Ponytail to Matt Bomer

Blog 6: Ponytail to Matt Bomer

Let's talk hair.

While I was in Santa Cruz, Kaylah and I decided to get our hair "whacked." It feels like almost two years since I ever cut my hair. I told her how I wanted to cut my hair for awhile now and that I've been trying to find a new hair style I would be comfortable living with. She kinda egged me on, more like pressured me into getting one... And to be honest I was seriously contemplating on getting a haircut while I was in Santa Cruz anyway.

So as my act of spontaneity for the year, I got a hair cut.



Now I got a number of mixed reactions.

Kaylah loved it. She remarked it as, "Oh my god! It's the 7th grade again!" Truth is, my hair was shorter in the 7th grade. XD

Mom shrieked like a teenage girl who just touched the Jonas Brothers. Before I even got in the car, she had to give my head a squeeze.

When I saw Taka and Abril the next morning, I could see and feel the awe on their faces. Seeing as Abril was in the backseat, I couldn't see her face until I turned to peer over my shoulder as she ran her hand through my hair and I saw her mouth open.

Susan Surrandon gave her death glare. She thought that Patric was going to kill me and that I could, "no longer be Rabbiman." I talked with Patric later and he actually weighed the differences and voted that short hair was better on me anyway! But basically, I freaked her out a little bit. She kept staring at it through Chemistry. An hour into the experiment, she finally accepted it. Whether or not it was a reluctant acceptance is a different story, but in the end she told me she liked it.

Susan Surrandon had also sent Dustin and Phillip a picture of my haircut and she got the reply, "Who is that and where did the real Rabbiman go?" XD

I wasn't sure what Piper was going to say. I did send her a picture message because I had talked to her on the train and let it slip that I had gotten a haircut. When I saw her, she took a quiet minute to absorb it in. She ruffled my hair a little bit, though, and decided that I looked good. [Insert giant sigh of relief here]. I mean of all the people to get good approval from, she's high up on the list. C:

The rest of the week was pretty much filled with that. The funniest moment was when I first walked into Choir. I walked in with Taka and immediately I heard like a wall of gasp. It felt like eyes were on my every move, which was kind of weird because some of those gasps and awwestruck faces were from people I didn't know... I denied noticing it though. Some people I actually knew, like Danny and BLAH, walked up and commented on how my hair looked. Dawn's reaction was pretty funny, that kind of awkward, taken off guard kind of look. XD

When I was over at the apartment another day, my mom commented that my hair kinda looked like the guy off of the show, White Collar.



I wish I could pull off the Fedora!

Anyway, the point of this blog is to say how funny it was to get so many different reactions, all of which being positive. It felt like I needed the drastic change. XD
