High school girlfriend, upon finding out that I liked hip-hop, tried to turn me onto DC Talk.
I think I was most frequently playing the Geto Boys at that time.

This is from summer 1998, I think, right after I'd graduated from HS.

The girl is one of the handful of HS friends I still see regularly.
Also, it's pity the pic is in B&W, because otherwise you'd see that my shirt is orange. Ah, the 90s!

OMG Skot, I had to study that first grade picture for several seconds to make sure that it was not MY first grade picture.

These are both from the summer of 1996 which was technically after my freshman year in college but I was only 18 so that's kind of like HS.

It appears I made a lot of questionable fashion/hair color/style choices that summer. Wau.

Wasn't 1996 a prime Melrose Place fashion year? I remember Y necklaces and flower prints being huge.

I love how fucking IMPORTANT hair color is to high school kids. It was to me anyway.

Oh yeah, she was kind of a bitch but could be pleasant at times. We shared a lollipop once. She couldn't handle the revolution though.

I have located a dusty old photograph that proves I once had hair. Fourteen or fifteen?

weirdly, i didn't know much about the weddoes at that point -- they were a name and that was about all. a coupla months later, i would become obsessed with them ... because a dude in my english class had a picture of gedge on his folder and i said: "who's that? he looks fucking ace."
this is suggesting all manner of subconscious inferences with which i'm not comfortable AT ALL :o

I'm trying to figure out what's on your T-shirt, the table.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 January 2008 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link
probably some grindcore band shirt ;)
― elan, Monday, 14 January 2008 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link
ned, it is this band:
http://creeprecords.bigcartel.com/account/10866/76964/175.jpg
they weren't grindcore. more like...i dunno, frustrated pseudopolitical punk to get drunk and dance around to. not 77 punk...more orange county sounding. their early records with a gal singin are actually fuckin great hardcore.
oh, i jsut remembered i'm thanked in that album above.! my first.
