feeling listless

Hair! I've started cutting my hair really short. I used to have swathes of it, but what with the new job and everthing I won't have time to go to the barbers. I believe I now have a 'number eight', which feels about as long as my eyebrows. The unfortunate effect is on my image to other people, especially about town. With my frame I now look somewhat 'hard' or 'spoiling for a rumble' - and I'm not that kind of person. So if you see me in a pub, please don't try it on. I couldn't take your laughter when I try and slap you like a girl...
