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.)

The fact that I don't look like Dru? Or the fact that you subconsciously thought I did? *g*

The mental shift of not thinking of you as looking like Dru at exactly the same time as realising that I'd thought you did...
