I am hairist! Or I'm a hairist...one or the other.

A Mermaid by John William Waterhouse, 1901

Don't hate me because I judge everyone's hair length!  I admit it.  When I am let out in public, I see someone with long hair, I think to myself, "should I let that lady know I like her hair?"  "should I ask her if I could take her picture for my blog?"  "am I being creepy staring at her hair?"  These thoughts run through my head constantly.  When I see long hair, I usually admire things I don't have, like the length, color, wave, thickness, or youth.  When I am talking to a friend who has long hair, I do listen to them, but I am admiring their hair at the same time  I even can judge hair when it is in an updo or a bun.  Yep, I'm that good....or bad, depending on your perspective.  In fact, the next time I'm talking to you, ask me if I was thinking about your hair.  I will tell you when I was thinking about your hair during the conversation.  Or maybe it's best you don't know.  Yeeeeaaaah.....
  
Now that this is out in the open, I hope that people with short hair won't keep me out of their places of business (especially if it has to do with good food and drink).  It doesn't mean I hate people with short hair or wish them ill.  I just don't think about their hair very much.  If I do, I think "it looks good like that" or "they should grow their hair longer".  That's all.  Being hairist isn't that bad, right?
