Do not look at childhood photos when drunk. Or even just slightly tipsy.

That's absolutely true!

Sorry, you commented, so you get this. (Beware: wholesome.)

(There should totally be a rule against alcohol and family photos in combination.)

I love this one:

Next time you come over, I have a relatively succinct album of high school plus a few kiddie pix. I hardly recognize myself! And allllll the exes.

Including (here's a fun factoid) about two years ago, dietrich dated someone I had dated in high school!

Recommendation: stop looking at pix and go to bed!

You and dietrich definitely win the small world award, there.

In other news: bed... yes, that's not a bad idea!

Oh, wheee!

In response, here's one of me at 16 and my brother at 20, at my other brother's wedding (in clothes that my now-sister-in-law shoehorned us into). What you can't see -- the dress has pearls across the back.

No! I want a rule FOR it!

By the same token there are some old emails and IM logs you shouldn't read when you're out of sorts. :(

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

Ha! Poofy sleeves wasn't enough? They had to add pearls? Wowsa.

On the flip side, in my picture, I picked out the dress. (And still own it, even.)

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

You would.

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

In your photo, you look happy and great! :)

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm trying to remember if I was happy. 8th grade was not a good time, so I'm sure I was glad to be finishing it. I'm pretty sure I was happy and feeling pretty in the moment that picture was taken, though.

Boy howdy.

Great photo

8th grade graduation?
We were all so young!

Re: Great photo

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

The very one! A blast from the past, eh?

[missionista.livejournal.com]

OMG, you are adorable!

*laugh* Don't tell anyone!
