Hair Cut @ MindSay

i got a spray tan today, and i got my hair cut!!
it's such a shock. i haven't had my hair this short since i was little. i grew it out in 8th grade and it's stayed at relatively the same length since.
well. till now.
i'm imagining it's going to take some getting used to, but i like it. :D

I cut my hair. :(

This morning I finally had the opportunity to get my hair cut.  I was supposed to have a parent-teacher conference, which was postponed.  I've had long hair since 10th grade.  It's thick, luscious, and wavy.  It has been electric pink and had blonde tiger stripe highlights.  It's most often worn in a ponytail, but occasionally in a braid or two.  It used to be in layers, but I gave that up years ago.  When people describe me, it's always "socKs, with the really long hair." 

Because it's all one length, it's fairly low maintenance, with the exception of getting out knots.  But I also tend to forget to get it cut.  Which sounds odd, but since it's not "styled" I don't remember to go get regular trims to keep the ends neat.  I generally know it's time to get it cut when it starts to bother me.  Today was that time.

So instead of going back to the preschool, I ran into my local Hair Cuttery.  I would like to donate my hair to either Locks of Love or Pantene's Beautiful Lengths programs, but the bottom still has the end of my tiger stripe highlights and lots of split ends.  So she would of needed to cut off 12" to make up for that. and it would have ended up shoulder length.  Instead, I showed her where I wanted it cut up to, and into a pony tail it went, and off it came.  I ended up getting about 7" cut off, which of course Shiny would say "I'd be bald!", and it still is longer than most people.  But it feels lighter, looks better, and I'd be surprised if most people even notice for a good month or so.

I'd still like to go into a salon and say "Do whatever you want, as long as I look professional for work"  and just see what they'd do with this blank canvas.  But I think baby steps are good for now!

It's still raining in Binghamton. It's been raining all day. It's been raining since it was light enough out to see. And it's been cold, so said rain is turning to ice. It's the kind of cold that penetrates to your bones and kind of sticks there. It's the kind of cold you can't get rid of for days, the kind that makes you shiver in summer when you think about it. Stupid, icky, wet, cold, icy Binghamton. Boo.

I forgot to mention in my last post that I cut my hair when I went home last weekend. It was down to my shoulder blades, but now it's up to the nape of my neck. I loved it at first, then I hated it, and now I'm kind of in the middle. I just think it takes getting used to. I haven't had my hair this short in a long time. It's kind of hard to work with but definitely easier to maintain than the fop I was sporting before. It's kind of nice, not having long hair.

I have to venture out into the stupid, icky, wet, cold iciness of BU to go to a experiment later. I'm taking Psychology 111, so I have to fulfill a research requirement to get credit for the course. Being in an experiment is a hell of a lot easier than writing a paper. It also requires less thought, and the less thought the better. I have other stuff that I need to be thinking about. All my experiments are scheduled and I should have my research requirement fulfilled by spring break. That'll be a huge load off, knowing that everything in that department is done. I only have my experiments, a paper, and one more test to worry about before I can go home on break and relax for ten days. I won't have to even think about school if I don't want to (well, maybe about one paper, but I doubt that).

I've definitely been wasting time today. After my psych test, I felt entitled to relax seeing how I studied like mad crazy for it all day yesterday. I think I did decently, and so I rewarded myself by playing the Sims 2 for... oh, three hours. What a waste of life, I am. Well, waste of life or not, the span of time between the test and the discovery of your grade is the most relaxed, the most carefree. You haven't been murdered by numbers yet, so everything in the world is all well and good.

My best friend from home will hopefully be here to visit all next weekend. :) Excitement. She'll be here between a paper and a test, so it's definitely a good time to for her to visit. I miss her a lot so I'm really happy she took a couple days off and decided to come and visit. Hopefully, Ally, Theo, and Caroline will all be here that weekend, so we can chill. The three of them still have to take me to the bubble tea place since I didn't go last weekend.

Masquerade ball's in a few days and the parentals mailed my costume, so my crisis from last night (not having anything to wear) has been averted. My roommates all think I'm crazy for wearing my pirate costume; a good crazy, they say, but now I'm a little unsure. Oh well. I'll just have to go and find out. Worst comes to worst, I can leave early. Admission is only $6.

I'm out for now. I'm just waiting for the girls to call, then I'm going to dinner. I'm pretty excited about getting a handmade burrito...

yes, today i cut my hair short..its now into a bob. I did it all by myself to:) haha im proud:) it took me 2 hours to complete, but i think it was worth it. above is a pic of me,and a pic of all my hair that i cut off.
