I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU!!! Post a pic from your High School Days

[Taverner]

I started .... your turn

[ZombieNixon]

1. Last day of tenth grade

I feel so much older now.

[xchrom]

8. ok -- you have NOT aged.

[ZombieNixon]

17. Well, I have more facial hair and I don't wear a jester hat anymore.

:D

[tjwmason]

25. Yes you've matured so much.

Now you wouldn't do something so infantile as wear a jester hat - you do big grown-up things like put confectionary into a microwave and take pictures of it. :P

[ZombieNixon]

39. Exactly!

:D

[LeftyMom]

2. okay, this is my junior year I think

[Deja Q]

57. A lovely picture; the eyes betraying a sharp intellect.

The purple headdress isn't bad either. :D

[RandomKoolzip]

3. From left: Me, ChavezSpeakstheTruth, and SouthoftheBorderPaul...

...In our immediate post-high school period. I think this was just a few months after graduation:



Yup, we were hippies. Chavez is singing "Sugaree" in this pic.:hippie:

[yvr girl]

4. Junior High is the closest I have

Grade 8 specifically.

[Taverner]

5. Love the FarrahHair!!!!!!!

[CanuckAmok]

26. you totally look like my highschool sweetheart.

Here's a comparitive photo (although, admittedly, she's no longer highschool age... but, hey, neither are you!).



on edit: I should clarify; that's her on the right.

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Good thing you made that edit.

I thought Tarantino was your high school sweetheart for a second.

[yvr girl]

53. I don't see it

Similar shaped mouths maybe.

[tigereye]

103. ah CA

so you are really Tarantino. That explains a lot! :rofl:

[Yavin4]

62. OMG!! LISA KUDROW!!!

Wow! Lisa Kudrow posts on DU!!!

[datasuspect]

6. they sealed those records

once i turned 18.

[johnnie]

7. High school graduation pic

I had to comb my hair for that one x(

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Goofing around Freshman year...

Prom



Graduation Day:

[lizziegrace]

10. Senior Year - Football Season

Yes, I was a band freak...

[Ptah]

11. OK - 1967

[bridgit]

12. ppfftt, easiest thing i've been dared to do all day...

[Guava Jelly]

13. class of 1985

[Left Is Write]

58. Eeeee! Love the hair!

I was class of '84.

[Guava Jelly]

77. Hey it was the eighties..and i wasn't exactly getting all the babes

But someday I will.. maybe 2010 lol just kidden..
:hi:

[LaurenG]

14. Freshman

14 years 2 months.

[NNadir]

15. You look much older than 14 in this picture.

[LaurenG]

16. I was thinking I looked very, very young

but I was barely 14, I graduated at age 17. My fear is that someone will see this and KNOW who I am now! lol

[NNadir]

24. Well, looking at your picture, I'm sure you were unforgettable.

[Sequoia]

108. Indeed. It's the clothes and hair stlyes back then.

Lovely.

[CanuckAmok]

28. Always a handy phrase. n/t

[Digit]

88. Hiya OB!

:hi:
Nice pic!

[Call Me Wesley]

18. OK, I'll play:

I'm the one at the very right, first row down.

[otherlander]

19. You look like a poet.

[Call Me Wesley]

22. LOL!

I think this was the time when I actually had my first poems published in a German anthology (book.)

Thanks! :hi:

[otherlander]

23. You wrote poems in German? That's cool.

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Well, I'm Swiss,

so German is somewhat my native language, since I grew up in the German speaking part of Switzerland. (Actually, it's Swiss German, but high German is the first 'foreign' language we take in school. Nobody writes dialect, except for a few who do it on purpose.)

[faithnotgreed]

132. now that deserves more information

may i ask you about that
what type of poetry or anything else you would like to share

congratulations on that (though it looks like it may be a few years belated)

[Major Hogwash]

70. In the first row?

In the red pants?

Or the guy with the gray shirt in the blue pants?

[Call Me Wesley]

124. Red pants, long blonde hair. (nt)

[huskerlaw]

20. High school graduation

I'm the one in the middle

[jukes]

21. not HS, but basic training shortly after graduation...

basic.jpg (JPEG Image, 995x1358 pixels) - Scaled (39%)

[tjwmason]

27. Not sure exact age here.

But it was before I became a prefect (at which point I had stripes added to the blazer pockets) which happened at the end of the Lower VIth - I'd guess I'm 15-16.

Before you all compliment me on the wonderful choice of tie :eye: that was school uniform - you can just see the top of the school badge on my blazer - Floreat Aylesburia.

