well that's something that has given me hope and kept me going with my long

(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...

oh but dying my hair purple - id love to (i never got 'round trying that
stuff), but that would probably be 'unacceptable'
Well, comparing myself to _most_ of the keds in my school, I'd say 'odd' is
the word. In my school, they have a "freak day", where everyon dresses up
in screwy clothes, and purple hair and everything. Even the teachers do
it.
Hmm. Most of the high schools I pass these days seem to have "Freak
Day" defined as any day with a name ending in "y". Then again, I'm
conservatively maintaining the long hair and beard that were the
standard back when I was growing up. (At least unlike a lot of my
classmates, I still have a full head of hair to keep long, even if
there is getting to be a bit of silver mixed in). Of course, since
that used to be the dress code for serious Unix hackers and system
administrators, I have another excuse.
