Ah, the Winter Freakshow Project. What a project
indeed. Born when I was first accepted to Cal, I decided that I would
scare everyone when I got back to Hawaii. So I donned the blue hair,
bracelets, chokers, et al of the common Berkeley "freak." I learned
a lot from this project. Most of what I learned, my stories, and
all that came of this are covered in a yet to be posted January Bip Report.
How did this change come about? Well, let's see.

The first thing I had to do was bleach my hair.
I ended up bleaching it twice, but here is the first go at it. As
you can see, I am smiling for the camera. The next picture shows
Cindy (left) and Mariel (right) during the act of bleaching. And
the last picture is after. That information was provided in case
you can only read size 14 font, and not 12.
I was very pleased with the bleached hair for a while.
But it is very Mang-like, so maybe not.
Hi Mom! Hi Dad!
Many people asked me how my parents reacted. This
is the picture of their initial reaction. My Mom (to the right of
my head) looks very dismayed. My Dad (to the right of my Mom) is
laughing. This picture was taken by Priscilla. Nice shot.
My favorite however, is the guy standing to my right,
looking at me. Check out his expression. He is choke pissed.
Look at that guy. "Grrrr...damn kids!"
Me and Cody pose for the camera. Better lighting than the first
picture.
