When I Was a Boy I Was Confounded
Many years ago now, I tried to be rebellious with my hair. I cut it all off one summer, and then, as it grew back, I didn't cut the bangs until they got to my chin. After that I chopped off most of the bangs and buzzed the rest. Then, as it grew in I dyed it jet black. I tried to reverse the black with blond dye, but it ended up orange, which, to me, looked fine, actually.
Then, for many years it was just plain.
Now that I'm all grown up my hair has become rebellious in and of itself by turning grey without my permission. Unless I am mistaken, which is always a very real possibility, Stuart Murdoch and I are the same age.
