Freaky Hairstyle and Fun Day

I currently look like I should be in a sixties tv show, where all the girls have hugely curly and exciting hair.

Seriously. Look at this:



Normally, my hair is thin, just past my shoulders, and DEAD STRAIGHT.

To achieve the effect you see above, I had to sleep with my hair in curlers, use a huge quantity of hairspray, spend the day dressed as a pirate, and then come home and comb it all out into the huge frizzy mess in the photo.


...oh, yeah, by the way - I spent the day dressed as a pirate.

In fact, I spent the day looking like this:




(Note the hoop earrings, the bare feet, the tight curls, and the SWORD.)


The reason for this madness… and the reason why I went to the supermarket dressed like that and carrying a sword… and the reason why, last night, I had to race down to my parents' house and frantically hide everything before my brother-in-law got there…

…was a surprise party. For the brother-in-law. A pirate themed surprise party.


Here, by the way, is Caleb, looking oh-so-cute-and-piratical:




We had costumes, and piratey games, and chocolate covered coins, and people saying "ARRR" with gusto. 'Twas fun.


…and now my hair looks insane.


Were I an ordinary person, I would possibly be shrieking, hiding my head under a paper bag, and running off to shampoo it back into a manageable state.
Because I am not a sensible person who thinks about how insanely complicated it would be to wrestle with these curls on a daily basis, I am instead trying to talk myself into getting a perm so that I can look this weird every day.

(Don't worry. I'll probably talk myself out of it again before I manage to get to the hairdresser.)

Ha! As someone who has to do a comparable amount of work to get my hair to be straight for an hour or two before it poofs back up again, I'm amused by your fascination with your hair this way. It looks cute on you! But take my word for it: oh, living with it....

Adorable toddler!pirate! Yay! Why do I not have pirate parties all the time?

Pirate parties are great! *has just discovered this*

My hair is seriously about as straight as hair could possibly be. (See, for instance, these photos.) This is SO WEIRD.
