I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the lol college thread, but either way, what I used to look like is: "kind of depraved."

I thought bangs were boobs until someone disabused me a few years ago.

ENBB my sister had hair just the same -- glossy, thick shiny, dead straight...I think she may have even had the same hairdresser, lol!

I presume you're tackling him for his lederhosen, no?

Opened a box a few weeks ago with my senior HS yearbook in it. I didn't really look much like this in high school, I don't think. (For one thing no idea where the jacket or tie came from for this pic, since as far as I recall we had none of those anywhere in our house.)

Were you kidnapped and held against your will at any point?

Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 16 December 2010 03:13 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm feeling the striped shirt/diagonally striped tie tho..

Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 16 December 2010 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link

More entertaining is this picture a friend sent me recently of the band we used to be in. I'm in the back, in the, um, anarchy shirt. But without a mullet, at least...

Jesse, you are super cute in your helmet on your little tricycle ramp.

Tipsy, was it a fake shirt/jacket/tie combo? I think I remember for my senior portrait having to put on some fake-tux looking thing over my regular clothes.

Auto Mall Maniac (kkvgz), Thursday, 16 December 2010 12:51 (thirteen years ago) link

I have no memory of the photo being taken, so anything's possible. More likely is maybe something borrowed from a more respectable friend.

What year is that? Clothes and haircuts look very like the time I spent in the U.K. ca. 1979.

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 16 December 2010 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link

that's probably about 1983 so not far off

So glad facebook was invented so that I can pillage other people's photo collections to find pictures of myself (I never keep pictures)

You were a braver little boy than I ever was. I didn't (and still don't) run from snakes or anything, but hell no I'm not picking one up.

Dr. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 13 January 2011 08:07 (thirteen years ago) link

b/w ages of about 4-10, I read & endlessly fascinated by all manner of reptiles, amphibians, fish & insects (& spiders, until I got bit by a nasty one). Thankfully I grew up in an area which, while still def the suburbs, was nestled among a diversity of ecosystems that supplied me w/ ample opportunities to indulge my passion. ftr I never killed anything (save for what I kept for my butterfly & moth collection), tho I had a revolving collection of 'temporary pets' throughout my childhood.

Oddly, even tho I can barely remember what I did last week, I still have a detailed memory of the taxonomy of all those creepy crawly things.

In 1980 (age 6), I was on a local afternoon kids tv show. This was before the family had a vcr, so when it came on tv, my dad set up his camera and took some photos (which makes it look like it's from the '50s). I'd love to get a tape of it now, but there's no way that rinky dink little Public Television station saved all (or any of) those tapes.

Also Siouxsie shirt photo? CUTE!

VegemiteGrrrl, Thursday, 13 January 2011 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link

Well, I was busted in 1988 shoplifting an Aerosmith tape from K-Mart. At the time, that scared the shit out of me, but now I realize that I was never going to be in that much trouble for stealing something that was about $7.
