Thoughts for National Coming Out Day
Oct. 11th, 2011 10:13 pmI became interested in gay rights long before it occurred to me that I might be queer.
( Cut for length )
( Cut for length )
Last night I dreamed that I was searching for an extra hair elastic so I could braid my hair with it tied off at both ends and cut it off. In my dream I proceeded to cut it off, and then woke up, realized that I had only cut it off in my dream, and went looking for a hair elastic, etc., repeat two or three times.
I then actually woke up, a little overheated and sweaty, with my hair down my back because, once again, I had only cut it off in my dreams.
Possibly this is a sign that I should actually cut my hair off like I've been thinking about for the past couple of months. I like how long hair looks but lately all that mine is good for is getting sweaty and being in my way when I don't have it up.
Having short hair may also make me look closer to my age; it doesn't bother me when people assume that I'm a student, though I do find it somewhat baffling. And it'll be easier to code as queer, which I keep feeling that I should do -- long hair with no particular style codes as masculine to me, but that doesn't mean it looks that way to anyone else, especially here. Must obtain clippers. If I have clippers, I can cut my hair myself. This will save money, and also the time and aggravation that I won't have to spend explaining to the hairdresser that, yes, I actually do want to cut off all my hair, yes, really, that short.
