Aaahhh, I found one! This is probably the youngest picture of me you'd ever be able to find on FB.

I'm the littlest one. The 2 other blondish kids are my older brother and sister. Everyone else is a cousin. It's crazy looking at this, and then looking at how they all turned out.

Here's the same group some time later (when the peace sign was making a comeback).

EDIT: This is also when guys smiling was not cool. (I was not cool... which kinda means the peace sign was probably not cool, either)

My siblings and I (minus one).

Red faced little me.

My mom tells me I cried a lot because I was attached to her boob. So most of the pictures that she has of me as an infant/toddler are when I'm crying or have been crying recently.

Downtown Eugene, Oregon, 1995, I was 14. We used to take picture of ourselves that we couldn't preview and delete if they were awful Tongue we only had 24 exposures and were stuck with what we found out we were stuck with a couple weeks later.

Whoa, I'm pretty sure I saw you around, Amber. You always looked familiar, but your son kinda clinches it. I think you were a friend of Chris and Pat Young, but I wouldn't put money on it. Anyway, that first pic brings back a lot of memories. I know right where that is. There used to be a restaurant/ cafe near there called Sandino's that was my home away from home for a couple years.

Can't say if I remember a Chris or Pat Young just by name. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw me around at all though, I was nearly always downtown. My mom sold rose garlands as a strolling vendor with a bamboo sort of rack/cart at saturday market, if it helps.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out our paths have crossed before, Eugene is that sort of small city, where everyone knows eachother and all the circles sort of blend together, at least it was back in the '90's.

Time to revive this thread! Where's for example Irina, Jess (one picture in chat isn't enough! Tongue ) and Cam as a little kid? (Sorry if you guys posted and I just missed it)

I love how my mom used to dress me. I really do actually.

I think I might posted a few on here a couple of years ago.

Unfortunately I was quite an awkward looking teenager - I looked like a boy til I was 14... a boy with boobs. I think my parents were disappointed because I was quite a cute kid.

This is me in my first role out of university... a brief stint working at a London museum, aged 21. The pay was surprisingly good but the owner was a real asshole.

I'll have a dig around and see if I can find anything older.

I like the way your mom dressed you too, Imke. I would dress like that now.

And Hattie, you look reallyyyy pretty! You look like you're part of the display since you're dressed like that.

I posted pictures here, I'm sure. But the links are probably broken. I was a real fat baby.

Slightly older age.

And this isn't too far back in the day (I was already culting at this point) but this is a shitty picture of me at my first job. Look like a gas station cashier but I'm actually a waitress. 16.

Hattie, what was it like working at a museum? What was your job?

Jess, I love that baby picture! Also, the second picture, is that a dinosaur bush? (Don't even) And! Where were you a waitress?

Screw it, I'll just tell you where it was - The Sherlock Holmes Museum. I was basically a tour guide, although most of the time I was standing in a small room for about 2 hours and posing for tourist's photos. A lot of visitors seemed to be confused about the whole thing, and would ask if Sherlock Holmes was real, seeing as it was the actual address in Arthur Conan Doyle's novels. I occasionally led them on to think he was. The gift shop had one cd which would play on repeat a selection of WW1 tunes. It used to drive everyone insane!

That's so cool. And funny that you let them think he was real.

Yeah, that was the best one but my mom took roughly a gazillion pictures that day with pretty much every animal shaped plant you can imagine. Most of them were not extinct though so I don't know what that triceratops was doing there.

I was a waitress at the aunt's restaurant. It's still around. She was nice enough to hire me back then AND helped me get a job after that too. You can't really tell but the thing on the shirt is supposed to be a little cartoon version of one of these--


It's a chiva, which is a party bus. I've never actually been on one but I once while I was in a taxi in Colombia, I saw one roll by with strobe lights and a stripper pole being used in the middle of it. It was... among the more bizarre things I've seen.

After that birthday thread, I realized I am falling a bit into obscurity on this site. So in an effort to reveal a bit more about myself, here I am in a before/after deal.

This world has not been kind to my blond hair, either.
