i never had a hairdo. i have red hair, not the copper wire kinky kind like carrot top. i have soft, baby fine, fly away hair like a kitten. i could never mold it into any shapes or styles. not even a flat top. once my hair is over an eighth of an inch long, it just sort of falls over flat.

my hairline started receding in late high school, but stopped in late college. since then i have been in a holding pattern for over 10 years. every day i search for a grey hair so i can claim i went grey before bald.

all of this really never bothered me too much, i guess you can't lament over something you never had a chance to experience. i accept my fate happily and usually shave my head every other month. if my hair gets any longer than that it looks as if i am trying to hide the obvious.

but recently i have had a semi-recurring dream. a dream of long and lush hair that i have to brush from my face so i can see. hair that moves as i move. hair that dances upon my head.

i don't sleep much and view it as a waste of time. but recently, sleep seems good, ahhh,... perchance to dream...
