Angel Haze is my hero (DJP), Friday, 4 January 2013 14:51 (thirteen years ago)

Are you wearing a Global Hypercolor shirt?

earth of (snoball), Friday, 4 January 2013 14:53 (thirteen years ago)

I wasn't entirely sure. It could have just been a trick of the light.

how's life, Friday, 4 January 2013 14:53 (thirteen years ago)

xp: that is, in fact, a free t-shirt I got after taking a tour at Unysis

Angel Haze is my hero (DJP), Friday, 4 January 2013 14:55 (thirteen years ago)

oh god i just realized that those are biker shorts. this might be my greatest high school fad fail ever.

facile cliff (jjjusten), Friday, 4 January 2013 16:20 (thirteen years ago)

mullet - check
mesh hastings high school football practice jersey - check
blue and black bike shorts - check
zebra print vans - check
impossible to tell but this might have been a time where i was wearing a pewter dragon claw holding a prism - jury still out, but odds are high

facile cliff (jjjusten), Friday, 4 January 2013 16:22 (thirteen years ago)

also i think i see a friendship bracelet there on the foreground wrist

facile cliff (jjjusten), Friday, 4 January 2013 16:24 (thirteen years ago)

stylin' in my Waldsee hat

omg friendship bracelets, I really should have been selling those things (every time I see them in a mall store or a street vendor I think about how obsessed I was with making them)

Never gonna happen #1:

Summer 1988. Hi J, yeah - I'll meet you at the pub. I'll have been playing tennis all morning so I won't change or anything, but that won't be embarrassing or anything, will it?

Never gonna happen #2:

Late summer 1988. Oceanographic lab, 3rd year of degree, terrible jumper. Boy, I really hope S doesn't have a boyfriend or something by the time I see her again at Xmas. Oh.

much too non-embarrassing, gtfo

mookieproof, Saturday, 5 January 2013 01:25 (thirteen years ago)

There was never a camera around when I was drunk. Because why? Because this all happened back when you had to take film to a developer and it was expensive so you didn't waste film on being wasted. But I'll try to dig up something for ya mook.

Aimless, Saturday, 5 January 2013 01:30 (thirteen years ago)

Aimless = super-suave.

Though I was wasting film on being wasted all the way into the mid-2000s.

For mookieproof, I present the following semi-embarrassing photo of me in 1970, aged 15 y.o. Here I am comically threatening my brother who is taking the pic. We carefully staged all of our pics on this trip.

friday goodness thank it's (flamboyant goon tie included), Saturday, 5 January 2013 21:11 (thirteen years ago)

Not to mention that I stand higher in VG's estimation than does brocolli! Maybe higher than cauliflower, too!

Aimless, Saturday, 5 January 2013 21:15 (thirteen years ago)

I looooove how nature photos erase time. That photo could've been taken earlier today!

bish borscht (La Lechera), Saturday, 5 January 2013 21:27 (thirteen years ago)

Being held by my cousin, 1970, North Carolina. Probably about 6-7 months old.

Now that I am a man, I have put away childish things. Excepting the occasional ironic revisitation

You are all so cute!!

Still one of my closest friends. People always thought we were or should be dating (I was one of those people at the time), but alas.

It just occurred to me that having a Santa visit a high school cafeteria might be strange.

New Years Eve 1990: Punk was hours from breaking. Some of us could sense it.

I am not in this 1947 photo, but my brother-in-law is (lower left). It is such a cool picture I couldn't resist posting it and this seemed like the best thread for it.
