Oh, brother

That picture was taken *thinks* gosh, I'd have to say at least five or six years ago on the day that I dyed my brother's mow hawks green without telling my mom. Wow was she surprised ;o) Thats not to say that she was upset, you know being my mother and all. I put her through so much hair-color wise (example! I was 14 in this picture, seems like a lifetime ago) that although she flinched she was pretty stoic about it. My brother and I had so much fun with his hair during this phase of his life and while I was unpacking some boxes tonight I found the framed duplicate of that picture. Of course its in color but for some reason the one on my computer is not. Who knows why anymore really.

My little brother was completely incapable of doing his own mow hawks and I hadn't reached the peak of my rebellion yet and as such my friends-with-crazy-hair phase hadn't quite begun so I was forced to do his hair the only way I could think to: a fresh bottle of Suave Hair Spray and a very old hair dryer. It took me literally about two hours to get his hair to stand up that way and I'd end up with hair spray on my fingers for days. In the months following this picture we dyed his hair pink (the same color as in that picture of me), pink & green, yellow etc. I think that this was when the first eccentric sparks of his unique personality were really born. It takes alot of...gumption....to wear hair like this. Whatever. Now that he's totally normal, I miss his crazy hair.

I miss mine too though. I really do. I went from this crazy pink-hair girl with her tongue pierced to quiet shy me who works in a straight-laced Veterinary Hospital. Screw 9-5's! I went for the 7:30-6pm! Sometimes I can't believe that I am where I am, that I do what I do and that I am, for the most part, happy doing it. I do miss my crazy life as the girlfriend of rockband Jeremy though. It was so much fun, dirty at times, but so fun.

As an aside, I have finished editing the novel I wrote and also just finished reading The DaVinci Code and since I have 2 1/2 hour lunches I really need something else to read. Any suggestions?
