The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret

Hey everybody! I have found my old NTL imagestore. Look, look! Pictures of everybody looking young and slim and blond.

(I've always liked that picture of bacony because it captures the essence of Stephanie Mallory - enthusiastic, determined, and in flight.)

EDIT: Actually, the thought occurs that this icon is from about the same period. GBIV was, what, around 2002? Apropos of nothing, really...

Today I decided to ask my mum to cut my hair, because it went quite well last time and, I don't know, it's insanity week or something.

I would be lying if I said I was ecstatic with the results. It's still drying, so it may improve, but I reckon it's far too short and the ends are too thinned-out. Apparently she was going for a "layering effect" but got a bit too enthused - she's basically managed to faithfully recreate that horrible awkward stage where it's still growing out and it's too long to wear down but too short to look like anything but a pathetic ponytail wannabe if you tie it back. (Come to think of it, I seem to recall that while I was initially growing it out I had to keep having trims specifically to avoid a layering effect.)

So, yeah, not best pleased. I think next time a professional touch may be in order.

I'll get some pictures at some point, because I crave ridicule.
