the hair question---again

I have let my hair grow for well over a year---it is well below my shoulders---and, well (okay---enough of the use of the word 'well')---i'm bored.

• not gonna perm it----I like healthy hair
• the color is mine---and its a beautiful blonde with white (lol) highlights
• I like pulling it up in braids or loose ponytails
• I hate sweating around my hairline
• its getting hot here
• i'm using hair chalk---quirky and fun---which is perfect
• I really miss my pixie cut---but then I'd be called 'sir' at driveups
• having long hair is a 'quirky' cut for me---because people are used to my short hair

so----what do ya think?
