hair.

i keep getting comments about my hair.

comments such as:  i can't believe you cut your hair! (then, as an afterthought) it looks great!
then there is:  OH MY GOSH YOUR HAIR IS ADORABLE!!!
then maybe:  its so short!  how did you do it?? i could never cut all MY hair off.
**side note: my answer to that question is, of course: "I let my 22 year old heterosexual brother with no prior experience cut my hair."

some people actually grieve the lengths of hair that i cut off.

it went from this:

to this:

in a matter of a few months while i was gone. grieve away people!  i'm happy as a clam. although who thought clams were happy? sometimes when i look at pictures i miss all my hair...but then i think of the painful hours of blowdrying in utah so my hair wouldn't freeze as i walked to class in the early mornings...and i have absolutely no regrets.  less hair, less problem, less annoyance, MORE SLEEP!  (which is huge when it comes to being in utah.)  

its almost like getting a restraining order against an abusive ex...i am FREE.
