How can I control my life, when I can't control my hair?

This is a picture, in which i look a bit ridic (thanks for spreading that Lauren) with my new hair. i'm worried i look like im trying to be 'scene' with the dark hair and the nose ring, and i barely recognise myself. infact, one of my best friends walked straight past me today, and gave me an odd look due to my cheery smile and awkward wave. i hope i get used to it. i'm getting there! -this is the only photo i have right now!- i was hoping to feel more intelligent, sadly, i dont.
