In late 1995 I came to school and decided a haircut was in order. I told my friend to cut it off at the ponytail during homeroom and I think about 6 inches came off leaving me with shoulder length hair.

A few things I remember about this event:

Later in the day a boy in my maths class told me how crazy and spontaneous the whole thing was. I asked if he had ever done anything as spontaneous before and he said he had, he put tomato sauce on his 2 minute noodles once to try it out.

My Mum squealing when picked me up from the bus stop. My Deb Ball was 6 months away and she was worried my hair wouldn't grow long enough to wear up to the event. I was a total rebel.
