So now I am bald

So while I was recovering from the stag the previous night, I went to work at 2 on Saturday to go through with the head shaving. Global television were on hand to document this "historic" moment. The closer this date had gotten, the more nervous I got. But once I walked into the store with all eyes on me, I started to freak. I was starting to imagine how weird I might look bald...like would I have some 666 on my head, or some weird bumps? I was getting super paranoid. And then having a TV camera doing a close-up of the head shaving didn't help matters. I can't believe how much hair I lost! I looked down on the floor and there were HUGE clumps of hair on the floor. It takes some getting used to going from pretty much the longest my hair has ever been to by far the shortest. The lady who scalped me didn't do the greatest job, so I got Mark to do the Mach 3 trick to my head last night, so I am a genuine cue ball now. I'm almost used to it now though... I must say that I love the fact that I can hop in the shower and be all ready in like 5 minutes. But I REALLY miss my hair. Plus it is such a weird sensation feeling the cold draft on my head all the time. I have never had so many people rub my head in my life. It's like people rubbing a Buddha belly or something. So now the growing process is beginning. My hair grows really fast, but NOT FAST ENOUGH!!! I wanted to go hat shopping with Stacey today (so I could get the female perspective) so I could accessorize my baldness, since my Hag cap is the only hat that really fits me right now, but I got called into work so I guess I'll have to do that tomorrow. When all is said and done though, I am really glad I had my head shaved because it is a great cause, it helps raise awareness about the whole liver transplant ordeal, and I am helping out someone I know and see all the time. In a way, it's a fresh start for me. Spring is the ultimate time for renewal, and getting my head shaved is a perfect way to reinforce that. But that being said, I want some hair now. Oh yeah, I should have pics available pretty soon, so I'll post some before and after shots on here and RBS.
