I think the "Erik and Eric" is the funniest part of this picture.

The funny thing is, my best friend of the last 15 or so years is also named Eric, and is not the same one (who was a friend in school, but not one I kept in contact with).

I honestly think that's a cool phase.

Ah, and cultivating a taste for Shire bitter.

Ha!
That is the greatest kid-pic ever.

I have two closets, both full of clothes that I hardly ever wear. I think ever since leaving high school, all normal clothing has begun looking bad to me. I like having a job that requires a uniform because I do a lot less laundry and I don't have to think about hating all other clothing so much.

exactly . i relate to this very much .
i usually am reminded of it when ive spent too much time downtown around people my age , or when once in a blue moon i want to be confident in my looks and just look good for a change and the option isnt even there for me to .

i DONT want to become one of those weird old grannies in purple velvet track suits with the word "BRAT" or "SASSY" embroidered with sequints on the back *shudder

awkward younger phases - took turns being Goth Whore and Grunge Boy . it was fun .

There's no need to be hurtful with your hurtful words.

hahahahahaha

at least you didn't grow up to be a tub of lard who can't speak two words in a row.

(poor poor real corey).

Indeed. I'm finally managing to lose a few pounds even. Being employed does wonders for that, I've found.

you can donate a few to me because apparently i need them
