some of it was halcyon
i was recently reunited with two boxes of old photos (thanks, knuckles). sifting through them is such a trip. it’s time consuming and frustrating, trying to sort, organize, and jettison. i realize that wow, even during pre-, mid-, and post-puberty, i took a lot of pictures.
my batman geekery started at a young age, but flourished through high school and to this day. here are my halloween costumes from junior and senior year. i remember getting really into it, going to the goodwill in milpitas to assemble a proper joker wardrobe (i think i did a pretty good job). i got up early for both outfits, spending a lot of time on makeup. when i think about all the energy and earnestness that went into those costumes, it makes me sad because i don’t think i can duplicate that kind of effort or feel that excitement anymore.
here are some teasers from junior high days. i cherish these precious photos of me and the girls i grew up with. holy moly i just saw that i’m holding a rose in the photo with the guy. if you want more you’ll have to go to my flickr. happy friday y’all. i’m beat, got a long work weekend ahead of me.

I am loving your assortment of gothic t-shirts
Did you ever dress up as Harley Quinn or Clayface?

my god you are ADORABLE. you look a bit like a friend of mine from back then. except for the fact that she only wore smiths and skinny puppy shirts.

@mike thanks. i’ll never get that youthful vigor back
@ryan i wish i still had ALL of my shirts. they were ridiculously desperately goth wannabe. i didn’t do clayface or harley quinn. i’m guessing you can imagine which one i’d prefer though
@nico awww thanks. not really, i’m just deranged. i wonder if your friend and me had the same skinny puppy shirt? i still wear mine to the gym. it’s nice and worn in.
@christina nooooooo, you didn’t get those from me.
@reg i know, i love them. there are more, i should take more time in archiving and uploading the rest. i think we should have another viewing session with the rest of the pictures!
