short

short. that describes:
- the time i have left in new york city....
- the length of my haircut....
- the extent of my temper (please ask for unrelated story about my socially challenged subletter)
- the length of this post

getting back to the point.... i cut my hair today, short, shorter than ive ever had it in my life... my sister and i donated to locks for love, which is a great cause. i was uneasy about cutting my hair, because again, i was worried about fitting in. (see last post) i somehow thought that by cutting my hair short, i would drawing more attention to myself in india. however, as alan pointed out, my long hair and appropriate cultural garb might have given me the appearance of someone from india, but as soon as i open my mouth, they are going to be aware that i am not from chennai/india/wherever. which was my experience when i went to india in '06.

however, i realized that cutting my hair short is not nearly as challenging as moving to hot and humid chennai for the summer. besides, change is good...right?
