happy new year!

it's Frobuary 3, YOMHC 0x21.

i went in (heh) for a trim to shore up the hawk. i don't think i can have anything else before the brows grow back. the mohawk distracts nicely from the lack of eyebrows, which, otherwise, is quite disturbing.

i made a stranger jump in surprise today just by walking past. that's been happening a lot, lately.

there's a guy at the office who i think, now, is actually scared of me. a coworker suggested that this is because the guy is jewish and i look like a skinhead. i explained that i do not look like a skinhead, and even if i did, i'd make a terrible nazi, though the best kind of jew, which is to say, of course, a self-hating one.

the longer i keep it, the more fond of the haircut i grow. which is a bad thing, since the joke of my license photo really is diminished if i actually look like that.

my hair, actually, is now the longest it's been in many months. the strip, that is. the rest is as short as the clippers (money's worth gotten, woo!) will let it be.

my plan is to let the strip reach the point where it's curly. no spiking goo for me, thanks. we'll have to wait and see what that means for the rest of the do.
