- several errands and several different work related things today (gotta pay for kitty surgery).

- holiday cards going out.

- OMG, eleventh Doctor! I am not ready. (also, the two men leanind in the odds, once of whom I'm fine with and one of whom I adore, are both not white. I am so not ready for another awful racewank in one of my fandoms).

- So my hair. Cut now for Visions of Weinmar Dances of Vice or wait, on the odd chance I win that Australia essay contest, so that I can have fabulous 1940s girl hair at the benefit? Logic says wait. My crazy logic says "cut now to ensure a win so you can freak out about your really short hair." Either way, it is getting cut before Gallifrey One.

I have been having this cut-not-cut conversation with myself for week, and I have nine days to decide and no idea. GAAH.

I've been having a cut-no-cut conversation, too, with friends but it would be the first time. I'm reluctant.

11. Am ready and not ready at the same time, I think.

I vote the cut should be closer to Gallifrey.

That way, your hair will be the right length for cosplay.

Well, it will get trimmed for Gally if I do it early. Actually, my big angst is that Jack's hair is parted on the opposite side as I usually part my hair when it's short. There's not reason _not_ to, but it feels weird in my brain.

What's the deal with 11? I never search out information myself...I just wait until someone else mentions it on their LJ. Cause hey, if it gets a reaction, then I probably care to know.

Also: cut! I don't know why the idea of a hair cut can be so thrilling, but it is. You can always trim again, if need be.

11 may well be the first Doctor to be black. Parts of our fandom are going to totally flip their shit. I plan to point, mock, and hold moron BBQ's.

I'm really, really hoping it's Chiwetel Eijofor and I wish someone would post the bloody news already.

Well, even if you go ahead and cut it, you can always do extensions and hairpieces if you need it longer later!

I am so not in Who fandom and thus not knowing or caring, but a non-white Doctor would have been awesome.

Longer hair in winter can be useful protection vs. head colds.
