Dan sounds like he'd be annoying as shit for long periods of time.

My hair is pretty much perpetually shaved. It's awesome. You didn't talk about the first time you ran down a hallway and felt the wind breeze over your aerodynamic-ass head! Also, you don't use nearly as much shampoo, and (at least for me) no conditioner at all.

But whenever I start a new class and my hair happens to be grown out and curly, and then I get it shaved, I always have the same "YOUR HAIR IS ALL GONE (!?!?)" conversation with people in that class. Kinda like when I decide to wear my contacts/glasses for the first time around people. It's not weird to me that people are attached to hair and glasses and stuff - boys and girls - I get it, but it's just never been very important to me.

I've told three different girls that I bet they could pull off short hair super well. Two shuddered and recoiled in horror. The other was my sister, who was interested, but too scared to try it - her hair goes past her waist when she straightens in, and reaches the length of her back when it's curly.
