I spent almost 2 hours scanning photos after work so that I could bring them to this glorious establishment.
Anyway. I am beginning to be disappointed in myself that I have hidden away the really gross high school photos. Perhaps the next time I go to my parents' house. For some reason, I'm a lot more at ease putting them up here than actually showing them to people I know irl (even though some of them have livejournals).
Anyway, where should I start???
I'm going for the worst that I can find.
The 2 pictures below are from my senior prom (1986). I was dating Sonny, the guy on the right in both photos. He was my first "real" boyfriend. Had a great ass. The best butt until Mda.
My friend DDD is the girl in the picture below. We've been friends since we were freshmen in high school. I didn't get a prom picture with Sonny. She got her picture w/SOnny b/c the guy she went w/was acting like a jerk.

And, yeah, he was just as damned cocky as he looks in the photos.

I'm in the middle, Sonny's on the right and some pseudo-punk who I can't remember is on the left. Oh, btw, we were all pseudo-punks. At least we knew it, and, hey, I've seen Siouxie. Anyway, I think that kid was the one who left the knife in my car that my mom was so pissed about. TMI alert: Lost my virginity to Sonny less than 2 weeks later. That's the only thing worth mentioning about that experience (although, overall, it was a nice dating experience; the sexual experience is probably like most between an 18 and a 16 yr old).
I still have the earrings and the necklace. The dress I left in my ex-fiance's father's attic, so I guess it's in come landfill by now.

College. We were dressing like the "ages of Madonna" for a friend's b-day, but that was my real 'do in my Sophomore year (and a wonderful golden blond). That was the year that I came back and a friend heard some guys in the cafetaria talking about me, saying that the year before I was a dog, then I was all hot. So, that year, one of our (many, many) sayings was my reply, "I've ARRIVED!" I never got my hair that particular color of blond again. I've never figured out why.
Still have the earrings.

One of my birthdays since I've lived out here. The guy on the left is CJ, my sometimes hated, sometimes boss, sometimes great friend. I had to get this photo in just for Sacramentalist. Still have that sweater. I think this may have been taken 8 years ago?

Me, the day of DDD's wedding (10 years ago this August--holy fuck!). I was a bridesmaid and our present was hair and make-up. Actually, none of the photographs do justice to how absolutely stunning I looked, and of course, this photo doesn't really show it either. I just kept staring at myself, I was so fucking gorgeous. I wondered what my life would be like if I did that all the time. But then, you know, you wear that much make-up (and it really didn't look like I was wearing make-up all that much), then you take the make-up off and all the sudden you have these little squirelly eyes and no lips and no cheekbones. Still, it's interesting to think about.

In that last photot, you look a lot like Gio, a chick who used to be in my bowling league. The italian girl Snoop fan who said I was the whitest person she knows.
