Unwanted Hair Cut

I was sitting around the house, bored and not doing much of anything, so Mom decided to take me to get my hair cut. I didn't realize this was her intention, so I went along, eager to do something different.

When we got to the location, I saw that it was a boat ramp, with several boats tied up to the side. The old lady who was to cut my hair was standing on one of these boats. Realizing why we were here, I paniced and said that I didn't want to do this.

Stepping off of the boat, I had released one of the ropes holding the boat, and had to lean over to reattach it. Fleeing the area, I soon joined a number of other people who were fleeing from someone. The view was like that in Super Mario RPG, and we looked like some of the various enemies in it. I was a 'scout'.

We hid in two closets that were attached to the main passage, the most in one and a few of us in the other.

I opened a closet inside of the closet and stuffed myself in, turning into a ball of fluff and then hiding under a bunch of sheets and comforters. Coming out after a while, the others in the closet were still there. I decided to leave, and found that those in the other closet had already done so.

Walking to my house, I saw a classmate, who commented that they had the same shirt I was wearing, ThinkGeek's Camel Code shirt. I was very surprised, thinking that no one in my class would have similar interests. I was then further impressed as they began to write a post to a message board about unix 'threads' while holding up weird pieces of thread.
