hair

my hair is shorter than it has ever been and i think i love it.  i can hardly pinch any hair on the sides of my head.  it's about a 3/4 of an inch  at the front (only in order to allow my widow's peak to blend in instead of sticking up and out as grows)
the day after i got my hair cut, i worked on a paper at the library with a couple of classmates.
when one of the classmates arrived, she said, "i love your hair!  you look like an 80s rocker."
i think, "80s rocker?  excellent!"
then she goes on, "and a feminist."
i laugh.
she says, "that's not a bad thing."
and i said, "well, i guess i am a feminist in many ways.  i just don't want to look 'butch.'"
"you don't look butch."
"well, good."

it was funny.
but i'm feeling the urge to go put on more makeup.
