I would have misidentified that as a Jane Austen rather than Jane Eyre joke, because I am ignorant, but I would have laughed, because it is funny.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I have an appointment to get my hair cut tomorrow at the place with the shampoo station inside the old vault. I have no idea what I want, I just know I don't look how my hair is now. I hope they can work with that.

I haven't had a proper haircut since May. I've been doing homejobs ever since, and I need to stop doing that so the stylists have something to work with, but, man, I need to chop the back so I don't have a ski jump from tilting my head back.
Also, too much hair in the drain and on my comb, good lord, I don't want to go to the doctor about thinning hair. I swear, everything my mother is afflicted with in her mid-sixties, I'm being assaulted by in my mid-thirties. I blame it on her being engulfed in pesticides on Long Island in the fifties and passing bad genetics onto me.

I can't believe I misremembered that punchline.

My last haircut was also May, I think. Hard to remember.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just made a haircut appointment yesterday! But it's not until next Friday. I write the date on the stylist's card, so I know my last cut was the end of June.

Oh, I have my last appointment in iCal and it was in March. Longer than I thought, but changing salons is hard.

My hair is thinning. I changed the part in my hair and I'm doing what is essentially a brush over to minimize the visible curve of my skull through the hair. I'm not worried about it. Yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Minoxidil helps with thinning hair on the crown, but it stops working when you stop using it.
