On my hair

This week's 30 Rock

Liz Lemon: I guess I am just getting to the age where I don't care what people think of me
Jack Donaghy: If you're thinking of getting a really short haircut let me know so I can tell you not to.

(or something to that effect)

Yeah, so I watched this after I cut all my hair off.

Lucikily, because I'm donating the 10 inches they cut off people will think I'm a good person regardless of what else they think. And as for things that make you a good person, donating your hair is one of the easiest.

My favorite Q and A from the Locks of Love website:
Q. Is my hair donation tax-deductible?
A. Please check with your tax preparer. We cannot place a monetary value on a ponytail.

Hmmm. I can put a monetary value of anything, so I'm good to go. But perhaps what they are really saying is that they would just prefer a monetary donation, which is pretty much what they told the nytimes.

Its been a while since all my hair was cut off. I was going to do this in February, but I was also going to go speed dating in February, and P told me that if I was going to go speed dating then I needed to keep my hair long. Well, I didn't go speed dating because my friend who was going to get us in for free didn't get single in time. So that was a bust. I'm not sure my long hair has done anything for me in the meanwhile, and its time for a fun summer cut.

And my mom said that she liked it. She also said, "why don't you cut your hair chin length?" for my entire childhood. So that's at least one person I don't have to worry what they think of me now.

I think you are pretty and a good person! I wonder if your old hair will look as good on someone else as it did on you.

Also, I'm sorry about what I said about speed dating, I was clearly wrong. You are just as pretty/prettier without all those locks loving you down.

I agree, it looks great.
