I Sadly Lack An Appropriate Song To Quote Here

I don't know where the idea came from - possibly from having to wear my hair up for work - but I'm wondering suddenly if I want to do something different with my hair. Not cut it off! I had short short short hair (like, barely touched my ears) up until high school, and I look /awful/ with it. My mom's been saying for months, after I mentioned something about a girl in my dorm, that I should donate my hair to Locks of Love or something. And I don't know - I could probably cut off enough to donate and still have long hair - as it is now it's almost? waist length - but I'm not sure I want to cut off even that much. I /like/ my ridiculously, impractically long hair.

So I'm thinking more in terms of styling it differently, I guess? Maybe wearing it up some of the time, or back, or /something/, I don't even know, or dyeing more or less of it  - I have streaks in the front now, blue-tinted bleach colored (which strangely looks better than it sounds) and soon to be purple again (probably - that's the color dye I have at moment, anyway), but when she's not trying to get me to cut it off my mom keeps trying to convince me to dye /all/ of my hair some weird color.

Point of the rambling, dash abusing post being - anyone have any suggestions for what I could do with my hair? Or should I just ignore the impulse until it goes away and leave my hair as is?
