way.way.behind.

yes i'm way behind i know. sorry.

last week was by far the busiest week i've had since Christmas. and it was wonderful. I'm on my own at the shop once again but it's been ok this time. maybe i'm just used to it now. HA! and thanks to a lot of help from my dear mother i also manage to keep the place running while being busy with clients!

as far as significant memories from last week....i have none. but that doesn't mean that i didn't see any significant people! because i did. i just can't seem to remember them....maybe i should get my head examined.

i made a fabulous new friend last week though...i think it was last week. i'm really not sure. all of my days blend together...is that a sign of age? i hope not. yikes. anyway, this guy is so freaking cool i just can't get over it. he loves tabatha which already puts him at the top of my love list. and he was so personable and friendly and genuine you just can't help but like him. he was just so precious i would really like to hang out with him and get to know him as more than a client....and maybe shop with him too :) AND he said he loves to get his haircut so there again is a another reason to put him at the top of my list! we got on the subject of my tattoos which is not uncommon because i do have quite a few that are visible...like my whole left arm and partial right arm. and we started talking about being accepted here in lubbock and i was telling him how i get stared at so often i don't even notice anymore and how people with tattoos sometimes give them a bad reputation with their attitude and i think that's one reason people stare at me so much because i'm not the "typical tattooed person" and then he started telling me about being gay in a conservative town like lubbock and how it was sometimes hard for him because alot of people also give homosexuals a bad name because they try to be so out of the ordinary that they fit right in with the stereotype. it was just so great to have someone be so open with me about something so sensitive and not have it be this awful, awkward conversation. like i said, this guy was fabulous and i hope to see much more of him.

on saturday last week i saw one of my clients who is in a band. he is also precious but not in the same way as my last subject. he's precious in the puppy sort of way. and he has awesome hair and it's so much fun for me to cut because he's not afraid to wear different styles that may not necessarily be the trend around here but they look so great on him because for one he is cute..and by cute i'm mean handsome and secondly his hair is like putty in my hands. i can make it do absolutely anything and i love it. plus it's something out of the norm. something i have to contemplate before i start instead of just knowing right away exactly how i'm going to approach the cut. i get to be in "the zone" and be creative and it's so wonderful i wish i could cut hair like his all day everyday. i did get a little embarrassed while he was there because while i was cutting his hair some of his bands music came on and i felt like a little fourteen year old fan screaming at him for his autograph or something. oh well. i hope he appreciated my support because i sure appreciate his!
