OK, so I think I was being a bit dramatic with the last post. But that's me. I love to do that whole season ending 'Who Shot JR?' bit with this blog, just to keep y'all anticipating the next post.
But it was a life changing moment. Really. Right up there with getting married, moving to Long Beach, and washing my car.
You all may remember this young little lady...
Well, she now looks like this:
Yeah, I like to take pictures. Going to the salon and getting it cut wasn't as traumatic as I thought it would be. I actually had my hair cut shorter way back in '97, so it wasn't too bad. My stylist kept on asking me, 'Are you sure?' and I said that I was, but she seemed pretty hesitant to cut it. But then again, I'm sure that a lot of people that decide to make a cut that drastic usually don't take it well once it's done. I'm not exactly sure that I like the cut yet, it's a little too straight and chunky for me. We'll see what happens after I wash it and style it for the first time on my own. It never looks the same once you try to do it yourself, that 'just from the salon' look is just that - you never quite achieve the look that you get at the salon!
So my hair is shorter. I'm a couple pounds lighter. I'm going to save money on shampoo. But I have no idea what to do with all my ponytail holders!
In other news, I finally met Candace and Linda today, after knowing them online for what seems like forever. The girls were really sweet, and I'm scared that maybe Rod was too much for them - the smell, that is. *evil grin* But really, it was great to hang out with the girls, and we got a great tour of the University of California - Irvine, and the University of California - LA. From way south we went way north and toured both campuses. It was like night and day. UCI has a campus where all the buildings are together, with a beautiful park in the middle. The place was pretty quiet and low key. On the other hand, UCLA was totally spread out, and in the middle of Westwood, a busy place with movie theaters, restaurants, and this yummy ice cream spot called Diedy Reese - which had an AWESOME dollar ice cream sandwich.

Dude, I think I shot JR.
Anyhoo, I love your cut. It suits you quite well.
Posted by: April (lil ape) on November 9, 2003 01:14 AMa refreshing look, christine! looks nice on you..
Posted by: leonard on November 9, 2003 04:05 AMChristine!!!! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! I know what you mean about change. I cut my long hair about 3 years ago and you not only feel 20 lbs lighter but you feel like something has been amputated!
By the way, I'm so glad that you only cut your hair and didn't grow a penis! LMAO
Posted by: Pridey on November 9, 2003 05:50 AMWOW....great cut. Still looking beautiful and sexy as ever..
Posted by: on November 9, 2003 07:49 AMI love your hair Christine. See? Change is good.
Posted by: Melinda on November 9, 2003 08:19 AMlove it, love it, love it! now i can say that my hair is longer than yours. the cut really does suit you. and you got to meet Linda, too! how cool is that!
Posted by: Kathy on November 9, 2003 09:39 AMyou realize that the next time you speak of something that "will completely change the way that people ... perceive (you)", a lot of listeners will never take it that seriously, at first.
anyway, the haircut is so freaking cute.... I had to come out and say it. It's freaking cute...
It's almost like gazing at a young college student just for a brief moment and then feeling guilty for staring too long. then a police officer nudges you and asks: ' what are you looking at?' and then you try to play him wih the words : 'oh i thought i saw someone i knew.'- then you run towards the bus-stop to escape from him even though you're Dodge Neon is double-parked just parked across the street.
well it happens to everybody.
just passing by,

Well...you tease you!
Posted by: Trisha on November 9, 2003 03:46 PMYour haircut looks great Christine. Change is good.
Posted by: Sue on November 9, 2003 05:03 PMChristine, your hair looks amazing. And it sure brings out the lurkers!
For me, the hardest part to get used to when I've cut my hair is brushing it. The muscle memory takes over and even though you're looking at your short hair in the mirror, with each stroke of the brush you keep going and you wind up brushing air!
