My good friend that I went to High School in Florida with, Tammi, and I are working on a photo project (details coming soon!) and we were both looking for an old picture of the two of us from back then. She was able to find one, but I wasn’t. However, I was able to find some slightly funny old photos I thought I would share. I love seeing pictures of people when they were younger.
This first group of photos is when I was determined to become a model. The Seventeen magazines always had ridiculous ads in the back about sending your pictures to a fake agency for review. I bought a cheap, disposable camera and my mom and I went out back and I showed off my skills. I wonder why in the world they never called!
This is me in California shopping on Rodeo Drive. Yes, I was shopping there wearing COTTON SHORTS AND A TSHIRT. Again, intervention? And take a peak at those bony knees, I could cut through steel with those. Unfortunately, I carry those with me still. I never did grow into my knees.
And here I am one Christmas with my dog, Madison. We got her from the pound because I was in a lonely, no friends stage. I don’t remember what we did with her but I know we didn’t have her for very long.
Here is me in the school musical, Charlie Brown. It is one of my absolute best memories from High School. I am in the pink.
And this is Dad and I at my High School graduation in Chanute, Kansas (I only went to this school for one year). I didn’t graduate with honors, in fact I probably came close to not graduating at all… but I was the entertainment, damn it. And it was good. I sang Vitamin C’s Graduation. I rocked it.
And even though I could totally lie if this picture wasn’t of me, it really is. I went skydiving for my 18th birthday and it was so much fun. I am not entirely sure I would do it again but I suggest everyone do it once.
