Immediately upon entering the house, my cousin said, "You look weird.". I'm sure he meant it as an insult as he's a brat, however, I truthfully replied, "I am weird."
Actually, I did look weird.
I had a red mohawk with black and red coon-tailed bangs, and the sides of my head were blonde with black zebra stripes. I had a few tattoos, but my mouth was pretty much made of metal. Two monroes, two lower lip piercings, and two tongue piercings. And I'm sure I was dressed like some sort of scrub punk.
Anyway, my Aunt pretty much told me that I could have 2 more years to look strange and then I should start being normal.
I don't think I'll be able to manage that one.
I mean, I can pull off looking really quite normal... but let's do a run-through of past looks, shall we?
Fifteen - this was the last time I had long hair.
Sixteen - aw, look how normal!
Seventeen summer - cat orange hair, still pretty normal.
Seventeen winter - purple hair, contacts, getting weird.
Seventeen winter - pink-orange hair, it looks like a bob, but the whole back was about 2 inches all over and I had my tongue pierced. Stranger.
Seventeen spring - back to brown, but in that scene phase everyone seemed to have.
Seventeen spring - ah, the mohawk. My hair still has yet to fully recover from that.
Eighteen summer - the chelsea. I was the only girl at Culver with hair above my shoulders.
Eighteen fall - my second mohawk, purple. Angelbites. Definitely a bit odd.
Eighteen winter - yes. this was weird.
Eighteen winter - but this was rad.
Eighteen spring - a little less odd.
Nineteen summer - and then I had a wig and no piercings and looked really quite normal.
Nineteen fall - and then I didn't. Also, I didn't have eyebrows either.
Nineteen fall - at all.
Nineteen winter - but then my hair was blonde and I looked kind of normal again.
Nineteen spring - despite the bed head (which wasn't actually bed-head, it was styled), I look rather normalish here.
Nineteen summer - and then my hair was back to... it's normal colour, although shaved at the back and sides. More tattoos. Same nose piercing.
Twenty summer - blunt bangs, I looked cute.
Twenty fall - longer hair, looking pretty normal for the scene.
Twenty halloween - still rocking a growing out undercut.
Twenty winter - blunt bangs, ponytail, undercut, nosering.
Twenty winter - I think I look like Emma Watson, so I copied her pixie cut. The most normal I looked in years.
Twenty winter - I like this picture and hairstyle.
Twenty spring - pixie, nose piercing, stretching my ears out. I think this look was a good balance.
Twenty-one fall - my hair grew out all summer, and then my roommate cut it for me. Bleached eyebrows, tattoos, and check out those nearly 5/8 plugs in my ears.
Twenty-one fall - became obsessed with blink-182 for the first time since I was 9 and pierced my lip like Tom's way back when.
Twenty-one fall - blonde hair and proper 5/8 inch octopus plugs.
Twenty-one fall - mint green and blonde hair, getting longer.
Twenty-one fall - it doesn't look much different, but it's a new haircut, inspired by Tank Girl.
Twenty-one fall - briiight mint green and my mullet has become long enough for a ponytail.
Twenty-one winter - back to white blonde and the front was long enough for a pompadour!
Twenty-one winter - loving Yo-Landi Vi$$er has lead me to cut blunt bangs and bleach my eyebrows.
Same
Same
Twenty-one winter - I love Lisbeth Salander.
Twenty-one winter - and then I remembered I have extensions.
Twenty-one winter - but I don't always wear them. Or shirts. But I did get my tongue and lip pierced.
Twenty-one winter - vertically. Through my philtrum. Which is called a Jestrum. Or, a vertical philtrum piercing. It took a whole week for the swelling to go down.
Twenty-one winter - my hair is strange and brown and I play in the mud.
Twenty-one winter - I've decided to start colouring my eyebrows fun colours. Like pink.
Twenty-one winter - And turquoise. Tomorrow will be blue.
I need to cut my hair. Probably today.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably always going to be the family weirdo, but I'm pretty okay with it because I really like how I look, and other people seem to as well. Which is nice, but not required.
Anyway, this has been a picture post.
