BOTAK!11:26 AM
Thursday, January 11, 2007
since it is cheaper to cut my hair than dye it black, im botak 2 days ahead of schedule. hmmm the skin feels quite raw especially around the back of my neck. im pleasantly surprised that my head is very very very round and doesnt look like a bullet or a lumpy potato-sack.
however my forehead is really high so i look like im balding prematurely. i look less like scoffield, more like abruzzi with a crew cut.
touching my hair is like touching a very rough brush, or perhaps somewhat like those mop-brushes that canteen aunties use not to clean the floor but to spread the water out more evenly, making it easier for students to slip and fall on their asses.
head doesnt really feel any lighter, probably because of the dread of ns weighing heavily on my shoulders.
i was rather freaked out at first at the amount of hair being shaved off. i thought: that is alot of hair. i never knew my hair was that thick. the barber had to shave off layer by layer till he finally reached my scalp cos he tried to shave it all at once the first time and my hair choked the electric razor.
but the barber is seriously quite pro. he knows th lingo asking if its haircut number 2. there are numbers for haircuts in the army? i wonder what number is for an afro? probably 69 or 42 or something. and he used 3 different razors with 4 different attachments and a manual non-electric razor. pro sia. i always thought army crew cut was just one razor and krrzzzzz krrrrzzzzz all gone.
