I'm starting to have frustrations with my hair. Namely, with the way people consider and treat my hair color choices. They act as though this is just a whim I change based on whatever is going on around me, rather than a conscious choice I've made that perhaps reflects my personality or something I enjoy.
Within the last several days I've had people post comments on photos I've shared on various socnets suggesting "You should go green for St Patty's Day!" or "Maybe you should do this rainbow style for pride this year!" I'm not sure how to communicate to people that I'm not a party trick. I make mindful decisions about my hair. Just because I'm sporting an unorthodox color doesn't mean I'm just being a typical wacky person with no regard for their style or expression thereof.

Sounds like they need to dye their own hair if they feel so strongly about celebrations through hair color.

I feel like "I'm not a party trick" might actually cover it. It's one thing to say "hey, I really liked that one color you had that one time" and another to expect that you're going to be the hair version of the Google Doodle for their viewing pleasure. It's not for them.

"Since we're talking about hair, I also wax my pubes because they're annoying and try to cover up my glory... kinda like misinformed opinions"... Turn on the heel and pimp away.
