I'm going to perpetrate one of the definitive acts of mundane blogging by discussing my hair. To those of you muttering under your breath that I perpetrate definitive acts of mundane blogging every single time I post, just shut up. Nobody asked you.

I currently hate my hair. I'm thinking about chopping it all off. Well, not all of it, but several inches. The last time it was cut short, it was an accident, and I cried. No, I didn't just cry. I took one look in the mirror, then went into my bedroom, collapsed on the bed, and sobbed unctrollably for about an hour. But really, it turned out to be not such a bad haircut, once I got used to the lack of length. So I think I'm ready for short hair again, and I think that if I'm prepared to expect short hair this time, it won't be such a traumatic experience.

The problem is, I don't know what kind of hair cut I want. Last week I bought one of those celebrity haircut magazines, and I picked up a copy of Mademoiselle because it had an article about finding the perfect haircut, complete with pictures to clip out and take with you to the stylist. All of the haircuts shown in Mademoiselle were FUG-LEE. Apparantly sticking your head in a blender is the current trend in hair fashion. Since I'm not really much of a trendy person and tend to prefer my hair to look, you know, pretty, those styles were out.

In the celebrity mag, all of the styles were geared for either stick-straight or super curly hair. Nothing for in-between, mildly curly hair. Except for Debra Messing's, but she's got enough hair on her head for three people, and it involves lots of time with a curling iron, which I'm just not up for, and besides, with a friend like Terrence, I really don't need to invite any more comparisons between myself and Grace Adler, thankyouverymuch.

The only haircut I really liked was Allyson Hannigan's in this picture, and I would get it if I had straight hair. It's cute, and it looks to be low maintenance. I'm not sure how it would look on semi-curly hair, though, and I'm not anxious to spend a lot of time in the morning on straightening. Or on curling, for that matter. By the time I get 'round to doing my hair, I usually have about five minutes until it's time to leave. Yes, low maintenance is the key.

So, anybody have any haircut suggestions? Here's a somewhat recent picture of me, if that helps. Any and all entries will be much appreciated, though suggestions to shave my head will be scoffed at and ignored.
