a quick update on my quest to grow out my hair again: It is no longer short anymore, but it is not long either. It has now entered the long and much feared "weird stage." This is the period where there really is no way to comb it so it looks good. But yet it isn't long enough for me to stop combing it, nor has it started to be curly. It's just weird. But I have to get through this horrible period in order to get to the fun curliness again.....which is one of the main reasons I reeeeallly didn't want to cut my hair in July. But it was just getting annoying. Oh well.
