Me? In the center, like i said :)

I def. see the KD Lang thing, but it looks good!

Remy Ulysses Fitzgerald (x Jeremy), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I'll have to slim down and try that look again then. Nothing else much is working for me at the moment.

Gothdom approacheth! This was taken maybe 6-12 months after that one above. My first black hairdye and my only (bad) attempt at having a fringe. Dig the shoes.

I look like teeny in that pic, a bit dont I?

Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:43 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, it's cute.

all pictures of me suck.

hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:46 (nineteen years ago) link

You do a bit...and someone else whose name I can't place. Someone famous. Hmmmmm.

kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah. Between the two photos you've posted, I wouldn't recognize you as the same person.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Tuomas: yeah, I had a knack for being a right little chameleon in them days. My own family (like, cousins who'd not seen me in some years) used to not reccognise me from one family do to the next. I guess I have one of those blank canvas faces or something.

Its sort of a running gag how often I've changed my hair and such.

My sister finally found the VHS of family photos my dad had (with good intentions but a little shortsightedly) transferred from old slides. Unfortunately, the one photo I really, really wanted to unearth--me before Neil Young's 1978 show at Maple Leaf Gardens--is not on there.

Someone posted this on my FB wall the other day: turning 50, 2011.

No arthritis, no diabetes, no hearing aids. I think I still look the same, more or less, but I might not be the best judge of that. I'm definitely still blurry.

clemenza, Saturday, 26 October 2024 20:28 (two weeks ago) link

Sometimes blurry is kind of reassuring.

In spite of the dead links scattered throughout, this thread is still one of the most fun to browse around in.
