Dyeing - a Martyr to my Hair

On October 30th 2006, the day before Halloween, I will be dyeing my hair magenta for charity. The charity is PRIMHE, who provide primary healthcare for sufferers of mental illness & depression. This blog is a diary of how things are going for me, how things are going for the fundraising, and also, the people who help me along the way. PRIMHE is a registered charity, number 1087275

NOVEMBER 7 - DISADVANTAGES

So far, my only problem with this beard and this colour, is that I've met a really nice girl, who I'm dying to ask out (dyeing, ha ha!), but she's only known me with a beard. She doesn't know that beneath this beard is a non-beardy!
I can't imagine that a big pink beard can be much of a turn-on for sane intelligent beautiful girls, so I'm a little worried about making myself look ridiculous by trying to ask.
Anyway, let's see! Who could resist this:

?

My god, I'm handsome! What a nose!

(Who'd have thought that it's been broken twice!)

    Dearest Christopher,

    I really don't think I deserve any praise for this at all, but thank you so much all the same.
    Family and friends have been great through this so far, and so have so many people who have chosen to donate.
    To everyone: thank you so much.
    I'm just here to promote the cause, but it's all of you who should take the applause for contributing.
    I do feel a little uncomfortable with people's praise. Especially as I've been a little untruthful through this whole thing. When people have asked me about my motivation for this project, I've said that it's because so many friends and family have been affected by depression. But that's not the whole truth. The whole truth is that I suffer too, and I hate it. At the moment, wanting to do this, I want to seem strong and helpful to others, so have been keeping quiet about my darker moments, when explaining to people. But the truth is that I'm rather fragile myself, and I hate the idea of other people feeling alone when they are having troubles. I think I've found my way of dealing with my brain when it goes a little sideways. I really hope that I, and PRIMHE can help people who haven't found their comfort yet.

    Lucky (?) Lady will remain anonymous in case she visits the blog.
    But I can't imagine that she'd ever find this beard inticing!

    I like that you've been swept up in this beard. You're probably learning a bit with it all.
