this will be the h0ttest update ever.

So, I've definitely lost about a 1/3 of my hair, maybe more, in the past year. And before anyone says it's from dying my hair, let me tell you to shove it, Dr. Knowitall because WebMD says that ain't the case.

Luckily I had massive amounts of the headstuff, so it's not a total emergency. But, I've definitely noticed the thinning and let's just say, if it's because of stress, this new body betrayal isn't helping lower it. I'm seriously upset over this and I know it may be shallow but crap...it's a Libra AND a female thing. I love my hair. Seriously. It's something that defines me. Yeah, yeah....maybe this is an opportunity to find something else that defines me on a more substantial level...whatever. I want lots of healthy hair to color at my every whim. Fucking hell I hate getting old.

So, it's either stress, genetics, or a hormone imbalance. Frankly, I'm thinking it's a mix of the three and hoping it's hormones (which would explain the two periods in a month and my "moods"). I'm sure every ex-boyfriend reading this right now is nodding in acknowledgement. That's not true, but it sounds good.

Oh hell, maybe it is stress, as I sit here, casually grinding my teeth.

This was all a lame attempt to procrastinate with my painting....which I'm finding exceedingly difficult this semester.

November will/has been the busiest month so far.
I have no idea how bills/rent will be paid.
I am awesome to the nth degree.

When my Mom was in the final stages of her Ph.D. program, close to defense, her hair was falling out in clumps in the shower. Without being a doctor, I can almost guarantee your hair loss is due to stress. I can always tell when I am stressed that way too: the shower drain will be twice as clogged as normal, no kidding. Huge, scary hairballs with teeth.

It's not shallow at all to mourn one's hair. They don't call it a woman's crowning glory for nothing, and your hair is particularly glorious; whatever color or length I have ever seen it, it's always amazing. And it's going to be fine.

You are indeed awesome to the nth degree, and everything is going to be okay. Otherwise, I will kick its ass.

Hmmm, seems to be the consensus. It just makes me worry for the future, as I know grad school will be worse. I do this to myself, I know. It would explain the grindy-teeth too though.

And THANK YOU lady. I've always loved your pretty hair too. We are awesome.

I will email soon. Promise.
Possibly today! But this damn pirate band-aid on my finger makes it hard to type.
