I have had my hair to the point to where it was down to the bottom of my shoulder blades, and it was only an inch long 10 weeks earlier. At least I didn't go bald by 20 like my grandfather!
My hair is pretty short now, but grows ridiculously fast. I don't get why people treat me different. Everyone assumes I'm a stoner (which I'm not), a metal head (which I am, amongst many other things), and often they tend to back away from you because they are afraid you stink. Apparently long hair = B.O. to some people, even though I shave my arm pits out of the mere fear of smelling bad, I shower, comb/brush my hair, and keep clean religiously. The only reason I grow my hair out is I don't like having the same hair cut all the time.
Edit: 4,000 psts, w00t!!!!
