Haircut

I needed a haircut, bad. So, after my sweet staff lunch cruise (pictures on flickr) last Thursday, I decided it was time. And, I decided to do it myself. Once that decision was made, everything fell into place out of practicality. I would have preferred more of a scissor cut, but I figured that attempting to scissor cut the back of my head would be disastrous. So, that meant clippers... so I just figured I'd give myself a buzz cut, 7/8 inch. I also thought, "well, if I'm gonna buzz it, then I should do a faux-hawk on the way". So, I started with the sides. But, once the sides were short I was thinking, "hm... this kinda works... maybe if I just kind of fade the sides into the top and leave some length up there, it'll be good." So, that's pretty much what I did. I've gotten nothing but good feedback, save one girl who said I looked "cuter with shaggy hair" and another girl who told me the sides definitely needed a trim. Luckily, my friend gave me a side-trim at a bbq this afternoon. So now I'm set. People at work were amazed that I did it myself. According to my boss: "I would never even try to give myself a haircut." Come on people, it's only hair!
