I let my roommate cut my hair ...

It seems like that sentence should end with: and she gave me this horrible mullet! But in my case, thankfully, it ends with: and I love it!

I always, always have to cut my hair on impulse or I'd never do it. I constantly want long, long hair but am faced with the fact that my hair is just too thin to pull it off. So when my hair gets more than six inches below my shoulders and I'm sick of trying to blow dry it into something that doesn't look like a blonde rat's nest, I go get it cut. Today was that day, but my friends yelled at me wanting to do it today because it's "Buy Nothing Day" which is, as far as I can figure out, the Canadian and International response to Black Friday. I knew that if I didn't cut it today I wouldn't make myself cut it for another few months and I'd be heading back home and off to Scotland with too-long hair. So when Hannah offered to cut my hair, with Teal's help and Rachel's guidance, I nervously took them up on the offer. I freaked out, well, a lot. I yelled at Hannah a bit and, according to the pictures, I actually looked like I was going to be sick. But, low and behold, the three of them pulled off one of the best haircuts I've had in years.


The before I quickly snapped when they we were headed to the bathroom for the cut:

Hannah looks a bit too excited to cut my hair:

I do not look happy:

So it isn't anything special, but I really like it:
