Buzz cut

[NoNo]

I think it looks cool! There's a woman at work who has a buzz cut, and she's very involved with breast cancer fundraisers. One day my former boss asked "Do you think she had cancer?" "I don't know, maybe." "I think she did. She has that 'survivor' look to her." So maybe you should stop calling it a "buzz" and start calling it "The Survivor"!

I love the fact that my earrings are now out there and not hiding any more. I have some wild pairs that are going to get a lot more outings than they did. They also tend to soften the look - as do the hats.

If the amount of 1 inch hairs stopping up the drain in the shower this morning is any indication, I'd better not get terribly used to this cut. I'll be bald as an egg pretty darn soon. Nope, not my self-image at all.

As for the whole survivor thing. Um, the word brings to mind that famous statue of the tired Indian on the half-dead horse, both obviously having been through Hell several times. I want to come out the other side looking better than that. I'm liking the term Cancer Conquerer. It's more take-charge, less victim-ish. I will NOT be a victim.

How about cancer's a$$ kicker. That's what I call my sister.

Best of luck to you and I seriously love your attitude. Kick its butt!

At which point you can adopt the song " I will survive" and sing it between cheers for Towanda the cancer conqueror.

Fight fight fight, rage against the night.

I'm turning my prayer bike wheels for you.
