A Cut Above
Two Fridays ago I got my hair cut. (Yes, all of them.) My hair barely touches my shoulders now.
Drastic? Yes.
Refreshing? Yes.
A good decision? Apparently so.
Consider the facts: the day after I got my hair cut, one of my neighbors asked for my phone number, and asked me out. This Saturday, while out with some friends, I met a really nice guy. He asked for my phone number and asked me out. Sunday I went to church. Sat next to another nice guy. Yup. He’s got my phone number and asked if I’d like to go out.
Before haircut: nada.
After haircut: fiesta.
Conclusion: I am the opposite of Samson. To activate my super powers, I must cut my hair.
It should be noted, however, that this new discovery is somewhat of a blow to my ego. My hair apparently did all the work; my personality is much less effective than I thought. The good news is that I don’t have to spend nearly as much time honing my wit and developing enviable conversational skills.
Instead of pursuing my social betterment, I will use the extra time to abuse my new-found gift. To test the limits of my less-is-more Hair Power, I plan on initiating the creation of my own personal male harem this week by shaving my head.

If you by any chance actually shave your head, then yes…I will definitely ask for your phone number too!
We would not only look alike, but could make a unique comedy duo! Perhaps be stars in a sit-com together? Possible titles… “Meet the Baldies” ~ “Head-Room” ~ “Lice to Meet You” (I’ll let you write the premises)
The possibilities are endless…and hairless. Low Maintenance is key!

kYLE - Yeah! Hey–missed you this halloween…there wasn’t a Mister Clean to be seen anywhere!
Deb - I’ll hopefully post a picture soon…can’t keep my public waiting!
Rachel - Man siesta. Grrrrowl.
Gracie - Oh, go on. No, really, go on. Lol. You are always an encouragment!
Andy - The latter two guys occurred after I wrote the “Make Mine A Single” post. Can you believe it? I want a harem mostly so I can tell stories that start with, “One time, in my harem…”
FR - Thanks for your vote! Although I lost the election for governer, I take comfort knowing that I didn’t lose as much money in the campaign as some candidates did. *cough* Devos *cough*

You know this provides an excellent opportunity. Someone needs to coin a term for the male version of the harem.
I actually just had to dissapoint a friend of mine recently by telling her that she couldn’t have a house full of men and call it a harem; the term is exclusive to a group of females. The only males in a harem are eunuchs. (poor guys)
So, you could do a service to females around the world by coming up with a name for the male harem. Maybe we can just call them “Playtahs” and be done with it?

I would love to have my name attached to that!
Or we can call them hisems. Then you’d have his- and har- ems.

[...] isn’t fun, however, is that I got my hair cut on Wednesday without thinking of what happened last time. Now most of my time in NC will probably be spent fending off large crowds of men who want to be [...]
