A visit from Kate: Portrait Party

Ok, I'm going to use Bob's lovely photo as a jumpoff because I love staged portraits. From such simple precepts- I'm going to project an image of myself that will be canonical and representative of this moment in my life, and I will stand in front of something, and it will be a rectangle- we get this awesome tableau of humanity. If you were to look at my school portrait from say, 5th grade, it is conceivable that I would be wearing a gigantic red t-shirt that says 2002. I WOULD have been wearing big flammable liquid stickers (see below) on the knees of whatever fucked up jeans I was rocking in 1995 except my mom vetoed it on portrait day and I was too thrown for a loop by adolescence in general to say "These here stickers represent a symbol of my individuality, and my belief in personal freedom" a la Nic Cage in Wild at Heart years before he starred in still my favorite youtube video of all time, Best Scenes from "The Wicker Man:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo

But my mom missed the point, and not just because it was actually a totally righteous stylistic choice. These photos have such great stories to tell! Sorry this might be a little epic.
This is when...

...I was really into...


...I looked amazing


...I loved my cat/dogs/fiance/harmonica



...I could kill a man with my bare hands


...I knew how to have a real good time


...I walked on the moon, hey remember that? that was fun.

Or just whatever! Party on!


Most of these are probably from a really excellent blog called http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/
Get into it!

damn, alright, I was gonna do this after the last post but I am OFFICIALLY TAKING BACK MY ENID'S CHALLENGE. I have been thoroughly shamed in my game. In my defense, I had been drinking heavily and was bored at the time.

Fuck / marry / kill:
Star Wars Proposal
Mullet Cat
Insane Clown Posse

I'd kill Star wars, fuck the clowns and marry the mullet (he comes with a cat after all).
