The long and short of it
My hair is nearly shoulder length now. It reaches my shoulders nicely without sticking out the other way as hair tends to do when it becomes maybe an inch or two longer than that length. I would have actually been able to tie up the back, but the front was a little too short for me to pull along into the ponytail. This was before I got my hair trimmed a little last week because I thought it was out of shape. Still, I think it was quite an achievement, as I haven't had my hair at this length for at least three years. Before this I have always kept my hair short, mostly because I thought I was better suited to shorter hair. Of course, being completely fuss-free to manage was also a big plus point.
All these years I have always found it amusing how some people have consistently fought with me over my choice of keeping my hair short (Right now it is longer only because I'm bored and want to do something different for awhile. Although by trying to be different from what I normally am, now I just look just like everyone else with long hair). "Long hair looks good on you!" they would insist. Since this happened on a regular basis, I would always shoot back, "Why?" The most common reason I got was "Because your hair is soooo niceeeee!! Mine is so horrible, not like yours". Umm, hello, not to be rude, but just because you think your hair looks bad is no reason to impose your unfulfilled fantasy of having perfect hair on me?
Then, of course, is the other reason, which really puzzled me. "Because you look good with your hair tied up." When I pointed out to them that there is no difference between me keeping my hair short and keeping it tied up all the time, they look completely stumped. That situation has never failed to make me laugh everytime I think about it. In fact, LOL.
Anyway. just for comparisons sake, here are two photos of me, one with long hair, and the other with short hair.
The picture at the top is from Adjay's blog. It was taken at a steamboat some months ago.
This one is basically a repost of the wedding pictures. I don't exactly have a lot of pictures of myself. In any case, big difference, huh?
I still prefer the short hair, though.

Both are considered short to me. Every tried shorter than short? Maybe that would change what people would think. Long looks nicer, somehow.
'Tis long for someone whose hair has never gone past that length before ;)
I can't really cut my hair THAT short, it's too thin, otherwise I probably would have.
