buzz buzz

I buzzed my hair yesterday because it was getting ragged and I didn't have money or time for a proper haircut. I was worried that it would make me look like a cancer survivor, or like someone who was overly aggressive - maybe military, maybe skinhead, maybe angry lesbian. I thought it would make me look furious and poor. Instead, somehow, it makes everyone think I'm exceptionally wealthy and oddly friendly. People come up to me to ask how many thousands of dollars my thrift store coat cost and to tell me they think I made the right choice. I have had to forbid all Rosemary's Baby quotes in the house.
