that marks me as the "other" in polite society. I might have to get a piercing or something to make up for it.
Also, I look like five years younger (I shaved too). I don't know if that's good or bad.
My dad always used to say, "The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about three weeks." It just takes a while to grow out of its choppiness, and for you and everyone else to get used to it. It'll be grouse soon.
Yes. Yes it does. I've lost both my super-knottiness and super-split endedness. Also, I can no longer use the patented "tortured artist hair rub" to unleash a Dragon Ball Z like explosion of creative energy.
iii) You are most certainly right, but is that really a good thing? Because if that was all it took, then the reverse would have to be true as well, and all boring people would need to change their lives and make themselves interesting would be some sort of "wacky" hairdo, which would be great because then there wouldn't be any boring people, and probably a much lower level of depression generally. Unless the government tried to make wackiness illegal, which they probably would, or at least tax it so that only rich people could afford to be interesting. Okay, that would be bad. And say that there were no laws obstructing interesting haircutness, even that would throw up the paradox where you could be a true individual, and hence intrinsically interesting, by purposefully being as boring as possible. So...yes, it is a good thing. Okay, good.