[Mutley]

34. Aww, weren't you so cute as a teenager?

:P

[tjwmason]

36. Where's your picture then.

I was a very well-behaved and model pupil. O8)

[Mutley]

40. I don't have one from my high school days, but I do have

one from my toddler days...



Isn't that a lovely couch? :rofl:

[u4ic]

42. We had one

similar to that...and a maroon vibrating recliner to go with it. (my parents were colour blind as far as I'm concerned) Did you have an ottoman with it, too? I loved racing up and down the hallway on it. :7

You were a cutie, btw...

[Mutley]

44. Yes, and my sister and I used to skateboard on it

and crash into the couch. I almost broke my neck that way one day. :D

[XemaSab]

49. Yummah.

I am a sucker for school uniforms.

[Left Is Write]

59. Wow - just gorgeous.

[Shell Beau]

111. Those eyes!!

Gorgeous! I have told you before, but it is worth telling again!

[ChoralScholar]

30. I was fit, trim, and fifteen:

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Not long after high school...looking kind of insane...

[Ava]

116. either you're really tall or she's really short

or a combo of the two! :P

[ThomCat]

118. And really cute

in a skinny grunge kind of way. :9

[LaraMN]

33. Straight from the yearbook:

I'm the one (shockingly!):rofl:. with the black shirt emblazoned with a target on the chest:





A "brooding viola player" picture, :smoke: from an orchestra trip to Chicago:

[tjwmason]

35. Violas players have to brood.

Nobody understands us - indeed nobody understands our music either, they just look at the alto clef and pull wierd faces...not that I've touched mine for years.

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

41. Holy crap! You two are/were viola players?

I love you both even more now! :bounce:

It's true, no one understands us...but cellos burn longer anyway. ;)

[tjwmason]

46. Herking herk - you were a viola player.

:wow:

That makes you even herkier. To answer your question - for my sins, I was a viola player.

How could burn a 'cello though? They are quite literally sex on a stick - quite seriously I want to make mad passionate love to just about every 'cellist I hear play.

[ZombieNixon]

47. That's not the point.

The point is...hypothetically of course (:evilgrin: :hide:)...if one *were* to burn a cello, it would burn longer than a viola. :D

[tjwmason]

48. It would indeed.

Hypothetically - and guessing based on the relative quantities of wood in them to be burned.

[In_The_Wind]

37. Please ~ don't dare me to do things.

[NewJeffCT]

38. what a lovely young lady

I wish I had a high school pic that I could upload...

[In_The_Wind]

67. Thank you, Jeff

That's the only picture I have from my high school days.

I'd love to see what you looked like when you were young.

[u4ic]

43. You look like you belonged

on a fashion magazine, Joan...:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

66. Would you believe that I was 16?

I forgot about my hair being that red.

Thanks, u4ic :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

79. I love the color of your hair!!

Rest of you looks pretty damned good too! :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

81. That was the all natural me.

I tried everything to gain a little weight. :shrug: guess what ~ it finally worked


:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

122. Look at that hot chick!

:hi: Great pic!

[In_The_Wind]

133. I'm blushing! Thank you.

I felt like such a geek back then. :blush:

:hi: :loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

134. I did too.

If I can get my scanner to work, I'll show you a high school pic! :)

[Ava]

45. well, I'm still in highschool!

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

83. Cheater.

:P

[Ava]

90. psh!

i can't help it! :P

[Sequoia]

114. Ha, ha...the lovely wood nymph.

[Ava]

115. LOL!

:spray:

:hi:

[u4ic]

50. I have one

and it's one too many x(

Anyone else use Sun-In way back when? :rofl:

[havocmom]

51. Since Matthew Brady took it, dare I risk exposing it to a scanner?

:shrug:

[progmom]

93. oh....is this you?

:P

[havocmom]

109. Nah, that's my sister

;)

[ThomCat]

119. Hey, that looks like my favorite Aunt!

She's a sweetie. :)

[Nailzberg]

52. Let me say goodbye to my anonymity first.

Alright. Here ya go.

[Left Is Write]

54. Me, age sixteen. Junior year.

[miss_american_pie]

55. You are so cute

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

56. Thanks! Where's yours?

[miss_american_pie]

60. Packed up already

We had four floor to ceiling bookcases and it made the room look tiny, so all the pics and most of the books are packed.

