Well, that was unexpected.

Well, that’s better. I can take care of that little poky bit at the back and we’re all good! This is the most modern haircut I’ve had in 20 years. I started out alternating between hating it and loving it, but now I think I’ve settled on “really like it.” God knows it’s a damn sight better than it was when I walked in.

I walked out with a jar of Italian hair goop called Actyva Mania Glam. I’m pretty sure it contains equal parts of Gak and grape bubble gum. (By the way, making your own Gak is a fun activity for kids or bored adults.)

It turns out the new girl, who has more energy than a caffeinated Chihuahua, went to my high school. She was a sophomore there while I was a senior. So we reminisced about old times. I had forgotten the last names, and even first names, of an appalling number of folks. We were a couple of years apart, though, so probably didn’t run with the same crowd. She was apparently much more of a partyer than I was. Still, we talked about girls we’d had crushes on, and who was doing what now. I’m obviously settled and married now, and that did come up, but I think she may have thought I was a little wilder than I actually am, and maybe played a little looser with the razor as a result. Eh, I’m happy. We’ll see if it’s still holding up tomorrow.

    Oh, CUTE! I really really like that cut. I lust after short hair, but since my head looks like a potato I can’t carry it off.

    The Davy Jones picture will never stop being funny though.

    I think it’s super cute. I used to have that hair cut in college, but going in to the business world I had to decide between removing excessive ear piercings or growing out hair, and decided on the latter. I kind of miss my punky do.

    Girls you’d had crushes on? Did I miss something very important?

    If you mean “mis-spent” in the sense of spent doing boring things instead of living it up, then you’re spot on! 🙂
