Asymmetry

So I've noticed something rather interesting this morning. It appears that the hair on one side of my head grows at a slightly faster pace then the hair on the other side. Either that or my head is partially lopsided, and I've just never taken notice. Come to think of it, it's never really occurred to me to check before.

Wouldn't that be tragic? Going through life with a partially lopsided head and never noticing. Everywhere I go having people whispering excitedly behind my back in a stark British accent, "Look! There she is Margaret! That's the girl I was telling you about. The one with the partially lopsided head, the poor dear. I wonder if she knows." Yet everyone would be afraid to tell me, so I would never find out. The British are so polite in that regard. Though I'm told that ignorance is bliss, so I would assume it wouldn't make any difference in the end now, would it?

But I've a feeling it's not my head that's partially lopsided after all, which I find rather fortunate. But then again I'm particularly biased on this issue, so you really shouldn't believe anything I have to say on the matter. All I ask is that if my head is indeed slightly off kilter that you'll be kind and not judge me for it. After all, it's not my fault, now is it?

On a more encouraging note, I'll be getting my hair cut this weekend. If that does nothing to address the problem at hand, then I just suppose I'm doomed to an ignorant life of bliss.
