Correction (oh hai! i’m in ur commentz, pretendin theyre chatz!): You did not comment on that entry, Kip, but I’m pretty sure you commented in email or elsewhere. I remember you saying something like, “Those pics were great, I forgot how cute short hair is on you.” So there!

There were pictures, Kip. You even commented on the pictures. :P They're down now, because I deleted everything from bitterdiatribe in preparation for a WordPress install (... hah), but I'm pretty sure that post will jog your memory.

Ugh, oh God, I’m going to have to chop it off, aren’t I? Sara, between you and Jesse, the pressure’s almost unbearable. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to wait for Hair Thursday but I’ll try.

I don’t know. Short hair just scares me. I’m completely convinced that the only reason people don’t think my face is fat is that I always hide behind big, long hair. And you know how the longer a delusion exists, the harder it is to escape it? I totally do want to do something Audrey Hepburn or Natalie Portman-esque, maybe Keira in Domino but OMG the fear.

Not to mega-comment or anything, but ‘rawr, if this clip you got a ~year ago was so much fun, how come there weren’t pics? or was that just one of the times you were netless?

And it’s kind of sad that I expect my hair to do that for me.

[thunderstruck] you have something that quick and cheap that will accomplish that for you, and you’re sad? that’s not sad, it’s brilliant. I should send you the $25, except you’d spend it on groceries.

and I totally agree about lee-sha’s inner pixie. Tinkerbell by way of Derrida.

Not to mega-comment or anything, but the more I think about you with a sleek, Hepburn-style pixie cut, the more I think I love it. Hmmm.

Dude, Alicia, I totally know what you mean. My last haircut didn’t do all that, but it came damn close — I felt abuot 500% cuter and more confident when I had it. Now I am back to feeling a) shleppy, b) fat, and c) out-of-touch. I miss my supercute, I’m-so-hip, self-esteem-repairing cut! And it’s kind of sad that I expect my hair to do that for me. Sigh.

I bet with Whoorl styling you, though, YOUR hair will do that. :P

Kip, I wasn’t talking about the cut I got in CA (which was short, but not wispy — and cute, but not much fun). I was referring to the cut I got last… August? I think — in any case, the one Shae prodded me into. I loved it, and if I ever have $25 again in my life I’ll probably get it again. Short and wispy is tons of fun.

I think my agony over my hair is that I want more than a haircut. I want my hair to be so fabulous that it erases all of my other issues with myself and my appearance. I want my hair to basically be the equivalent of the years of good, productive therapy that I never want to go through. I want my hair to help me complete the mental journey from ugly duckling to beautiful swan.

And a haircut can’t do that. I know, I know. It’s just not possible. But, since I can’t have that, I would like a haircut that will come as close as possible which is why I am agonizing.
