The Haircut

You know, I was planing opn writing about the Halloween weekend today, but while I was talking to my mother about the diferent scolarships offered by that the university I intend to go to (btw, I don't qualify for any of them) something HORRIBLE showed up, something so CREEPY that made me change today's subject, cause there's no way I could dedicate a post to anything else...

It was just an ordinary day, I had just returned from my driving lesson, and was talking to my mother and I was about to go study philosofy for the test I have tomorrow, when I hear the entrance door open, after a while I hear my brother asking a question about our conversation (which proved that he didn't understand what we were talking about at all) and while I was in the middle of my answer I saw IT, he had just came throw the door, and my sister and (who were both facing towards the door) immediatly grabed our heads in shock. My mother who had her back facing towards the door, looked at me, and when she saw my face she turned towards the door

-WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF?!- she screamed while she covered her mouth whith her hands after noticing my brother's shaved head..

--it was something that no one saw coming, and in retrospective I guess maybe I shouldn't have been surprised (I mean it's not like I should have forseen it but maybe it should have seemed a bit more expected to me).. he had been bugging me for the las few months trying to convince mo of geting MY head shaved next year to do a certain cosplay in which I fit perfectly, but I'm not goba shave my head just for a cosplay-it's just hair, it'll grow back in a few months- he said trying to convince me.. and during one of those conversations, I believe he said he was capavle of doing it just to be a little impulsive (which neither of us is)--

-WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!- my mother asked as her voice got more and more desperate

-why are you geting like this?it's just hair, it'll grow back ina few months- he replied, not understanding by my mother's reaction

-I just don't get what could make you do something like this!- she said in a calmer voice, but starting to sob/cry

-I don't know, maybe cause I could! maybe to do something I never would! maybe to prove my self that I belong only to me.. I did this whithout asking or telling anyone, and it feels good, I know it looks awfull, but in y¡three months it'll be like it used to-

-you lost your mind.. I don't understand why people should do something "they never would"- my mom said looking at him whith a little bit of disgust

-mom, it's his hair, he has the right to do what he wants whith it- my little sister said (it's weird to see her "defending" him)

-she's right, is he stupid, grazy or a moron for doing this? maybe, but it's still his hair- I added

after 1 or 2 minutes he left, and my sister and I kept talking to my mother about it for a short time

-it's not that big a deal, there's no point on geting like this for something so stupid- I said and I kissed her on the forehead

-mom, when you wanted to get your tatoo they -he and my older sis- said you were crazy to get a tatoo at your age, but you did it anyway cause it's your body.. well, it's his hair and he can do what he wants no mather how crazy- my sis added

-yeah, do you believe him crazy? do you think he's stupid for doing this? well go ahead and tell him, but it's still HIS hair- I agreed

My sister didn't come home till a while later, and my mother and my sister told her about it while they drove her home (so I didn't get to see her face of shock when she saw him, cause she never did, and I wasn't there when they told her) but her reaction wasn't as fun as I though it would be (she's very "uptight" when it comes to looks, what she doesn't like she hates..), in fact it was kind of like a more normal version of my mother's reaction, she didn't cry, but she told me she was about to..

I mean, I don't get why he had to do such thing just to make a point (he does look horrible), there are many other ways to prove what he wanted to prove, I believe it was a little stupid of him.. Don't get me wrong, it's his hair, and it's not that big a deal (I mean if he had just cut it because he liked it, I would've just though that he has bad taste, but it turns out he has bad taste and he's an idiot :P) But, I do got to say, that there's a little merrit on what he did, on the fact that he steped outside his comfort zone and did it it's something that I could never do (and I'm not gonna do it just to prove I could, so I'm gonna die thinking I couldn't do it, and I'm just fine that way)

merci!!

P.S: -the bird bites- some of the "quotes" I made may not be totally accurate, it's just the best I could do to recreate the arguement (I don't remember everything ok?!)

Soff, Beth, when you see him act surprised, because he doesn't know I have a blog and I dpn't want him to (and there's no reasonable explanation of why you two know ;)
