Why the hell?

(~2000-ish)

It started here, one boring night in long-ago 2000. And it got worse. Believe it or not, none of us indulged in any sort of mind-altering chemicals. And this still happened.

Where it all began

So, one may be wondering, why the hell does Jen have her hair in a braid on the right, and a ponytail on the left? The answer is simple - two bored male roommates. They managed to not pull my hair too much. As to why the below picture is upside down... well, it got taken that way, and I rather like it for some reason.

Upside down

This is Jeff's handiwork...

The left side...

While this is Richard's (along with a crazy gleam in my eye)...

The right side

This 10-minute exploit inspired me, for some reason that is rather unfathomable now, to put both sides of my hair up in pigtails :

The pigtails

And that's where things got scary. Jeff started it, to be accurate, but Richard and I continued it. Jeff mumbled about needing a plaid skirt and knee-high socks to dress me up in, which made us all laugh until I mentioned that some of Richard's boxers would look skirt-ish on me. Jeff started clapping and jumping up and down, and these are what resulted. They're terrible pictures, and normally I'd have them supressed for the good of humanity; yet they're so amusing that I simply have to have them somewhere. If I'm going to be humiliated on the internet, it will be my own doing!
