so i was really grumpy this morning. see, i got my haircut yesterday, and i'm always so HAPPY when i get my hair cut, because linda is the best ever and it always looks awesome when i leave the salon and i'm all looking in shop windows at how cute i am the whole way home. but i always forget about the post-haircut crash, which happens the very next morning after the haircut, when i get out of the shower and attempt to style the aforementioned hair. because inevitably, i cannot recreate the look that the fabulous linda achieved. what i achieve is significantly poofier, fuzzier, and overall ridiculous-looking in comparison to the way i looked when i left the salon. (a lot of you might remember the first time this happened last fall.) this situation always makes me want to shave my head or stab myself or something and i get all frustrated and depressed and i really freak jorn out.
so yeah, that was this morning. but i made a goddamn decision. see, part of my styling ish is that i need to dry my hair in the bathroom, because there's nowhere else in the house for me to do it. the mirror in my room is on the other side of the room from the one single plug, so i can't do it there. and ordinarily the bathroom is fine, but after my shower and jorn's, it get incredibly steamy in there. my hair does not react well to humidity, especially now that it's short. so i think this is making a substantial contribution to the poofiness. in fact, i was near tears looking at it in the bathroom this morning, but then went into my room and ten minutes later it was a lot less big. also, my hair dryer is a good 20 years old. i know that advances have been made in hair drying technology since then. so what i am going to do is purchase a new, smaller mirror to hang on the wall above the goddamned one single plug in my room, so that i'll be able to dry my hair in my room instead of in the steamy bathroom. and i'm going to get a new hairdryer.
you might say, now rox, why didn't it occur to you to do these things months ago when you first started crying over your stupid hair? and my reply to that is, because i'm a big moronhead.
and then when i left the house, it was all raining and gross, which never puts me in a good mood, and today it was worse because i was thinking about how Fun it'll be to drive to PA in all this rain and how Fun it'll be to check the oil in my car in the rain, and i think we can all imagine how my hair looks after it's been *rained on* when we know already how poofy it gets just in a steamy bathroom. so i'm grumping my way to work, and then i notice it: there is grass growing. see, all over harvard the grounds have been bleak and brown and bare for ages, and a few weeks ago they put down this hideous green grass seed everywhere, but there had been no results. until today, when i saw grass sprouting everywhere. so there's the true meaning of Earth Day for y'all: the rain might make your hair look like shit, but it makes the grass grow. don't we all feel uplifted now?
...
i'm still grumpy. oh well.

Date: 2004-04-23 08:36 am (UTC)From:i think though that it's a combination of her being really good at what she does and having years of practice at it (while i've had short hair less than a year), and the fact that she's got better range than i do--she can look at my head sitting in front of her and can see what she's doing to it, while i don't really have that option. i find it hard to duplicate some of her movements because my arms are of necessity below my head. i am getting better, though, and i might ask her some other things next time i go.
