Haircuts and Mannequins
I get the feeling that all my entries are merely old rants rehashed. Anyone? Anyone? Yeah.
In other news, I got my hair done! This is not a big deal for normal people, but I'm crazy... And aside from that, I haven't cut my hair in like three years. Because people totally suck and wouldn't shut up about my eating habits I was feeling really ugly and disgusting by the end of the day.
Why does everyone who sees a morsel of food enter my mouth feel the need to comment on it?!? I got a mini pizza and a salad for lunch and was so hungry I charged through the salad in like ten minutes... Immediately all coworkers in the vicinity, even my manager, started jibing about how much I was eating, how either I was going to balloon or else must be purging what I eat. I HATE EVERYONE. Actually, after I'd had half the pizza and couldn't stand any more of it I lost it. Said something to the effect of, "Look, you have no right commenting about my eating habits. You have no idea about my history, you don't know if maybe I do have food issues, if maybe I was hospitalized three times last year. So back the f- off."
I wouldn't recommend that as the most polite, poised way of handling situations like that, but it did work.
When I got off early from work I wandered around the mall for a while, talked on the phone to Crystal some, saw all the mannequins in the windows and cried like a lameass, and wandered more. I've been thinking about getting my hair cut for a while now and got the idea to use my extra time to go to the salon. It was actually a really good decision.
I'm of the opinion that few things feel so good as getting your hair done. I mean seriously, isn't it just awesome to have someone play with your hair? And then the shampoo-y thingy and the little shower head thingy all sheurhohgshhhh, it's just awesome.
Watching her go snip, snip, snip as six inches of my hair fell to the floor was extremely unnerving, though.
...Mmkay, I was going to conclude with a picture but can't seem to find my bluetooth device (so that I can get said picture from my phone to the comp) sooo... Yeah.
In conclusion, yay haircuts. It was an awesome way to feel better physically, get some innocent compliments (is saying nice things about your client's hair part of the job description?), and feel better about myself without doing something crazy or triggery. I think everyone should go get their hairstyled just for the hell of it. Yep.

I like to think of haircuts as redefinitions of myself. I try to save the big ones for Locks of Love - I've given twice since high school :)
(I wanted to try to post before and afters here, but the CD that the pictures are on is making my CD-ROM drive very unhappy :/ )
What are the odds? I'm getting my hair cut on friday! :D I'm pretty much addicted to it. Kind of bad, since I really want long thick hair. But I get an overhanging urge to cut it all of atleast three or four times a year.. yeap! I love it!
And those guys at your work should be ashamed of themself. You don't say that kind of things, even as a joke. You never know what you might start off.. Grrrr...
Done with your letter now.. Just need to send it off.. On friday probably.. I'm sick and lazy!
Love/ siri
