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.

I'm no doctor either, but I am a psychologist, and I side with stress too. I never noticed my losing my hair, but my stress during grad school manifested itself as severe insomnia (up for days with no sleep) and a weird OCD/forgetfulness thing. For instance, I would run downstairs to my car to go to school, forget whether I'd locked my apt door, go back up to check it, go back down to the car, and then wasn't sure if I'd just checked or not and repeat the process. It was kinda scary for awhile. But with the stress gone (and a little taking control of myself), it stopped.

Yes, you are awesome (I now have proof!). And meanwhile, I'm sure you're still as gorgeous as ever as a punk chick. :)

I had a friend who would do that when she closed the bookstore. She'd drive all the way home, after checking the door multiple times and drive all the way back to check it again. I think that was more of a "scared of doing something wrong" thing though.

And thank you. :)
Can you turn mange into punk?
