This was my Grade 11 High School I.D. photo. It’s not gorgeous, but I wasn’t about gorgeous in High School. I didn’t really fit in very well at the Catholic High School, either. There was this one guy who had a penchant for acting threatening towards me when he was surrounded by his peers. Such bravado!
I remember one morning where I was running late. (I hated being late, but especially for school. I didn’t like the whole catch-up thing, and didn’t like wasting my time or the teacher’s. Yes, I was a little punk, but I wasn’t a total jerk.) I hustled up to the door, grabbed the handle, and just as I was pulling it open, this guy from behind me says: “Hey! You, with the funny hair. If I ever saw you in the bush, I’d fucking kill you!” followed by laughter.
I let go of the door, let it slide back into place, then turned my head slowly to the right. I looked straight at the little bugger. Raising my right, index finger to my forehead, I said: “Then you’d better get me right here, asshole, ’cause you’re only gonna get one shot.” After that, I opened the door and continued to walk through.
I saw that guy later that same day. He was walking and laughing with a friend of his. I looked at him and smirked. He literally blanched, then turned and walked the other way. Kind of funny, actually.

I would have loved HS you. :) I love you-you too!
*squishy hugs*
Thank you, Mega! I love you-you, too! ♥
My daughter wants hair like this. :-) You were ahead of your time my friend.
My youngest Elfling wants this hair, too, especially purple. =0)
It’s only hair… ♥
haha you’re awesome!!
Thank you, my friend. ♥
Wish I could have such a good hair day!
hehe… It was soap, my friend. ♥
You are looking kind of cool, yeah! So like the singer of The Exploited: so, so cool & hip! I am jealous of your previous hair!! ;)
Thank you, my friend. ♥
It has many good memories for me. ♥
Great come back!
lol… he did not agree. I think he was hoping for trembling or tears. ;0)
*snap*!!! We had matching hair!!!!!!!!! *screams excitedly* Yay, Veggiewitch!!!!
Sadly, at my private girls school I wasn’t allowed to gel it, colour it, or in any way draw attention without ‘detention’, so my undercut got covered up, and my hair flopped every which way instead.
Pooh to mean dumb boys. I wonder if he found his humanity yet?
That’s super-cool! Undercuts are lovely and mushroomy when they flop down! ♥
I’m familiar with detentions, too. /sigh
<3 it!!!
Thank you, Cookie-Mama!
I ♥ you!
Woohoo!! That story made my day. I wish I’d had those lady balls in high school.
*squishy hugs*
Thank you, my friend. ♥
You are my new hero!!
Awwwwe… thank you, my friend. ♥
I WORSHIP that photo and the high school you!!!
Thank you very much, my friend. ♥
We would have been friends in high school. :)
I agree. ♥
VW,
FTW! You’re fucking awesome my friend. Back then though, I would have been scared shitless by you.

LC,
Thank you, my friend. Truly, I was 105lbs of purple and blue spikes. Squishy, soap-formed spikes, too. ♥
VW
Your pic rocks, seriously! I think we woudl have gotten along in high school… ;)
Excellent! ♥
Welcome, thank you, and super-glad to see you here.
*happy dancing*
I love it! Your line reminds me of something Clint Eastwood would say! Great story — great hair!
Thank you, my friend. ♥
I have a secret love for Dirty Harry. ♥
Awesome hair! And good for you for standing up to that little p****. Bullys really don’t know what to do when someone actually stands up to them. Too bad more kids aren’t willing to try :(
Absolutely! …and thank you, my friend. ♥
Oh VeggieWitch! Your story tickles me so!!! We kind of have matching hair… well you in this photo and me now. I have an undercut too, but it’s really more of a flophawk (floppy mohawk!) tee hee. Such a great little antic! Also, I want to do a little art exchange, so when you get the chance, make your way over to my blog and check it out! Can’t imagine doing it with out you!!!
Beautiful! I really do love the flophawk, as well. I usually wore mine either up (with soap) or teased and mushroom-cloudy. ♥
Running to your blog directly, my friend. ♥
Sounds like you had some spunk in highschool. :) Boy am I glad I’m done with highschool though. :)
High School was an adventure, and much better than Middle/Junior High School. THAT was horrendous! I’m glad for you that you are glad HS is done, too. ♥
Fun pic! My high school days were way before yours. No spiked hair, not even pants allowed for girls. We had to wear skirts or be sent home. what a drag! But back then it was the norm.
Thank you, my friend.
No doubt. =0)
Sadly, another Russel Ray camping trip comes to an end………………..
