I would make a horrible mother today.

I stopped at Panera after going out and it's only taken me a half hour to want to throttle a small child. Gratefully it's only the one, but still. And I can't even hear him thanks to my headphones, so now it's like he's actively trying to drive me up a wall since I apparently have a stronger urge to tell him to sit down than his mother does.

Also, I've seen a clearer picture of Britney and her shaved head. Oh, sweetie. I've seen a surface like that once, but the footage was kind of grainy and I had a hard time seeing it past Neil Armstrong and the space capsule.

Then again, there's a reason why you won't see me shaving my head anytime soon. I've always wanted to do it just for the hell of it, but I've also always known the story about how when I had the chicken pox I had one HUUUUGE one that took up the entire back of my head and I scratched at it like crazy. So you know how they say, "What if you shave your head and it turns out your skull has some hideous deformed chunk out of it or something?" Er, yes. I presume my bald head would look rather like I'd been beaned in my skull with a toaster-sized meteorite and therefore, hair.

Oh god, yes. Never shave your head. I shaved the back of my head when I was at university and discovered a huge port wine stain birthmark. And then I had to spend a month in lecture theatres convinced that everyone in the rows behind me were staring at my head.

*shudder*

See, I have nothing against a woman shaving her head, but she'd better be sure she doesn't have a bumpy skull or a birthmark or a huge scar or something. A guy can pull that off, but a girl ... not so much, unfortunately.

Yeah, but you never know until you try. So really, the best bet for an intermediate step is to get kind of a pageboy cut with it quite short from the nape of the neck up along the back of the skull, but leaving enough hair that you don't have to become Scarf-Wearing Girl for several months while your hair grows back.

Admittedly, though, I'm a guy who's had his head more or less shaved for seven years now. And I have the benefit of a finely shaped skull. *grin*
