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 (twenty years ago)

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

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.

Sugarpants looks like the coolest kid ever.

Thanks! I wish I still had that shirt. I miss those boots, too. Still the best outfit I have ever put together in my entire life.

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 (eight months ago)

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.
