well, heck. there seems to be some dispute about the color of my hair. alex says he would have never considered calling it red, and michael calls it auburn. in certain lights it certainly is browner than it used to be before i shaved it, and i think i'm still having trouble separating myself from my "long red hair" self-image (though that was exactly what that experiment was supposed to resolve). so now i'm feeling guilty about a craigslist description i wrote; i hope nobody holds it against me. at the moment i'm calling it "tarnished copper" as it seems to me to be the color of an old penny. hmm. :(
update 07.25.03: brian says my hair is, "in one word: auburn. in more words, the color one sees in late sunset when there's a forest fire to the west and the already-red light filters through the high trail of smoke from the unseen fire." *pauses* i can live with that. thanks, brian! :)
