I wear a lot of black because I have absolutely no "dress sense" so
with black at least I know the clothes will sort of go together.

Interesting point of view. I never cut my hair at all because it saves

It's not about wanting to be different, or to be like the others who

compulsory recurring trivialities so that one can choose how to spend
each day's wasted time quota.
