I was known as a what in high school?

Yes, yes. That picture is unfortunate proof that I was quite the Chewbacca back in high school. Believe me, my grade school photos were worse. My mother has them hidden somewhere for her to use for blackmail and leverage purposes.

Looking at these verifiable and authenticated evidences, I can't imagine why people thought what they thought about me back then. Granted, everything was sixteen levels of dramatic back in high school (Even breathing was dramatic then) but it still is something I can't decide to categorize in either the hilarious box or the appalled box.

Okay, so I had boyfriends back in high school - nothing to induce a disapproving frown or a raised eyebrow. In my defense, I was monogamous with them when I was with them. Sure, I met up with some of them after high school and you can't fault me for that, it was AFTER high school. Christ...

Now this, this picture can most definitely pass for the judgment bestowed previously. This photo screams "REPUTATION" and "STREET CRED". The person in this photo does not and will not take offense for any label you throw at her.

I just wanted the little high school girl in that picture to stay a little girl for a little while longer. I want that little girl to have her little happy idyll life for just a few moments more. That little girl changes into a horrible jaded, bitter and unworthy woman, so while she can still live in her little bubble, I'd like for her to have it just a little while longer.
