welp. i shaved my head.





why, you may ask?
POR QUE:
to test things.
to test the strength of social norms.
to test my confidence.
to test my family's love for me (actually, that wasn't a premeditated purpose. i didn't even realize it would freak them out so badly, but it totally did.)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, of course: i shaved so i could get lots and lots of headburns. aka sunburns on my atrociously white scalp.

anywho. it's all going quite swimmingly. i thought i might feel hideous or be treated super differently or get dumped. on the contrary, i forget it's shaved until i look in a mirror, so i act pretty much the same, and thus deduce that it's all about how you act, not look. because people react to me the same, if not better. and no dumpage.



in other words, bada bing.

And to think, all of this bald glory could have been mine!!! Now my day in the sunburned-scalp-producing sun will never be mine. Tear.
