What did you use to look like? Old photos.

I remember those kind of caps, they were called "bola" or something in Finland.

DD was down the PE.

yeah, in that picture I'm kind of showing off my 4 track and video editing n effects rig that I used to make abstract psychedelic garbage video there. And posing like crazy obviously.

I read that as "posting" and I was like, already?!!

This is still one of the cutest things ever. Little Hoos!

I just wish it was bigger. I mean the pic, of course. I like the tiny Hoos.

i still say the colour don't suit him.

Mum's been scanning me some old photos.

Here's me in 1988, my 17th birthday. I look so tiny and so young!

Ha you havent changed a bit ;D

I may have posted this before; can't recall. It's my only online picture from the past. In college -- and drunk -- I think:

I'm on the left (I'm the one with no glasses). So very long ago now. Sorry if it's a repeat. If I knew how to digitize old physical photos, I'd try that.

(Now that I think about it, that might be from my bachelor party. My good friend (on the right, with glasses) organized it for me.)

I'm at my parents' house for a long Thanksgiving weekend with family and found some embarrassing old high school photos in my room. Will see if I can unbork their scanner and get them up, that is if scanning them doesn't re-break the damn thing.

elvis, those are fantastic!

never saw this! the explanation is that i'm sitting in paolo maldini's chair in the changing room at the san siro, the tour of which is fantastic if you're ever in milan.

aww cute!

one of my friends posted a few pictures from high school on facebook today (not public, can't share), and i am sort of depressed by how exactly the same i look in them. most of my friends have better style, hair, etc. by now, mine are only slightly different!

A friend of mine posted her 1988 high school class photo on FB and what amuses me is how exactly like my own class that year all the heairstyles and clothing is on everyone. Shaggy, big hair, denim and lots of vaguely oversized shirts not tucked in.

what was your year?

Oh I finished HS in 1988 too :) But she was in a city school in Melb and I was in a country school in NSW - curious how universal teens can be.

i posted some hs photos too and my old friend and i were reminiscing about those horrible polyester shirts from the mid-late 90s. so terrible, but i lovvvvved them.

also a hella lot of jncos in those pics!

i miss the jncos/polyester shirt (preferably w/ flames or dragons) combo

i still have a shirt with flames on the sleeves from hs. (um, actually, i am wearing it now!) but it is a pretty plain cotton shirt otherwise.

I think the jnco / dragon shirt look is still popular w/ juggalos

iirc this look was meant to indicate "I love raving!" or "I have heard of a rave" or "I rented Go last night"

maybe now but back then pretty much everyone was rocking this look. i don't think i ever had a flame/dragon shirt, though. i was more into the polyester faux 60s revival crap.

this was my all-time favorite polyester shirt. my mother DETESTED it.
