Happy Haircut.... er, I mean New Year!
For many many years now I have had long hair; it's quite thick, brown hair with a slight wave - the shortest it has been since I was 17 was shoulder length, ignoring the #2 undercut I had for a while at school.
For all of my 20's it was half way down my back, and at its longest I could just about sit on it.
The last 5 years it has been the shortest, at shoulder length/pony tail thing, with the 2010 addition of a scruffy, patchy jeebus beard, and moustache; the last year of single life has not been conducive to regular shaving, so I didn't really bother, other than the occasional run with the clippers to tidy things up a little.
Well.. I've been banging on to friends and family for ages about getting it cut into a low maintenance thing. So, this morning I got up, had a cuppa and prepared myself...
One hour later, having just about killed my cheappo clippers to death, I find my powers strangely undiminished, as I sit here with a #4 all-over haircut. :eek:
That's about 12mm.
New Year's Resolutions; erm, well...
- put the detritus of last year behind me (work in progress)
- have a proper shave (not quite yet, I'll dust off the double edged safety razor, badger hair brush, and think about it)
- Haircut (check)
So, 2011 hasn't really started yet and already I'm ahead of the game :p2:
I gotta say though, it feels really ******* weird having no hair hehe.
I don't quite resemble 'action man', from the late 70's early 80's, yet - I can sort of do the 'eagle eyes' thing, but I'm all out of blue y-fronts. :haha:
Sometimes a change is good for its own sake, so what better time of year to embrace it?
Not sure if I'll keep it short now or not. Having pressed the 'reset button' on my hair, I'll just have to see how I "grow into it" *groan* for the rest of january.
All the best to all of you here at subsim for the rest of this year; and whether you had a good year, or a bad one, here's to a better year than the last :up:
now, I'm off to find something to keep my head warm lol
