Day 8: Hair

[cjsmith]

I have short hair now. (Yes, everybody who keeps telling me what I should do, I did donate to Locks of Love.)

Need new user icons.

Also, a New England reminder: I forgot the noises a whole lakeful of ice can make. I'd never have thought to describe it when I lived here, but now that I've been away I recognize it as something I don't hear in California.

Wow! It will be a time saver. And someone out there will thank you for the wig :)

HOLY COW!!!! and congratulations on the hair/life change thing. you're spunky now... i'm not sure that's *quite* the right sentiment... but it is cute.

omigawd!!!! *squeals*

i can't believe you finally did it!! do you feel naked? did you get a huge headache just after the cut?

i love the new 'do! it makes you look so grown-up! *musses up your hair because i can* hurry back to where it's warm-ish, and go for a ride in a convertable! then go swimming! and then marvel at how quickly your hair dries. and how little shampoo you need!

and thank you for donating your hair. i know your hair will (help) make a beautiful wig for a child that needs it.

Aieee!!!

You're still cute, even with short hair. :)

I think this is my favorite pic of the new hair.

Another cool thing to do on a frozen lake:

Chuck a heavy coin (like a nickel) onto the frozen lake. It will make the best sounds *EVER*

Along with the new hair, are you gonna do the whole clothes/furniture/make-up Queer Eye thing?

I remember when I cut my hair short (It was about your long-length at one time). It felt *so* good to just "let it go".

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

agreed!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

It took me twenty minutes to fluff it up this morning, and I'll have to get it cut every six weeks. Time saver, sadly, I think it ain't. But I can swim.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Still in shock. I didn't want to do it, but if the ONLY exercise I can do is swimming...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! And yeah, she's the good looking one.

No headache, but I still catch myself reaching to move it out of the way.

I poured out too much shampoo this morning -- even though I'd been warned!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like that one best too.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oooo, I gotta try that!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

even with

Ouch! Well, glad I'm "still cute" I guess.

[just-cyd.livejournal.com]

i think i spent a month reaching for my phantom mane. only took a couple days to adjust the shampoo, though.

has is sunk in yet, what you've done?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I'd like to, but I suspect it would take more time and effort than I'd want to give it.

I'm still conflicted about it. Sadly, I must swim. It's the only form of exercise I can do fully.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm still conflicted about it. I wish I hadn't had to. But I must exercise, and that means I must swim.

[just-cyd.livejournal.com]

and swimming is your only real option due to your feet. damn them. *hugs*

give yourself time to mourn this loss as well as all the others you've had. you're allowed to be angry about having to cut your hair, as long as you can move beyond it eventually (or at least that's what people keep telling me. it's easier for me to just stay mad)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

You're exactly right -- it's yet another loss. I try to make the best of it in public, but yeah, grump.

[kimatha.livejournal.com]

It's super cute! I wish I looked that good with short hair.
