much ado about a do

The last time I had my hair cut was almost a year ago for my co-op interviews. I've been mulling what to do with my hair now. I will have interviews for my next co-op job — I hope — in December and January. So, on the one hand, I want it to be clear to potential employers that I am brilliant and responsible and all things good and wonderful.

On the other hand, I've got a girlfriend who loves my hair. As a matter of fact, she said she can't even remember me without long hair. Everytime I mention the possibility of a haircut, she begs me not to do so.

This brings us to today. With a rubber band and patience, I managed to put my hair up into a very small ponytail. Actually, because it's so small and curly, I think it more closely resembles the topknot of a samurai.

I'd like to know what you all think. I wish I could show you a picture of my hair right now, but I don't have a digital camera, which would be a great Christmas idea. Just try to imagine really hard.
