my hair

I hate my hair. I've known for a while that I'm going to have to cut it short. I've been putting it off because I like it long, but it's really looking like hell. I don't know if I've reached some point in my years or if it's the shampoo I'm using, but it's all frizzy and flyaway. It won't lie down. It looks like hell. I hate to shear it just because my shampoo is bad, but it's getting so thin that it might not look good anyway.

Cyn's been pushing me to get it cut, as far as she can without being impolite. She's probably only being polite because when we met she encouraged me by saying she liked long hair.

Last week, one of the gaming guys (who I don't like) showed up with his hair cut short. He had very long, very thick hair, but had trouble with it at his job, so off it went. It's bad enough all the comments I'd get about cutting it off, but then I'd also look like I was following his lead. At least I won't hear "did you get a girlfriend?" like he did. I'm thirty-nine years old, and I'm still annoyed by "oh you got a haircut, huh?" or "hey, new shoes!"

And I hate hearing how much better my new look is than my old one. Maybe it's one of those necessary evils, that reminds me I need to keep my look updated? By the way, did you know they still make aviator-style glasses? The woman at the glasses store told me the frames I had picked out were a good update. I wonder if she'd come up with a compliment for someone who chose aviators? No, she wouldn't. Anyway, when someone shows up looking much better than they used to, don't say so, just tell them they look good.

alphabetization

If you have a title of a publication, like a book or record, that is a person's name, do you alphabetize it last name first, or just go from the front?

Like, let's say you have a biography entitled John F. Kennedy. Would that go under J or K?
