Time for a Victory Lap

I got a haircut. It was a mistake. In a month that is soggy and hot, I have forgotten to heed my two most basic life tenets: Keep your expectations low and (2) Keep your ends split and your hair stringy.
Rather than make a complaint at the salon (AWKWARD! HELLO! HER FRIGGING NAME WAS JAMES. SHE WAS ADORABLE AND I DON'T WANT HER TO HATE ME!) I came home and made a complaint at the Customer Service Desk of Trusted Friends: "My head looks like a penis."

Here's my basic outline for problem solving:
If you meet resistance,
1. Make a non-verbal sound of defeat.
2. Back away.
2.5. Give up.
3. Yell a little.
4. Cry a little.
5. Take a nap.

These pictures were taken shortly before my progression through steps 1, 2.5, and 5. AND THIS IS A SHOWER DAY. There is no excuse.
