Haircut song


I'm growing out my hair. It's about jaw-length now, and surprisingly, I need to get it cut just as often as I did when it was a pixie cut. This means that I have returned to my (apparently lifelong) goal of getting haircuts that make me look slightly more like Harriet Vane from the Peter Wimsey mysteries by Dorothy Sayers. 
Growing out my hair also means that I need to use a shower cap again.
My mom got me this jaunty number in black and pink for Christmas. Note the rosette. 
Remember a while ago when I mentioned that I write doggerel? Well, for the past three and a half years, I have combatted Haircut Nervousness by singing this song. It is meant to be yelled. I envision it as a screamier version of "Everybody Wants Some"  -  the Better Off Dead version, naturally. 
Haircut! 
I’m going to be fancy. 
Haircut! 
I’m gonna look so good. 
Haircut! 
First I’ll get a shampoo. 
Haircut! 
I’ll be smelling so good. 
Haircut! 
It will swish around my ears.
Haircut! 
It’ll feel so good.
Haircut!
The back of my neck will be so prickly: 
So Prickly! 
So Prickly!
The little brush thing never helps.
It’ll be okay.
It’s a small price to pay...
For a Haircut! 
I’m going to be fancy. 
Haircut! 
I’m gonna look so good.


ASIDE: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have had several reports of Blogger eating comments. I am not in favor of this. I am against it. I will look into it and possibly switch to Facebook comments. Of course if you are reading this on Tumblr, you may disregard this aside.

    I love the prickly neck part! This is a sad thing about doing home haircuts - no prickles!

      Stella, what? I am amazed! The prickles are not a part I love. Perhaps next time I get a haircut I should rub my neck on your neck right after!

      Note: I won't.

    It seems that if I comment from home using Chrome it works, and if I comment from work using Firefox it doesn't.

    I post photos of my haircuts because I'm so proud of myself for getting one every time. It's the closest thing to a real phobia I have. I used to get people to take me and stay for moral support.

    The idea of having someone WATCH ME GET A HAIRCUT sounds like it would cause even more anxiety, but I am impressed that it helped you!
