i dont even know what the "gimme a 2' or 3 means, in relative to how short it is. my whole life whenever i get my haircut, i always tell them regular when they ask, and they just cut it. its been almost 2 yrs since my last haircut though, so its long as shit right now. i use a head band to pull it back a little so my hair isnt always in my face(pisses me the fuck off at school and work, or when its windy). its actually a beautiful december day here in MD, so no headband.
