This is a question The Soundtrack of your Life

First of a few methinks
One in particular is hideously gay.
"I've had the time of my life" - Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes.
Now let me make something very clear here. I fucking hate this song, it drives me up the bastard wall. But it reminds me of one night in particular - 14th May 2004. The day I left school, knowing I was moving away a couple of months later.

We'd had our leavers assembly (which was shit), and we'd all headed our seperate ways to get ready for the Leaving Do that night. Me and my best mate decided to make people laugh one last time, and both got our hair dyed, so people were somewhat shocked to see me appear with bright red hair. I still find that pretty damn funny.

So we get to the place where the Do is being hosted, and sit down for our meal. I had a miserable time, due to some stupid little bitch deciding to ruin my night on her friends behalf (but that's another boring story). As soon as the meal was done, I left the table, and avoided the bitch for the rest of the night.

Then, it comes time to fulfil a promise me and my mate Ed had made earlier in the year. A girl in our year had a massive crush on one of the lads, who was a good laugh, but his mates wouldn't let him near her, so while he was mildly interested, nothing ever came of it. Me and Ed had managed to get him to tell his mates to fuck right off, and he said he'd love to have a dance with her. This was originally intended to be a quiet thing, but everyone found out. Eventually it gets towards the end of the night, and the (twat of a) DJ invites the couple to the floor.

It was at this point I realised that this was going to be one of the last times I'd see my friends (I assumed I'd lose all contact after I moved), and as a result I shouted over the music to them "one last photo?", and tossed my camera to one of the teachers. We all lined up against the wall, smiling, but all knowing what would happen when the teacher counted down for us, she counted, and like a million times before, we did our thing. Unfortunately that photo went missing not long after. (It was stored on another friends PC, who soon turned out to be an utter cunt, and he deleted every photo I had from that night.)

So now every time I hear that song, I'm transported back to the Private Suite at the JJB stadium in Wigan, standing next to my friends, gurning like an utter twat.

Marvellous.

that's not bright red

It's not a great pic
But it did go full on ginger within about 3 weeks.

I dyed my hair bright red at uni
and despite my protestations at the time, within 3 weeks it was really pink.

If I had hair like that
I'd lock myself in my room and play 'When September Ends' over and over again as I think it would suit my mood :0)

You'd need hair first.
