Jeez.

I know this is sort of a vanity post but I was just going through my Photobucket today looking at old pictures and deleting ones I didn't need and I came across an old picture of me and I realized how much I've changed.

This picture is me when I was fifteen and really when I was just getting to know a lot of you. I hadn't started testosterone yet or really any sort of physical transition and I was looking even kinda young for fifteen. (Also, hairtastrophe):




And this is me yesterday, a year and a half on testosterone, eighteen years old and still sort of bad hair:

[Ann]

Aw sweetie, I have photos of you at that age that are so much more adorable than the one you posted.

You certainly are growing up to be a handsome young man. Oh to be 25 years younger... oh, yeah, and a guy...

I've been meaning to ask you... with all the (very admirable) extracurricular activities you're involved in, are you actually getting your schoolwork done? ~ducks~ Well, somebody  had to be the wet blanket and ask, and I am a trained mother/nag. LOL

Hugs,
Ann

                      I hope you  get every thing in life you desire !

                                                             the best for you

I really need to pull a Rachel Zoe on your hair.  There's just so much wrongness.

Don't worry, I'm getting it cut tomorrow. Never again will you have to be seen in public with someone sporting emo hair.



(My initial reaction was to say: "At least I have hair." But then I thought - nah, too mean.)

[Miss Philicia]

Let me go at it with my clippers if you come visit me over New Years ... and remember you have some Louis Vuitton boots waiting for you.

[anniebc]

Where have those years gone Mouse, it seems just like yesterday.

All I did was turn around and our little one turned into a young man, and a very handsome one at that..just not sure if that makes me happy or a little sad.

love and hugs
Jan

One word.. EMO..

I've been scratching my head over your comment for a couple days now - I'm not sure what you're referring to. If it's my age, you're out by six years. If it's your GPA, then WELL DONE! You always were one smart cookie, even if you do  have stupid emo hair.

About the drawing Moffie posted, I've got that one in my archives too. Are you still in touch with the intrepid Ar... what was his name... Arped? Last I remember you mentioning him, he had been accepted to some fancy art school. I hope he's doing well and still drawing. He's good!

(My initial reaction was to say: "At least I have hair." But then I thought - nah, too mean.)

Meeeowww!

4-point-oh.


And I'm actually at Arpad's house right now. xD As I type this message.
He was accepted to MICA and SCAD and stuff but he couldn't afford to go even with the scholarships he got. So he's going to Pitt for Biology.



PS: Ugh those pictures. I look about 12.

Louis Vuitton boots - give me 35 hours and I'll be there.

Yay! I was hoping you were talking about your GPA. Well done, you're making all your aidsmeds aunts and uncles very proud indeed.

What a shame Arpad didn't get to go to the school he wanted. I'm surprised to hear he's doing biology - maybe he can have a career doing biology text book illustrations. He's really got quite a talent.

And yes, you did look young back in the day - you still do a bit. Why did you think we dubbed you "baby-boi"? LOL

When do we get to see a photo of you now that you're allegedly sans stupid emo hair?

[Mouse]

Sigh. Now I guess.


I miss my hair and I feel like I belong in the 80s. Stupid gay hairdresser.












Three people in the past two days have gone, "OH MY GOD. You have EARS?!"

[Miss Philicia]

NOES U

ps:  what's up with the hippie-chick tie-dye honey?  Channeling Janis Joplin again?

I made it at Musik Fest with my ex boyfriend.

Bad memories. Good sleepy shirt.

[Ann]

HA! I made more rainbow spiral tie-dyes than you could shake a stick at back when I worked for (and ran the dye room) at Not Fade Away Graphics in NY. I still have a couple tie-dyes I wear when I'm feeling hippyish.

Now about that hair, young man. Looks like Emo-80s Fusion. Oh dear.

Nevermind, it will grow.

I just bought a tie-dye shirt a few weeks back.  It's quite stylish.

Jaser, you look good.  Like Ann said, hair grows (eventually).

[Moffie65]

Jaser, don't worry so much about hair, as my sweetie always says; it will grow out. 

I still don't know why I didn't dye my hair pink when I was still in my thirties, so now it's thirty years later and 60 year old men don't dye their hair pink, especially in Republican Arizona.  Bleah.....

[Jeffreyj]

Moffie, i didn't know you were a republican(Sorry for the hi jack Jase!)

[Ann]

Moffie, i didn't know you were a republican(Sorry for the hi jack Jase!)

heheheh... he ain't! He just lives in the middle of a Republican area of the country, namely Arizona. You know, shoot-em-up-cowboy-yeeehaw! and all that jazz.

[Moffie65]

Jeffery, just because you live in the only Democratic stronghold of the state, doesn't mean that the whole state is that way.  Hell, when was the last time you were held in front of a Glock handgun because you were trying to promote democratic government?  Yes, Ann is right, too many Republican Mormons here to try anything considered too far out.  I think Jaser knows about CONSERVATIVE neighborhoods also. 

[CaliGuy22]

Jaser I think you are handsome in all the pics no matter what haircut you have.

~Josh

[maddalfred]

Oh, to be 30 years younger and know what I know now, without themeds induced LDS! *sigh*

Like the old saying goes, "I just LOVE those college (age) boys! I keep gettin' older and they just keep staying the same!"

What a puppy dawg. I could stroke him and hug him and call him George.

If you're going for an 80s look you need to do it properly.  I had this doo in 1982 but it was more shaved on the sides and back, and teased up a bit more on top.  You need some Queen Helene pomade/styling gel.
