I have this theory that a woman can tell approximately how old she looks based on the random personal questions asked to her by her hairstylist. (This may also apply to men, but I'm not certain.) When you are very young, you get something like "Are there any boys at school you like?". This moves to "Are you dating anybody?" later (late teens, maybe), which is followed by "Are you seeing anybody?" (early twenties). This yields to "Are you married?" (late twenties) and then to "How many kids do you have?" (thirties). I presume that the pattern continues up until in your fifties they're asking about your grandkids, and in your sixties, whether you've buried your husband. All of this is pretty rude, by my standards, but there it is.
So I've been solidly in the "Are you married?" class for some time, and was starting to move into "How many kids?", which was getting kind of alarming. However, last night, I went in to get my hair cut and got "Are you seeing anybody?". My initial conclusion was that I look younger with less hair. After some thought, however, I began to wonder if the implication was less "You're not old enough to be married" and more "You're probably a lesbian, so asking about marriage would be rude."
So I'm apparently either looking younger or gayer these days. I'm okay with either.
On a completely unrelated note, the cover on the light above my head appears to bear some impact markings, as if someone had sat at my desk and fired a BB gun up into the light. This seems really unlikely. But that's what it looks like.
