what's on my mind // 2003-09-10

i got my hair cut and colored this morning. i walked out of the salon on the verge of tears, i hated my haircut so passionately. why is it that i can never explain what i want my hair to look like to my hairdresser? instead of saying "please, cut the back a bit shorter and keep the chunky bob look" i say something like "cut... hair... good... blurgha...gah..." but three hours later, i suddenly loved my haircut. really, it looks great. like, what the hell was i pissing my pants about?

i think this happens to me a lot, these sudden changes of heart.

a belated thanks to habbit, emeraldtiger, peth, and myra-lee for answering my questions. you kids are the best of the best of diaryland. and while i'm giving shout-outs, here's one to the always-fabulous jetbot. just because. go tell her what ten things you're all about right now. these are mine:

• sea breezes
• stubby ponytails
• golden flax cereal from the bulk section of whole foods
• law and order
• my new office
• jane austen
• nilgiri tea
• party dresses in the afternoon
• joni mitchell singing big yellow taxi
• buying school supplies

in retrospect i would also add celery soda--dr. brown's cel-ray soda, to be precise. it can be found in the kosher section of your grocery store. oh man, that stuff is good.
