<I wish I had hair.>
Just to rub it in Richard, I have very long hair, tied into a ponytail that
reaches down my back almost to my waist.
Two conscious reasons for this: a) I have had only one ear since birth, and
my Mum used to get my hair cut pretty long when I was young, so that it was
covered up, so the other kids wouldn't pick on me- it was the 70s so boys
with longer hair wasn't too weird then. I got very used to having longer
than average hair, and then when in my early teens I saw a few swashbuckler
movies, Errol Flynn and Stewart Granger kind of films, and thought a pony
tail looked kind of cool- although by then the 'fashion' was for very short
haircuts. I have constantly had to live with jibes of being either a hippie
or a heavy metal fan, despite being neither, so you follically challenged
people have it easy! :-)
