Yes, I'm posting my old high school yearbook photos. Just for kicks. For reference, I'll include the year the photo was taken.

RIGHT (1998) Sophomore year...I was 14 when this was taken. I know it seems like I was a little young, but these photos were always taken at the end of the previous school year or at the waaay beginning (or even before!) of the current school year (September) and my birthday is in October. ANYWAY. This was my phase of too much makeup that I had no clue how to apply. You girls who grew up/are growing up in the era of the fashion blog and YouTube makeup tutorial? You have no idea how lucky you guys are. Seriously. But more on that later (really more on this later and by later I mean another post). In this photo I guess my hair is okay (relatively speaking) but my eye makeup is kinda janky and so is my skin. Thank goodness for the low quality black and white print. Also, I have braces.

RIGHT (2000) Senior year, the color photo. I guess I was 16 when this photo was taken. I'm not sure what it is I really don't like about this photo. Actually that was a lie my face is what I really don't like about this photo, though I can't really pinpoint why. All I have to say is thank goodness my hair is pretty conservative and that I didn't have the balls to apply makeup with a heavy enough hand to make it visible because I'm certain the photo would be far worse than it is if that weren't the case.

As you can see, I haven't changed a freaking bit. Except I was a little thinner when I was 13, but who wasn't? Oh, and I guess I don't have braces anymore and my undereye bags might be a little more prominent now than they were before.

And that's the end of my blast to the past! Maybe next time we'll go through my ID cards. That'll be total awesome sauce.
