grins So, this chemical mix I created turned my hair bright pink! I looked like a clown from a parade!
laughs, but with a hint of amusement Bright pink hair? That's one hell of a story. And you say this happened in college?
laughs Yeah, during a chemistry class gone wrong. The professor had me running around campus with pink hair!

laughs Basically, yeah. Got quite the reaction from everyone though!
