in '89 when I went to college and had to pay for a haircut (I guess my parents had paid for them all along...) and I realized I'd just handed someone the last of my beer money...I've had long hair for ~30 years now. I get it trimmed a couple times a year these days, and I'd just had it trimmed in Jan...I'd like to get my stylist to dye it purple again, the color has faded, but length is not an issue for me.
