I HATE the color gray!

I have decided that I hate the color gray (or depending on how weird you are...the color "grey"). I use to be completely indifferent about gray. I actually kindof liked gray, but now I am having a hard time with the hue. Why, you ask? Because I am seeing gray in places it should NOT be.

Example A: Today, as I was preparing to take a shower (yes, I bathe) I happen to catch a glimpse of something NOT black in my hair. Sigh. I found not one, not two, but THREE gray hairs on the crown of my head. This is a very disconcerting discovery. I am 24, soon to be 25, and in my slightly off-balanced mind, you are not suppose to get more than one or two gray hairs until you are significantly past 25.

I think finding gray hairs wouldn't have bothered me so much if I didn't have such dark hair. I mean, it's a little difficult to miss grayish-white strands waving to the world from the top of a jet black head of hair. Why don't I just color my hair, you ask? Well, that's the other issue I am having problems with.

See, I'm really lazy when it comes to getting my hair cut, so I don't know if I would keep up with my hair color like I should. Then on the other side of the coin, once I start getting my hair colored, I might want to be militant about keeping up with my roots, etc. And, as we all know, getting your hair colored is expensive. I'm a teacher--I don't have that kind of dough....the kind of dough I would want to spend to make the fro look nice.

Do you see the dilemma? I do lead a tragic life.
