Short hair

Have you ever tried taking pictures of yourself and they all end up looking really weird? That's what happened to me tonight, while I tried to take pictures of my new hair cut to post here and to send to my family directly. I took about 20 pictures of myself and I only feel that 2 or 3 actually look like me or don't look super nerdy/dumb.

Let me remind you of pre-hair cut hair:This was taken a couple weeks ago at my Grandpa's house.

Here are the pictures after which I modeled my new hair cut:Jodi Foster, in her new movie called "The Brave One".The hair dresser was very accommodating to my hair cut requests and did a very nice job replicated Jodi Foster's hair. Do you agree? Here are the pictures of myself that I thought weren't super nerdy (one of which is from an early birthday social gathering tonight):
I like this last picture better than the first one - once I figured out that I should put my hair behind my ears, it seemed to look more normal. Anyway, I've been on the fence about whether I like it, although lots of other people seem to think it looks great. I think once I get more used to it I'll like it more. And tomorrow morning will be the test as to whether I can style it on my own.
