Going to a dance at a friend’s school! This is referred to as my “Belle” dress. And yes, I still have it. And *think* still fit it LOL.
Now that we’ve got those out of the way. I have EVEN MORE WAYS TO EMBARRASS myself! 🙂 Below. Is a poem I wrote at age 13. And a diary entry from when I was also 13. While I looked through these, I seriously was LAUGHING my ass off. I cannot believe I wrote these things. It’s absolutely crazy to look back on.
What possessed me to write like this.. I will never know. I’ll just blame teenage love. LOL
And I cannot believe I used to… wRitE lYkE DiZ!
Go ahead laugh. Please do. I laughed SO hard. The sad thing is I still remember exactly who this is written about. LOL
So I used to have the hugest crush on this kid…
And I swear my handwriting is WAY better now! lol.
If you weren’t apart of this hop. You totally missed out. This is was SO much fun. And I cannot wait to do this again when I’m say 40. As a suggestion, I suggest everyone go dig through your old stuff today or tomorrow. Because you will get a laugh or a smile out of it. I’m SURE of it. 🙂

Holy Crap. I love THE hell out of this. For real. The best part is that I'm SO much older than you that my poetry is more like Emily Dickinson poetry bc hip hop and spoken word poetry wasn't even a thing back then.I adore you. Seriously, you have solidified yourself as the most awesome person FoReVeR!

How creative you were! I'm not sure I could handle reading a ton of the poetry, my eyes would bug out. But I'm old. :)I get a kick out of all the people I mentioned in my journals. Who was going with whom. I mean, seriously, they weren't my good friends, but I often had lists of breakups and such. Why?

That poem is awesome. And yeah, I'm old enough that my eyes bugged out a little bit and the English teacher in me was going \”Nooooo!\” but it's great.

I had the SAME kind of huge loopy handwriting when I was in HS. The more I wrote, the loopier it got. Love your pics – funny how none of us had any personal boundaries when the camera came out. :))

You had skillz 😉 And dude, that Conrad guy didn't know what he was missing out on!! This post rocks. And brings back so many memories of my own!
