I turn 37 in three days, and I'm much disturbed by the gray hairs along my hairline. It's not like they'll get smaller, or shorter... I'm too young for this! Actually, a friend from jr. high who turned up on facebook said I looked much the same as I did when I was younger, which was gratifying - I don't think I look anywhere near 37, aren't people like that old? I don't feel as old as I thought I should to be this old, either.
I've been contemplating dyeing my hair again, which is abhorrent, as I've only recently finally grown out all the old dye. But the gray hair thing really does freak me out. My mom was totally gray by 45 (and at the rate these are coming, I'm not hoping for much better)... and has proceeded to use home dye kits for the last many years. Unfortunately, it usually leaves her hair an odd shade of purpleish-brown. Once it was pink. Sometimes you gotta give in and pay the professionals...
Anyway. 37! It's not old, but some part of me is going, damn, you're almost 40! What the hell?
