hey, you know what? i'm serious about getting my hair cut. i'm sick as fuck of it being long and thick and frizzy and heavy. sometimes i really like it long and it looks pretty, but i never do cool things with it, and most of the time it just hangs there. i've had it like this since i grew out my bangs when i was 15 or so (it's been varying lengths since then, but always straight, center-parted, and all one length, usually long). it's time for a change. i know i've mentioned this before, but this time i'm really serious. i want to look like a hedgehog, or, rather, i want to have versatile hair--sometimes hedgehoggy, sometimes just clean and shaggy, sometimes clipped neatly back with barrettes for work. i want a cute pixie haircut. i just worry that my face (and everything else) is too fat for it to actually look cute, like i'll be that plump girl who tries to make herself look cute by getting a trendy haircut. but i'm working on the weight thing. and i'm getting my hair cut. sarah gave me an awesome gift certificate to Chakras Spa, and i'm going to get a hot stone massage and a facial, and i'm going to spend the leftover money on my hair. when it costs as much as it costs there to get your hair cut by a "designer", you know it ain't Supercuts and they'll do a good jorb. and i'll have jorn take pictures right there in the salon, so that the next time i get my hair cut, i'll have pictures to show what it's supposed to look like.
possibly, i will also dye it red. or blonde. i feel like with my hair long, i can't dye it, because when the dye grows out there's nasty roots an' shit. and with long hair, then you have to keep dying it to make it look right, and it gets all damaged. but with short hair, you can just cut off the dyed part when it grows out and start over! i liked the short-and-red thing i had going in college for a while.
also, i'm still thinking about getting a tattoo. have i talked about this before? i want one of my teddy bear, because he's like the only thing that been consistently awesome in my life (except, like, my mom, but she's not as cute as Bear). i think a little Bear tattoo would be super cute--he's a panda and he's the sweetest thing ever. i would get it somewhere on my upper left torso or arm, because that's the arm i hug him with when i fall asleep--i was thinking either just below my collarbone in that nook on my shoulder there, or else on the inside of my upper left arm. i'm hesitant about getting anything on my breast, because, well, breasts change over time; i'm also a little hesitant about the shoulder idea, because that's not as easily hidable in, for example, a strappy dress. the arm tattoo would be easily hidable AND easily show-offable. i've been thinking about this for like a year and i'm thinking i want to do it. and i should do it in the summer, when i can really show it off. ditto for the hair--it would be silly to get it all cut off in the winter.
what do y'all think? about the hair or the tattoo?

i think you'd be super-cute with a cute pixie cut. and i'm SURE you're not as fat as you seem to think you are, so don't worry about that. and maybe with a really hot looking hair cut, you'll feel better about the way you look. it is amazing what a short hair cut can do for self confidence...
go for it, girl! i'm sure it'll be adorable.

You did.)... And yeah, I totally want you to get your hair cut, even though I love your beautiful hair. And get the tattoo. I want to come with you and see it done to someone else.
C. Maybe I'll dye my hair with you but I'm not sure.
D. You are not fat. You do not have a fat face. And if you think so, you're whacked.

Date: 2003-06-10 06:39 am (UTC)From:B. i'll try to make sure you can come along for the tattooing, but if i do decide to get it done, it'll probably be very spur-of-the-moment, so i might not be able to find you. just be prepared for that.
C. we'll have a group hair-dying event, it'll be fun.
D. i didn't mean that i was specifically fat, just that i am fatter than i used to be. which is true. i weigh more now than i ever have before (or, rather, i did last week--i weighed myself at the gym yesterday and i think i lost a few pounds). and when you weigh more than you ever have before, you can't help feeling large, even if you don't look all that large.

C. Still not sure. I'll watch you do it, though.
D. I know what you mean. But you're just so damn beautiful, I can't help arguing.

Date: 2003-06-10 08:45 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)On the tattoo thing: I recommend that you go somewhere recommended. I have been to Straight A in Asheboro and they are nice folks (I worked with a guy who used to ink with 'em) and reasonably priced. Getting a tattoo on the inside of your upper arm would be painful as fuck. It's a sensitive area (notice a lot of people have armbands done that don't go all the way around their arms for this reason). And I'm not sure how it would look either - because it would be visible with short sleeves, and since it's on the inside it might just look like a smudge, at a glance, instead of a tattoo. I agree about the breasts, not a great place for a tattoo. It could go from a panda bear to a mongoose over the years...
Good luck with your new looks!
See you soon!
