getting my hair cut tomorrow
as i'm looking for haircut ideas, i'm realizing that every time i look for haircut ideas, i'm drawn to mandy moore. good job her. these are what i'm thinking of this time.
problem is the 2nd is pretty much what i always do, but i'm just not sure i'm ready to commit to the shortness of the first. no matter what, i don't know how to do hair, and it's too thin to ever be beautiful, and so no matter what i'll be disappointed in it. if only hobsis and i could share. then she wouldn't have to have hers thinned, and i wouldn't have to spend time in tears because i'm balding.

maybe you're also drawn to the color of mandy's hair? your sister has too much hair? doesn't that figure. i like both the top and bottom styles, although i'd personally be scared to go very short. i notice that she does sort of an angled part, and it seems like a lot of girls do that. but i dunno, i can't get it to look right on me. i guess we gotta work with what we have, huh? sorry you're discouraged. :( i can't relate to the hair problem, but i definitely am in tears about other things [about my physical appearance]. things which i think are a much bigger problem than hair, of course. because the grass is greener in pretty much everyone else's yard.
did i mention diet to you when we talked about this when i was there? i can't remember... so if i did and am again, i'm sorry to be annoying. however, i do think that diet can make a difference; i hear that from a lot of people. but i also think that for me personally, i had to be desperate before i'd make those changes (and still haven't made as many as i'd like). but maybe you feel desperate if you're in tears about it. but i suppose it's like when we talked about wanting to stop sinning but also not wanting to (not that what you're eating is sinful -- it's just a comparison). also, there's no guarantee that it'll do anything in this case (compared to giving up our sin). for your hair, that is. it is kind of guaranteed to make you healthier, in some way. (just might not be visible -- but maybe you could feel better too! and that would be maybe a worthwhile benefit) ok, i'll get off my soapbox now. just wish i could help! i know you guys wish you could help when i get discouraged too. i'll just keep praying. love you! >:D<
it's a good soapbox, i just don't have the money or self-discipline or freedom to make my own food. i can't justify $3 for a box of 5 fruit leather when i can get 10 fruit roll-ups for $1.50 if i look for sales. and i won't justify eating rice cakes when there's such a thing as bagels.
and yes, the grass is greener, because i definitely see hair loss as a bigger deal.
It's true, it is more expensive in some ways. Also less in some ways too though, because that packaged stuff can really add up (and some people save money medically when they improve their diet as well). But I can't convince you; it's something you'd have to decide yourself that you were going to do no matter what (which, like I said, who knows what impact it would really have, so I could understand the reluctance too).
And you don't even know all my (physical) issues that bring me to tears. :P I'm too open about a lot of things, but on that, I can be pretty silent. I'm sure I would be upset about hair loss too though -- in fact, I prayed a lot for Busy when she was battling cancer because I wanted her to still feel pretty. Isn't that shallow? Obviously I wanted her to be healthy and not in pain, but yeah, that's such an important thing for me (unfortunately), so I just thought a lot about that for her. :( Seems like that disease can take away your femininity, and that's what's so upsetting to me about it (in addition to the pain and possible death, of course). I don't know what my point is, just that these things that define our femininity to us are really sensitive areas for us. Like hair, chest, childbirth, marriage... That's my theory anyway. Not very helpful though. Hair loss is a bigger deal in that it's more visible, I suppose (although I didn't notice on you until you showed me). My issues are at least more hide-able (until marriage -- probably why I'm avoiding that like the plague...).
whether i know all your medical issues or not, i still know that the grass is always greener. :P
and like i've said before, i don't go to the dr, so medical costs aren't there for me. and packaged stuff doesn't add up like real stuff does. that's why people eat ramen and spaghetti-o's.
i don't think it's wrong to be concerned that someone feels pretty. it's a part of who we are. GOD designed us that way, it's the devil who has twisted it.
my hair is now chopped off and orange. i like it except that the fear i always have of my eyebrows being too dark for non-brown hair is a legitimate fear apparently.
i just saw this. did you go with the first one? because i was going to say go with the first one.
once, on what not to wear, the hair stylist i don't like dyed a woman's hair orange and dyed her eyebrows to match. dyeing the eyebrows was a huge mistake.
