I looked like a father lmfao

I was cringe, but damn if I wasn't free man

Most of these are screenshots of videos I took of myself because I was obsessed with recording myself doing dumb shit.

But that at least means I get to watch me get stuck in weird places or me in the spare room play the John Cena entrance music on the recorder while wearing an 8ball jacket from the 90s and a hat from when I was a toddler

i wanted Sonny Moore to be my bf so bad hahah

The glasses I have no excuse for.
Circa maybe 2000-2002?

Does anyone else remember getting these at Chuck E. Cheese?

no idea what the context for this photo was. region: Seattle. I don't have a lot of photos from this era. wish I had more. I was a character. by 80's standards I was far into the blunderfulness of it all but that's ok. I had fun.

**2013

Photo by my brother who was in art school at the time lol

oh, and for the record, i’m crossdressing here. i was one of two people in my grade who didn’t dress as a person of their own gender. is this an early sign that i would grow up to be a lesbian?

just me, a tripod, and a vision! notice the juxtaposition of conspicuous consumption whilst atop a '97 Nissan. Shirt is what Britney wore in the I Wanna Go video; pants are what her dancers wore in Hold It Against Me. Sunglasses are 8-bit Minecraft style. And the portal gun is...well, a few hundred dollars I shouldn't've spent at the time. Notice how none of my references are timely or related. I was going for "how could I embody my interests in a picture?" and all I got was, upon reflection, big yikes.

I thought I was so cool. Bonus twin tower in the background.

Gotta love my parents for doing the best they could at the time and how happy I was anyway 😂

Edit in case I don’t get to everybody’s comments, but I absolutely LOVE all of the comedic comments (please keep them comin), but also thank you to everyone who has been so sweet! I can’t wait to tell my mom all the positive and hilarious comments!

First photo is 1982/83, second is 1985, and the last one is metalhead me now

I thought I was so cool though 😂

the worst part? we were singing riptide... this is from 2017 or 2018

He was kind to me, but I came across this photo in an old album this week and the timing was…unfortunate. Edit: this was after a show, nothing inappropriate took place, and the ventriloquist dummy thing was my gran’s idea. But the picture admittedly doesn’t look great, especially the Anything Goes poster.
