Okay, so this isn’t the big news that I was originally planning to write about, but I decided to do my newsy bits in chronological order, so you get to hear the lesser-news before you hear the greater-news. Greater-news should follow tomorrow sometime.
So, lesser-news! Tomorrow, starting at around 1:45pm, an era will be ending. For me. I’m getting my hair cut.
Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve grown my hair out long, only to chop it off again. So I can’t guarantee I won’t be tempted in the future to start letting it get long. But for the short-term, at least, I will be a (proud?) member of the short-hairs club – a hippy no longer (at least in appearance).
Why, you ask? I dunno… time for a change? And since I was planning to have it short for the wedding, and I don’t want to traumatize myself the week before (any more than I will regardless), this is as good a time as any. And if it turns out that my hair looks terrible short these days – or, gods forbid, I’m going bald on top or something – I have a whole year to figure out what to do before it’s truly important.
So tomorrow afternoon I’m heading to Marc Stephens and telling them to do their best. I’m bringing a photo of Patrick Dempsey with me. Because his facial features are somewhat similar to mine, his hair looks like it would behave similarly (waves and whatnots), and he has an awesome ‘do. So that’s a good place to start. :)
Wish me luck! I’ll let you know how it goes.

I….am a touch bothered. You promised to tell us the important news, and you failed to reveal it. For shame!