[Left Is Write]

61. Ahh....and nothing on the hard drive, I guess.

I have some more older pics around here, but I dumped them onto a CD when I got the new laptop last weekend and Mr. LIW purged the hard drive of my old computer. I'm too lazy to load up the CD. For this thread, I swiped my own picture of my Classmates.com profile! :D

My best old pics were scanned and put on zip disk. We no longer have a scanner OR a computer with zip drive. I guess I'll have to get a new scanner.

[miss_american_pie]

63. Oh I forgot about shutterfly

I was 15. 9th grade dance.

[RetroLounge]

78. ...

:wow:

RL

[Taverner]

68. Hottie ;)

[amerikat]

64. Self portrait senior year

[ThomCat]

120. Very cool.

Was the lighting deliberate or a happy accident?

[amerikat]

128. Intentional as I recall.

I was very into photography at the time.

[Redstone]

69. Sure, why not:

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

71. Redstone! I would have stayed sooo far away from you!

You look like pure trouble to me! :evilgrin: :loveya:

[Redstone]

72. I was walkin' trubba back then, for sure.

I'm better now, though.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

73. You've got plenty of reasons to be more angelic now.

Sometimes that's all any of us need ~ love from the right person. :thumbsup::yourock:

[Redstone]

74. Yep. Mrs R has sure saved me from myself. She told me, in no

uncertain terms, that if I'm in a perfectly good airplane, I have to STAY in it until it lands. No jumping out with a parachute inflight.

Not that it matters tonight, since I can't walk. I'm not going to jump out of any airplanes until I can.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

86. What happened?

I agree stay in the airplane even if there are snakes on board.


Why can't you walk?

[RetroLounge]

75. Well, since you dared me...

RL

[miss_american_pie]

76. Nice hat

;)

[RetroLounge]

95. I was wearing Trucker Hats before they were cool

:trendsetter:

RL

[miss_american_pie]

97. I was going to say old

but if you want to go with trendsetter. ;)

[RetroLounge]

99. and how long ago was this?

[miss_american_pie]

100. 14 years this month

:P

[RetroLounge]

101. 29, which is perfect.

I was told I should "date" someone half my age plus 7.

:D

RL

[miss_american_pie]

104. Date huh?

Maybe I'll let you lick my boots. ;)

[RetroLounge]

105. I would be most grateful...

:9

RL

[yvr girl]

84. When did you become my type

I don't think we'd have travelled in the same circles in high school.

[RetroLounge]

91. Well, it was 1979 after all

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure wed never see an end to it all
And I dont even care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
Theyre not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we dont even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought wed go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we dont care to shake these zipper blues
And we dont know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see theres no one around

[Kerrytravelers]

80. Me in Kentucky with my beloved Grandma and my cousin.

[Reverend_Smitty]

82. My senior year in Washington DC

Granted it was in 2002 so it's not that long ago therefore not to embarrassing

[Digit]

85. I wish I still looked like this

[Whoa_Nelly]

87. 1971

Beginning of my Junior year, age 16

[WCGreen]

89. They had no cameras back then....

Actually, I lost all my pic in a fire in my apt at OSU....

[progmom]

92. here's a few

dressed as a hippie my senior year (that's my baby brother trying to look like a greaser next to me)


that's me in the ridiculously large glasses, kneeling in the middle. tennis team - sophomore year.


with dizzy gillespie the summer before my senior year

[Richardo]

96. No wonder he was dizzy...

I'd be hyperventilating too. :)

[progmom]

110. you're sweet!

:hug:

[Fenris]

112. Acid-washed greaser!

:thumbsup::D

[Oeditpus Rex]

113. Did you tell your brother

that greasers didn't wear acid-washed jeans nor white mid-high Reeboks with the tongues out?

[progmom]

117. well, i did say *trying* yes?

:P

i would agree, he wasn't very successful.

[Oeditpus Rex]

121. Good point

I had to look like Danny Zukko a few times in the late '80s. I could fake it with the clothes pretty well — fortunately, I had an old pair of Converse black-and-white basketball shoes and some straight-legged Levis that were still quite blue. But my hair... I used about eight pounds of some pink gel on it, and it still refused to stay in a ducktail for more than about 30 seconds. x(

If I'd had a few gallons of Aqua Net, I woulda been dangerous. :scared:

[Shell Beau]

94. These are yucky and NOT new pics!!

[miss_american_pie]

[sasquatch]

123. You look like Fez from "that 70's Show"

[Blue_In_AK]

125. Okay...

Since I seem to have killed the "post a picture of yourself in a picture" thread, I'll see if I can do the same with this one, from way, way back in the Dark Ages.

[no name no slogan]

126. How about 1st year of college? (can't find any HS photos)
