I cut my hair again. It's not pretty.
And as we've gathered,if my hair isn't pretty... I'M not pretty.


It’s no shorter than it was, really, but it’s layered. It’s REALLY different. Although I wanted different, I didn’t really mean for it to be wispily layered, but it is. I wanted chunks of hair. I guess that won’t happen. And I so trusted that hairdresser, too!


So I decided to take some pictures to see if I liked it, and get opinions. No one of real importance has seen it yet; and I’m going slightly crazy because I really can’t decide if I like the damn haircut. It’s kind of late now, but hey there ya go, that’s me.


When I started seeing the pictures, I began to come to the conclusion that I don’t like it. That I almost, in fact, hate it. It looks like a bad 80’s cut gone wrong, or an overgrown mullet. Or a giant mushroom cloud.


I got in the shower to see if I could do anything with it wet.


I still didn’t like it.


So I took the scissors to it. I cut shorter bangs. I cut a few haphazard chunks into the shorter layers.


And then I still didn’t like it.


I kept trying to. No matter how I moved or looked at it, I didn’t like it. It’s a stupid goddamn haircut.


And then I cried.


And then, after I stopped feeling sorry for myself, I tried accessories. If I had a curling iron or some gel or something I might have even tried that.


And I still don’t like it. Just look at how much it sucks!


But maybe I don’t hate it? It's kinda cute here. Please tell me I shouldn’t hate it? Am I going to have to actually DO MY HAIR now? I hate that thought.


Maybe just a side part is the answer (and the whole front-behind-my-ears thing). Or maybe I just have to stay in low-lighting from now on.


This fucking sucks. And I thought for sure that this time I wouldn’t care about the haircut (and I didn’t) and that it would be just fine (and it’s not) and that if it wasn’t fine then it would just grow out (and it will).

I need your opinions.


(and yes, i’m naked. it’s HOT. stay focused, here!)
