Forgot to tell y'all that I cut my hair. I chopped off eight inches, so it just brushes my shoulders now. I LOVE it. I also decided that it's my "let go" haircut, since I hadn't had a haircut since right before I broke up with Nick (man, that was EONS ago--no really, that was like eighteen months ago), and there are many many MANY things in the last eighteen months I should have let go of.

Anyway, I think it's working, because last night I had a dream about someone other than you-know-who, and while it was sort of disturbing to have a sex dream about one of my Yale friends (in whom I am not actually interested), even in the dream I realized that it wasn't you-know-who and was ecstatic.
So ha! Take that, subconscious. I win.

And now, um, I'm gonna be late to meet with my second rotation PI. More later.

Check out this article (it is really interesting and I would be interested in your thoughts):

Yes, the big chop-off can be so cathartic! Totally know what you mean about the dream - whenever that happens to me I feel all uncomfortable around the person in the dream for a few days, like I have some secret knowledge about them :)

Indeed. :-P
Boys do it too, though, which no one ever seems to notice...

Hehe, yeah. I saw him this morning when I stopped by his lab, and felt totally awkward. :-P

Oh man. I agree with it, totally. But I do think it's a little strong. I mean, sure, sometimes when a woman chops off all her hair, it's a huge emotional thing.

Sometimes she's just sick of using so much conditioner. Really.

P.S. I totally didn't realize that this was something women did, until I chopped off ten or twelve inches in August 2005. I got back to Santa Cruz (I'd chopped it on vacation), and one of my classmates said, "What happened, did you just break up with someone?" I said, "No... why?" and she explained it to me. I laughed and said my relationship was fine.
Two weeks later I dumped Nick.

And when I broke up with Jamie, he cut off all his own hair. I think that was the saddest moment of my life; seeing him with his hand-chopped hair. It broke my heart.

So yeah, this haircut for me is definitely about trying to let go. It's time. I have to move on.
And I feel a lot better.

Also, I don't have a camera.

I could scan my head....

Wow. I laughed at that for like 15 seconds. That was really amusing. :)

Definitely. I agree that women can change hair styles and have it be something that isn't super duper crazy. The context of the article is that it was written by an extremely intelligent relationship columnist (the rest of her site www.andtheylivedhappilyeverafter.com is really really great) for a relationship context. So given that context...I figured it was a pretty fair thing to tell men to "watch out" if that happened randomly (cause most women give a bit more advance notice than the Britney Spears-esque head shave on a whim).

I know I shouldn't laugh...by the phrase "hand chopped hair" just totally made me chuckle.

Lol.

Nice talkin' to you, Ms. Kara :)

Heh. For boys' haircuts to be noticeably associated with their relationship status, they would have to break up every few weeks.

Well, I suppose that's true for most boys. But I tend to date boys with long hair. So they're more likely to have drastic reactions with respect to hair in response to breakups.

You have sex dreams about Voldemort???

I guess we have pretty different tastes in guys, but I think you're going a bit too far on this one, Kara...

Well, sometimes I think he just needed to be loved. And he did have the tall, dark, mysterious thing going on....

Haha, when I was like 14 and at creative writing camp, I wrote a story in which the girl protagonist got a haircut when thinking of dumping her boyfriend. I had no idea it was something people generally did. My (young male) teacher was like, "SHEESH, they're all the same." It was funny.

And I understand that before he did the whole snake thing, he was quite handsome. I guess that particular style doesn't suit him--perhaps you could convince him to switch back to a more A&F kinda thing instead of a dark and evil, y'know.

Incidentally, the length of my hair definitely has more to do with when I have free time to hack it off after it's gotten on my nerves long enough. Although come to think of it, that drastic haircut did come very soon after I broke up with Hermann. Although that had nothing to do with it, it was more that three hairs from my head could clog the drain...

Actually, wasn't he good looking before he became hideously ugly?

I second that. Well, whatever's appropriate for me to second. Like Alicia. I didn't know you two were having a duel. Seems like you're taking this discussion a bit too far, and why did you ask me to second for you, when I'm friends with both of you. Christ. Now I have to offend someone.

Apparently so. Alicia beat me to it, but I didn't realise it.

Okay, now I'm really confused. Who's dueling? Am I winning? Aaaahhhh....

Can't a girl just run off with a villain and be happy? CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

You're dueling with Alicia, and she asked me to second for her.

I don't know if it's possible to get along with Voldemort. Maybe you can talk him out of trying to destroy us, I don't know. Also, do you call him "Voldey"?

And didn't you like Fred, anyway?

Why wasn't I invited to this duel? How come she asked a second before I even knew I was a first?

You don't GET ALONG with Voldey. You just use him for personal pleasurement.
Freds are for getting along and marriaging and stuff.

Will you second for me?

Of course you weren't invited to the duel. You started it. Well, maybe Alicia did, I don't know; I came in later.

So you're really just stringing Voldemort along? That's not very nice. Does Fred know, or is this just one of those "He will be mine. Oh, yes. He will be mine" sorts of things?

Wait, are you asking Alicia to second for you? You can't do that; she's fighting the duel with you.

So? She picked a second, how come I don't get to pick one?

I definitely didn't start it.

Well, I'm using Voldey, yes. But I have a feeling he likes it.
And Fred totally doesn't know. But we love each other, so someday he'll forgive me for my charlatan ways and naughty past.

Well, if she kills you, she'll have to commit suicide. I mean, I guess you can ask her, but she doesn't have much incentive to agree.

Well, then, it's Alicia's fault, isn't it. She'd best be punished.

Hmmm, I suppose it could get complicated. Well, we should wait to see how she responds.

Mwa ha ha ha ha!!

Fair enough.
