Title: I finally did it!
Post by: Shang on September 30, 2010, 12:59:42 PM
~*~If this doesn't belong here, please move it.  I had no idea where to put it.~*~

I FINALLY cut my hair!  I cut it myself, too!  I used a pair of hair clippers I bought from Wal-Mart and I used the 7/8th inch guide.  I didn't cut my bangs because they look good and I love them.

And I bought my first pair of dude pants.  They could do with being about 1/2 inch longer, but there's no such thing as that in the pants section.  I also got me a purple shirt that has a blue and yellow batman symbol on it and yellow baseball cap for Sunday, when I go to Gay Day at the Zoo!  I even bought a small ID holder so I don't have to take my purse with me!

I'm also going to introduce myself as Lukas to everyone I meet there, regardless of my voice or how well I pass (or don't pass).  I'm so excited!

Congrats Gabriel :) or do you prefer Lukas? You just usually go by Gabriel on the Osiris thread. Wow before my rant my point was congrats! I still am too scared to shave my own hair so that's awesome! I bet you'll look great at gay day especially because of your confidence

Gabriel is fine! :D  I'm not picky, lol

And thank you!  I was scared...and then I was just frustrated and was like "I'm cutting it whether my parents like it or not".  It's not terribly short, but its the shortest I've ever had. XD

Congrats! Wish I could cut my own hair. I'd save a lot of money.

Thank you!

That's why I invested $17 into my own set of clippers. XD I can cut it and save money...and save money on hair supplies. XD

It's funny how a haircut can make one so happy. I love when I get my hair done. I always feel happier and more confident after.

Congrats, that sounds exciting!  I know I was very excited when I finally got my hair cut.  Cool that you did it yourself, too!

I remember how happy I was when I cut off my 2 feet of hair.  Congrats!

Thank you!  I only cut off a couple of inches and I'm ecstatic, I can only imagine how you must have felt!

Yeah!  I also took off 2 feet of hair.  (Took pictures to document it :P)  It was very freeing.
