Snip Snip... (Written December 1st)




Today was the day. The day all my hair was wacked off my head in about 30 seconds. Well this is how it pretty much went down.

All girls went down to the Gym before the assembly to fill our donation papers, then we measured 10 inches ( or however much they were donating) and tied that into pony tails. We were able to pick the person that was going to cut. But sense my hair is really thick ( and I mean THICK) I picked two people. The first one was Hannah R. Shies been my friend sense 7th grade. And the other one was going to be Carrie but she was cutting Kim's ( Her sister) so I picked my buddy Kasey. And then I had my two other good friends that just wanted to be there with me. Toni was my hand holder and Ashley was my moral support I guess. ( She didn't wasn't to sit and watch from the bleachers. They ran out of scissors so I had to wait. Wich meant I watched half of the girls before it was my turn. Most of them cried ( which is understandable) but the girl next to me was Screaming. Not just teary- screaming. And it was my original plan to have both my ponytails cut at the same time, so I didn't hold one then the other one was getting cut. So then it was my turn.

Now al lthe people in the audience were staring and cheering and standing. When I looked to see if their were any other girls left their were only 3 left then me. And we were only given one pair of scissors. This was going to be painful. So Hannah took the pair of scissors and she started to cut. I held tonis hand, but then I started to cry- the assembly is very emotional. Then when she was done she handed Kasey the scissors. But I made the mistake and reached up to feel my hair- It felt like it was all gone! Then Kasey started to cut and when she was done she gave me the biggest hug ever- she was crying then too. All the while Toni was holding my hand and saying "Oh Bee don't worry you look beautiful!" Which was a lie but she was trying to make me feel better. While Kasey was cutting Carrie ( the one that was supposed to cut it) came over and was "Oh Bee! Youre the last one here dude!" But then the deed was done, my hair was cut.

I went back to where we were getting the hair styled and I amazingly found a lady who wasn't doing anyone's hair yet. I sat down and showed her the clip of the style I wanted. Then I said " Can you do this?" and she said "Baby, I can do anything!" After she was done cutting it the power went out! So her and her people stood around me and were lighting my head with cell phones so that she could finish styling it ( our blow dryer was working!) Then she was done. So the girls that were done went out and showed off our new "Doos". I have to say I was quite pleased with it.
