the apples entry

enthusiastickI've been vaguely considering letting my hair grow long(ish) again. I'll confess that probably has something to do with the fact that is well on its way; if I'm not going to grow it out a little, then I'm probably overdue for a trim. Arguments in favor of growing it out include the fact that I'm usually unhappy with the way it looks for about a week after I get a haircut, unless I get such a minor adjustment cut that I end up having to get it cut every two weeks or so. Arguments in favor of cutting it include the fact that virtually no one seemed to think it looked good when I let it get longer last year. I liked it, but then its a miracle I can dress myself (and there are those who argue that I can't) so my opinion doesn't count for much.
(Please note that I'm referring to my opinion as to whether or not it looked good. My opinion as to whether or not I ought to cut it, regardless of how it looks, counts for a great deal. I'm pretty much the only person who gets a vote.)
Also factoring into my deliberations is the fact that, if my maternal lineage is anything to go by, balding may not be far off. My grandfather on that side of the family claims to have been significantly balder than I am now when he was my age. So if I'm ever going to have and enjoy long hair, now is clearly the time to do so. Although in all fairness I grew it out last year more or less in a fit of pique, because I was living at home and I didn't care how I looked. Last year at this time I didn't care about much of anything, really. I was depressed and my outlook was bleak. I guess I'm somewhat wary of repeating decisions made in that timeframe.
I had a good weekend, definitely. I took an unscheduled day off on Friday, which was unspeakably good for my mental health. Friday night there was GURPS gaming courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thablueguy over at war_pug's place alongside dippy423, euchaotic and playinggodagain. It was very much a good time, even if it took a little while to get going. Sunday I had brunch at the apartment of beah (who is, for future reference, the new significant other of sleetfall.) Good times -- I met many interesting new people, most of whom apparently have LJs, only I haven't got their names yet.
Today was a day of irrationally tedious meetings at work, all of which ran overtime, as evidenced by the fact that I started this entry a little bit before lunch and am just now finishing it at home. I think its going to be a long week. At least I get a half day on Friday.
