a bit of context to my one: guy in the middle is more or less my best friend, guy on the right I hardly see ever. it was taken at a birthday party for two mutual friends on the HMS Wellington, a boat-turned-party-venue moored somewhere along the Thames. as i said on my facebook photos page, i look like a jester whose joke-sheet has just blown out the window.
roxy and jordan had it far better off when in the grips of adolescence, for they are cutesy and wholesome, as opposed to some of us who couldn't shake off grease/spots/paunches/bad specs for love nor money.

Also, didn't teachers yell at you for having your nose buried in some novel during their classes?
In a word, no. This is because I was mostly acing the classes without even trying. My parents told me later that apparently at least one of my history instructors -- who noted that I was usually just reading books where I was sitting in class (in the front row, at that) -- kept trying to trip me up by asking questions about the current subjects. Allegedly I would look up, give the answer and then go back to my reading. I honestly don't remember that at all -- just that I read a lot!

Generally yeah!

Book in question: Gravity's Rainbow.)

oh i am just going to give it away: i was at an anime club. wow embarrassing.
some kids tried to hook me into magic the gathering, but as a kid who NEVER had money, i just got their cast off cards, i think i only ever paid $2 total for my cards, and was whupped over and over until i quit one day and never looked back.
however i definitely played D&D! for WAAAAAYYYY too long (read: until i moved to montreal abt 2 years ago). but that is NOT embarrasssing becuase it was basically a bunch of great dudes hanging out and occasionally playing games but mostly making funny jokes.
MANY XXXXXXPOSTS it was not quiz bowl, they didn't havei t in Canada, BUT we had Reach For The Top which is the same tihng, i think, and I was on that team!!!!!

i don't know, looking that much like your mom at 14 is kind of awful. i mean, i had big indie-rock glasses and listened to crust-punk, which is equally embarassing, but in a completely different way.
i must say, tho, it is kind of cute. and everyone in that pic has a winning smile.

We were happy cause we were in fucking Mexico. lol.
Yeah it's just the same hair same glasses etc. that freaks me out. I was a really young 14 year old though and didn't really start doing my own thing for like another year after this. I just didn't realize quite how much of a clone I was until I found this a couple weeks ago.

i think given her druthers my mom would have dressed me just like her, too. she would always suggest i buy stuff she would wear when we went shopping. i don't think it was sinister, just a lack of imagination.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 30 June 2011 00:50 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah see I think her mini-me from from birth to 15 sort of made me go off the deep end which is how I wound up with purple hair and dressed in head to toe thrifted polyester stuff a year later. Also NAVGL but in a diff way entirely.
Also why were those glasses so big?! I blam Sally Jesse.

well i dunno if she made him dress like her but i though it was common knowldge/possible urban legend that hemingways mom used to dress him in girls clothes till he was 10! it is one of those things you say and nod knowingly as if it explains a lot about hemingway. which, well, it maybe does.

IIRC back in the 19th century, probably in the early 20th century too, it was pretty common to dress both little girls and little boys in frilly clothes that may look "girlish" to someone living today. The idea that boys should dress "masculine" and totally different from girls right from the start wasn't around yet. So I don't know if Hemingway's and his sister's clothes were that different from the standards of the era.

school trips seemed to be my steez tho, that's how I met my bf in my final year of hs. also a year younger than me. also similarly complexioned to the other crush, and was kind of good friends with him except I didn't find that out til later. lol. so we got all bff-y and I crushed super hard, and THEN, I found out when we got back from the trip that he was kind of seeing a friend of mine. I had no idea about that at all until we all got drunk at a party, and ended up sitting in her driveway, her, him, and me basically roundtabling who he should go out with. O_o
we were together for maybe 6 months but then I got accepted to uni and was moving out of home and 2 hours away, and he wanted to call it quits so I could sow my wild oats. which never got sown except when I was drunk so it was kind of a pointless exercise.
he was cool tho. probly the first guy i ever felt like i loved? he told me in a teary drunk phone conversation the night before I moved to the us permanently that I was the only girl he had ever loved. which is maybe cliche to say out loud but felt v true at the time. we stayed friends, and still keep in touch in a very vague happy birthday once a year way. oddly enough he ended up marrying a girl with the same name as me

I just remembered doing a high school play which ended in this long convoluted scene which featured a lot of minor actors who weren't part of the main rehearsals. One of them screws up and says a line that's like 3 pages down in the script, then the other actors follow suit, essentially skipping like five minutes of the play. The problem is my character is supposed to be off stage at this point, I think he winds up getting poisoned or something (this was a black comedy), but I'm just standing there in the center, not knowing what to do. So after a minute there's a pause in the dialogue and I yell out "Aaah! I'm having a heart attack!!", stumble backwards and fall as far back towards the scenery as I can, so I can be out of everyone's way. This of course greatly confuses both the audience and everyone on stage, and as a result they botch the dialogue yet again, and the play sort of abruptly ends a couple minutes later. Man do I wish someone had filmed that. Funny enough everyone "blamed" me (blame in quotes because almost everyone thought it was hilarious) even though it was really some bit actor, not that I wanted to throw him under the bus. Anyway, there's my cool high school story no one asked for.
