deckardcanineFor most of my life, I've had low tolerance for letting my nails and hair (aside from facial hair at times) grow. When I got a buzzcut at age nine, I loved it. I guess the slightest sensitivity to fashion induced me not to maintain that style, but I kept it pretty close.
I still keep my nails short -- in fact, when my mom noticed last week, she thought they'd be ingrown -- but I feel no hurry to get my hair trimmed, even now that it's been past my former threshold for a while now. Why is the question. Has it gotten more comfortable for me? Am I subconsciously driven to a certain new look? Do I really not want the hassle of seeing a barber on Saturday? Am I just absent-minded?
It may have to do with the fact that my hair is now wavier than ever, another observation my mom made recently. I just figured that I never let my hair get so long in so much humidity before. In any case, I rather like it wavy. My early education, back before my hair was dark brown like you see in my icon, never told me it was possible to have hair neither straight nor curly. It feels distinctive and borderline... rebellious. (Yeah, I'm pathetic like that.)
Maybe it's just a phase. I used to sport a goatee in part because its rust color seemed to befit a fox enthusiast, but the feel was too distracting. So will the feel of my wavy hair if I'm not careful.
