life after it all

so on my new desk is a pick of me from the fall (or south african spring) of 2003 on a road trip  in South Africa with Bevin, tom and Liz.  (This was before we met Heike and while we still didn't like doing things with Rachel or Matt).  We are on our way back into town from Hermanus (I think) and we had pulled over to take some pics.  In this picture, I'm out in the middle of the road with my arms outstretched showing how small the road is (I also did this in Ireland in 1999 and 2002).  My point in mentioning this is that I look blond.  Like I'm not kidding.  I have my hair in pigtails and I look like I have dark blond/light brown hair.  When I was 21 I did dye my hair dark blond, but I dont "really" remember doing this again in 2002.  I could do a few things to check this out (because I can't go back to Newfoundland to look at the rest of the photos from South Africa in 2002/3).  I could email Jonathan who met me at this time and ask him if I had light hair (and we all know hes a) an ass and b) has the memory of a sieve), or ask Bevin if she has a pic of me from this time (or this day) and can confirm my light hair.

Why am I so concerned?  Because I've been toying with the idea of lightening my hair come March for the summer.
