What were you like in middle school/high school pictures?
Hideous. Absolutely hideous.
I had glasses until 7th grade. And bad skin until 11th grade.
I mean, maybe I didn't look that horrible on a day-to-day basis, but I could never quite get it together on picture day.
Here's a picture a classmate posted on Facebook. Muddy soccer game. 2002ish. (I'm so old I can't remember the year.) Aside from the mud, sweat, and humidity-stricken bangs, this was a good day.
What were your favorite past times?
At school, there was soccer and band. I played the trumpet and I twirled a silk (not at the same time).
Out of school, I didn't have a lot of hobbies. Movies, music, and pop culture (as well as TRL) were my forte, though.
What songs were you obsessed with?
The pop music of the early 2000s. 'Nsync, specifically. While I liked The Backstreet Boys' music, I didn't like them. My mom bought me tickets to their stupid concert. And MADE me go. It was not a good place for an 'Nsync fan to be.
What fashion statement do you look back on and cringe?
I had shiny denim jeans in 9th grade. Remember the jeans with glitter on them? Yeah. Those.
Also, twinsets. Remember twinset sweaters??
I wasn't bad at fashion, but I compared myself to others a lot. I was most comfortable in my soccer gear.

Who was your celeb crush?
There was a whole list. I needed a list to keep track of them all. I really liked O-Town (for a brief period in 2001, only, guys), Justin Timberlake, Josh Hartnett, Leo. It's hard to remember back that far.
What were your favorite t.v. shows/movies?
Friends. Always Friends. I started watching it in 5th grade ('96) and it ended the month before I graduated from high school in 2004.
funny stuffs.
Let's give KStew a break and make fun of someone else today. Or maybe I just couldn't find a good meme. Katy Perry is a close second to KStew in my book.
I LOVE friends, even still! We watch the re-runs a lot, that PIVOT scene is a great one!

I actually have all the seasons of Friends on DVD. Most times I just pop in a disk and watch/listen as I'm doing other things around the house.
ReplyDeleteEven my kids know all the episodes. It's pretty bad when you hear one kid explaining something to another by using something that happened on Friends as an example.
AND IT HELPED!
psh. I'll never regret my glitter jeans! ;)
ReplyDeleteFriends is my fav. I have fond memories of skipping class in college and having day long marathons where I would only break to toast a poptart or fix ramen noodles. Oh, the life.
I would have died if my mom "made" me go to a BSB concert. I loved them. But I also loved NSync! Love that zombie apocalypse saying. That is my brother. He ask me every day about zombie scenarios.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the awkward times in middle/high school.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that you love Friends. It's one of my all time favorite shows!
awww you were adorable!!! everyone thinks they looked ridic in middle school bc its pretty much an awkward age for everyone haha

I love friends too!! omg the pivot picture is one of my favorite ross moments! :)
ReplyDeleteI had those glitter jeans in high school too! I remember spending $60 dollar on them because I HAD to have them. I wish I could get my $60 back.
ReplyDeleteOmg. High school fashion was a nightmare. So icky.
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same love for nsync and disdain for bsb! I had some pretty horrific fashion choices in high school and middle school too. Blech
ReplyDeleteThat episode of Friends is one of my favorite ever!
ReplyDeleteOh God. PIVOT! Every time we move we reference that episode.
