I loaded up Flickr with the photos that make me never want to have daughters.
You can click MORE to see them here, right now. I apologize for the low-tech/ghetto style and stuff, but I don't have a scanner here, and I will forget to do this if I wait until tomorrow. Beause I'm a dingbat like that.
Anyway, Click More... already!
Here I am at our 8th Grade Dinner with "Stacy" (13 Years)

In my 8th Grade Class Photo (13 Years)

8th Grade Graduation (13 Years)


At Knott's Berry Farm (13 Years)

And at fourteen in my Freshman Prom and Class Photos


Scary, no? I typically wore clothes to hide my figure, especially vintage dresses and hippie stuff, like the shirt in the Knott's picture. If I had it to do over again...ha!
Johnny Rockstar II to follow...now with improved visuals!
More nostalgia, why i need therapy
Oh my God, you looked like Blossom!

Posted by: David on August 16, 2005 03:07 AMOh my, I would have had the major hots for you in school. Those eyes are amazing! I would never have had enough nerve to talk to you, though -- and you would have never noticed me, considering you interest in the "bad boys" at Knott's.
Posted by: Neil on August 16, 2005 06:31 AMMy favorite part is that you changed "Stacy's" name but have no problem posting a picture of her during her awkward teenage years.

Posted by: AJ on August 16, 2005 08:50 AMBLOSSOM?! You must be fucking KIDDING me? Do I LOOK like I have a huge nose and buck teeth? Damn. Dressed like Blossom, maybe. I will accept that.
Neil, you would be surprised at how much I have always been into nerdy boys. I liked making them uncomfortable.
Bill, I'm only changing her name so she won't google herself and have her older sister kick my ass, like she threatened to once after we "fell out." Although I'm fairly certain she's working at the Spearmint Rhino, and probably not much for blogs.
AJ, you can call me Lolita.
Posted by: Helena on August 16, 2005 11:50 AMDefinitely jailbait.
But much cuter now.
No Fucking Way, Dude.NO FUCKING WAY
And thanks Unsomnabulist...is there a nickname version of that? That's a mouthful...
Posted by: Helena on August 16, 2005 12:17 PMYeah, +1 to what Neil said. I would have spent all high school feeling bitter that you wanted dangerous, older men, and trying to convince myself that I was, somehow, dangerous in an overlooked kind of way.
It's funny, you had the look even then -- the eyes plus also the great cheekbones.
Posted by: Wade on August 16, 2005 02:23 PMWow... thanks for adding me to your blogroll!
(and I can't even pronounce my name, I just refer to it as Unsom')
I'm new here and you're funny. I like some of these pics!
Posted by: Kris on August 16, 2005 05:19 PMThose are awesome....
Posted by: Batonga on August 16, 2005 05:27 PMYou guys are so awesome.
It was really just an illustration of looking older than my age at the time of the story, but thanks for saying all those nice things (except for David, who is now on my Shit List...in my opinionantion the sun is going to surely shine...except for the place where my foot goes!).
Maybe I'll have to dig up some more old pics. My closet looked, as one ex put it, "as if Janis Joplin had thrown up in it."
Posted by: Helena on August 16, 2005 09:23 PMJust for David I wanted to say that I still love you and you are one of the most wonderful boys in the world. Please, I need your snarkiness to keep me in check, so don't be driven away darling.

Posted by: Helena on August 16, 2005 09:46 PMI'm concerned that it took less than 10 seconds between reading the words "in my opinionation the sun is going to surely shine" and being able to sing them in my head complete with tinkling piano at the end.
Whoa!
Posted by: bill on August 17, 2005 01:16 PMHaaaaahahaha! It was a great theme song...although in my mind it also segues into the theme from Full House. Don't ask why.
Whatever happened to predictability...the milman, the paperboy, evening tv?

He's there just to take good care of me

You're it.
