this is not as awesome as a kate beaton comic, though

Re: this awesome thread about what some of us were like when we were ten, I thought it was time to make a Younger Self Post! I occasionally forget that I'm not still twelve or so, and then I think about what I was like as a child, and ... it's not like anything has changed that much, and I have mostly just experienced absurdity drift instead of an actual decrease of absurdity, but it is still pretty great to think about my younger self.

I would, by the way, love to spark a Younger Selves Post meme, except I don't have a catchy pithy way to tell you what to post! Mine is just a bunch of jumbled facts + some hilarious childhood pictures. Do what you will!

( Younger Self Post: random facts and hilarious childhood pictures. )

you be my detonator

The unexpected dangers of talking about my younger self: I am now listening to My Chem's Na Na Na on repeat and watching the pilot of Smallville. Oh yeah, and wearing an oversize hoodie! SELF, WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU WERE ACTUALLY FOURTEEN. /o\ (Well, let's be honest: I was listening to Avril Lavinge and reading really awful Harry Potter fic, so this is a step up. From that. Probably a step down from earlier today when I was watching Star Trek TOS and listening to Vienna Teng, though.)
