Montage Mountain

I honestly don't even know who reads this anymore. My hair has now exceeded past the length it was before i got it shaved, so i don't know what progress i am recording, ha. Tell you what, my next drastic haircut will probably be the last time i post pictures. It no longer is fun and honestly, i feel like I'm 'blogging' to myself. But, for the two readers that i have, thanks Rachel and Allie, here are pictures for you. More for Rachel i guess, she isn't around to see it first hand. Whatever :)


Green Pond; Late July/ Early August Time



In my room at school. Early August.



In my room. Mid August.



In my room. Late August.




In my room. Early September.

Next time my hair will be shorter. Imagine that.


Happy 21st birthday Kristina.
My love to EBS, MSS, and CBS. Thinking about you guys today.

Red, White and Blonde

Well, the 4th of July has come and gone already. Since school let out, I have been looking forward to Green Pond time and the summer sun. Although, the Jersey sun refused to shine for about a month, we all have been able to get out and soak up some rays in between the busy work schedules of everyone. I hope that by the end of the summer I have long blonde locks and bronze skin, ha.


Wet and sleek, this is how long it was after a trim from Ashley. I wanted to make sure that I started out the summer with fresh hair. The one to the right of it was after it had dried a bit. It was taken right after school was let out in the beginning of May.


This pictures was taken sometime in June. At this point and time I had not been out in the sun to stimulate growth or to get lightened color, so it has changed from this point on as well.

Sorry this is such a cheep posting, but I wanted to put something up. I will upload some current pictures soon.I hope you all are having a great summer and that you had a happy and healthy 4th!


(Miss you ANT.)

Fin!

I am done with classes, finals, and school for summer. It's official, yay! Now I get to relax, spend time with family, and eventually go to Green Pond to see my FAVORITE people. Sigh. I will post this summer and hopefully some growth and drastic changes will occur. One can only hope.
So, it's been some time since I last posted, so i'll just post a few pictures that have been taken over the past month or so.

Brandan had the urge to straighten my hair, so this is a product of her pink Chi. It works miracles, see...
The side angle:


The back angle makes it look like I have a mullet.
What is it with the mullet? Ugh, I am so over it.


This is what it looks like when it is put up. It
juts out a bit more in the back. No real difference
I guess. Brandan- thanks for the ego booster though. You're the best!


Here is one where I parted my hair on the other side. It made
my hair feel longer and it looked different. I am all for change, so
I can't argue that.


That's all I have for now, I will take more and I post the photos of pre-summer festivities. Talk to y'all later. Hope you are having a great summer thus far.

525,600 Minutes and counting...

Well, it's been 1 whole year. Last year, March 1st marked the first day of my spring break and my hair cut. The dates are slightly different this year, as they did not allow me to attend the events in Raleigh. I was reminded by the headline on the font page of the newspaper. The headline (ha, get it? HEAD) read: 'Bald Altruism'. and if you wish to see more of it, it can be found below.
http://www.newsobserver.com/print/monday/front/story/1425056.html There are some photos and compelling stories.So when you have a moment, you can see why this is such a great event and how they have been growing in popularity! Yay.
This time last year it was sunny and warm, not too cool.This year, it is raining and snowing out. It would not have been an ideal year to shave the head. My head would be so chilly.Brr.
Here is what my head looked like March 1, 2008:

Here is what my head looks like March 1, 2009:


I mean, I see a slight difference, but I think that I am biased...

WARNING! Contains the following: human manes and Eddie Murphy look-a-likes.

Well, it is almost that time again, spring break. Yay! I am finishing up my last week in Cullowhee, then going to Raleigh for a bit. I might even stop by the St. Baldrick's event to pay my respects, see all them bald folks. It will be interesting to see it from a historical perspective I guess. If I do go, I'll take pictures and post them.

After almost one year, I have done many-a-thing to my hair style(s). Up, side, half, quarter, you name it, I might have tried to do it. Most of them failed to look acceptable, but some manage to work out. I have here a pinned mess, but oh does it feel so good to get it up.

It has taken me some time to figure out what I can and cannot do.
Some things just look silly. Once all the layers grow out beyond a point,
I think it will get better.

and this...this is the aftermath:

Granted it was up all day long and I did put it up when it was wet-ish,
but I look like Mufasa. UGH. ( Don't tell anyone but I kind of enjoy the
massive body it has, ha.)

Another way to wear it, is down. I think it is getting longer, right? Maybe
slower than I might like, but we can see the difference if we compare to
previous posts.



On another note, not only do I have hair on my head, but also on my face. Allie and I attended a party where a mustache was required. This 'Mustache Party' was a weekend festivity worth attending. Hey Al, congrats on winning the contest for the faux stash. She was told that she resembled Eddie Murphy...I don't think I see it, but that's your call.


I will leave you to ponder this one. I will post on the 1 year anniversary. See some of you soon, as for the rest of you, I can't wait to see you again.

Cut-It-Out

You know on Full House, when Joey does the hand gesture and says, 'cut it out'?!
Yeah, I had no real point there, just wondering if you watched Full House and knew what I was talking about in reference to the post's title.
Anyway, I went to Athens again this weekend. I got a hair cut. Before I went to get it cut, I had the Brady cut....AGAIN. In fact, it closely resembled a mullet as well. Sticking to the Full House theme, let's just say that I could have looked like Uncle Jesse. Wow, I must have looked HOT!
So, it was really just shaped and layered again with a razor. I am trying to keep length, yet maintain some sort of style. It is hard to watch them take off an inch and think that it will just grow back and I'll have to do it all over again...
Here is what it looks like now. You might not be able to even notice a difference in length. That could be both a good thing and bad, for me. It has almost been one year. In fact I got an e-mail telling me to be a shavee again. I laughed. But, maybe another time, we'll just wait and see.
I'll update you again soon, but just wanted y'all to see the new hair.

The End of an Era...

Who wants to leave this? Honestly. This is Green Pond, post sunset, and frozen. sigh.
I would like to thank everyone for their hospitality and bed for snuggle time. Loaf it!


I don't really have any hair pictures, no growth noted... Wow, I feel like I am recording a lab report, perhaps I should tone it down a bit. My hair is slowly growing, that better? :)
I have a pony tail and bangs. I feel like i'm in the 80's. It's awful.



This is a group photo on new years. I was not serious, but apparently others were, minus Joely. Happy 2009 by the way.

Thank you all for such a great break in New Jersey! I love you all very much and miss you dearly already. I can't wait for summer '09, it's going to be ground breaking. See you soon!
