well that's something that has given me hope and kept me going with my long
hair
(found a second white one recently)
but over here in the uk long hair is not considered 'smart'
smart here means 'well-dressed' and has nothing to do with intelligence
i had a goatee too but that left about a year ago
luckily i am working in an art college so i have even more of an 'excuse'
even though only 3 or 4 others have long hair
administrators and all rush about over in the City (business district of
london) with their ties and suits... conform...
nasos

oh but dying my hair purple - id love to (i never got 'round trying that
stuff), but that would probably be 'unacceptable'
