Almost Cut My Hair

Fortunately I didn’t. Instead I dyed it purple, but it came out pretty much black, which isn’t a bad result, all things considered. Apologies for the camwhoring, but it’s useful here for purposes of illustration.
I’ve mentioned to a friend how I often step out of the shower with new hair and think something along the lines ‘Ah, here’s to the new me who won’t fuck everything up’. It’s dumb, and I’m fully aware of how dumb it is, but I definitely got a blast of that earlier on when I exhumed all traces of that scummy orange colour from my hair. It’s been about a year since I had a full head of dark hair and, apart from bouts of serious videogaming, drinking and film watching with my best friends, it’s been a rolling disaster of a time.
So here’s to the new me, that is to say the me of one year ago, before the stupid red hair, stupid dead-end relationship, stupid bourgeois notions of respectability and obligation, and the unfathomably stupid decision to embark on a medicine course (that I’ve long since dropped out of). In the parlance of our times, fuck that shit.
The vegetarianism can stay though; I still think it’s disgusting to eat other animals. Apart from that, it’s as if the past year never happened; starting from right now, things are going to be different. Existentialism ftw!
