[Haole Girl]

[skygazer]

10. How was it the wrong thread?

That was a great photo. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

12. I just don't feel like it belonged

Sorry.

[skygazer]

15. Well, it wasn't awkward

You looked great. I love to ski - haven't been in years. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

31. Is this one awkward enough for you?!

I was 14 here. lol

[skygazer]

34. You're still not awkward

You're very cute. :hi:

[Haole Girl]

38. Thanks. That is a dreadful pic!

Now, I'll probably see it on some redneck joke on the internets!

:scared:

[billyskank]

24. Post the 16 pic!

:loveya:

[Haole Girl]

28. Ok

Awkward or not, I felt that way back then.

[RetroLounge]

6. Was that you?

:D

RL

[skygazer]

17. Hee hee

You were a great kisser back then, anybody ever tell you that? ;)

[lizziegrace]

22. ...

you'd have gotten my attention.

Sigh...


:hug:

[Arugula Latte]

57. Were you an extra in Dazed and Confused?

Hee hee! :D

No, really, good pic! :thumbsup:

[otherlander]

101. Hey!

You look like this one guy who works at the gas station in my town!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. my grandparents and i (at 16)

[skygazer]

7. Which just goes to show that you were always gorgeous

And never awkward. :wow:

[Taverner]

96. You just don't age do you

:)

[Neoma]

5. Awkward enough for ya?

[skygazer]

8. You look a little like your flamingo in that pic

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. 14

Before I met any hair stylists.

[skygazer]

11. But at least you've ditched the bow tie

:rofl:

[lizziegrace]

14. Heh

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Yeah, for a really cool generic racing jacket

:eyes:

[lizziegrace]

18. Awww....

:pals:





:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. Seriously

Every time I see the "That '70s Show" episode where Kitty buys Hyde a red jacket with "Daredevil" on one arm, I think of the jacket in that photo. :blush:

[lizziegrace]

44. Yeah, I can see how that would cause some wicked flashbacks

:P


I love Kitty. She's so clueless sometimes.

[lizziegrace]

13. From a newspaper article - I was 16

I either conveniently forgot the awkward times or I just grew into an awkward adult. I think it's the latter.

[skygazer]

19. I remember those striped days

The only time I ever made the newspaper was when I led a protest at the high school. :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

20. Those were 1977 stripes

my senior year.

;)


Once a rebel, always a rebel? :hug:

[skygazer]

21. Class of '79 here

Yup, I knew I knew those stripes. And yeah, my first protest was in kindergarten when the teacher wanted me to sit in a pink chair because I was a girl. x(

[lizziegrace]

26. Way to go!!

:)

She who will not be stereotyped.

[billyskank]

23. This is my only teenage pic

Right around my 18th birthday:

[skygazer]

27. The suit and the shades look

Very stylish. :thumbsup:

[JVS]

37. have you ever seen welcome to the dollhouse?

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. I have no awkward teenage pics

loaded on my computer. :silly::rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

33. I could easily make some!

:evilgrin:

Nahhh ... :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. Freeze evildoer!!!

Don't you dare! I'll cry.. really, I will! :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

62. Hmmm, what about this old polaroid?

"Baby loves's U"???!!!???? That is soooo Nineties!



Look at your hair! And why's the guy cut off?

[RevolutionaryActs]

65. Damn it! You suck

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

67. I'll send your diary back tomorrow. ;)

Babys's!

[RevolutionaryActs]

68. LOL

Damn you Swiss, thinking you're hot stuff, what with your chocolate and watches! :P

[Call Me Wesley]

Ha! As if *I* need these mundane shallow things!

[RevolutionaryActs]

71. You're such a pimp

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Oh, not this ... again!

:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

36. Me, just barely 17...

...in 1980, using waaaaaaaayyyy too much makeup to cover the zits...:rofl: :hi: :yoiks: It was taken approximately two weeks before I truly became a Naughty Girl. :P ;)

[skygazer]

40. Look at those rosy cheeks!

I wish I still had my high school portrait - one of the most awkward photos ever. God, I hated those posed shots. :P

[NewWaveChick1981]

43. I did too...

They took it in front of a bluescreen background in the high school auditorium about a week before classes started. Then the photo people dropped in all kinds of "natural" cheesy backgrounds. I chose the least offensive. :P :rofl: Yeah, 17 and rosy-cheeked! Thanks! :) :D

[Taverner]

99. Daaaaaaaamn! Pure nectar there NWC!

[BarenakedLady]

41. 80's hair

[NewWaveChick1981]

45. I had 80s hair too.

:P Strangely enough, it was in the 80s. :rofl: :hi:

That's a nice pic! :)

[BarenakedLady]

47. That must have been 1987-1988

80's hair, 80's clothes, 80's blue eyeshadow.

:scared:

[NewWaveChick1981]

50. I never did the blue eyeshadow thing.

But I had big wavy hair and wore 80s clothes...:yoiks:

[skygazer]

51. Oh, yeah, the blue eyeshadow

I had a friend who used so much, we used to call her "Lightbulbs". :P

[skygazer]

46. Gotta say you looked better with less hair and naked

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

49. Indeed.

[billyskank]

70. .

:*

[Inchworm]

54. Still yummy to me BNL

:loveya:

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

56. Hi you!

How are you today?

:hug:

[Inchworm]

58. Hi back atcha!

Doing as well as can be expected. I am not a big fan of Sundays. It means people are around and I can't relax in the nude. x(

Also I usually feel crappy on sundays from Saturday night. I did fairly well in that arena last night though. :)

How is the day going for you sexy beast? :evilgrin:

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

60. Day is going okies.

I'm bored atm.

Where is your awkward teenage picture, hmmmmm? ;)

[Inchworm]

64. lol- I was camera shy

I don't have awkward so much as I have funny lookin :D

:)

[BarenakedLady]

66. Lies!

I'm sure you were quite handsome as a teenager.

[Inchworm]

69. Hmm.. I have 3 teenage pics

All of which I was already a dad. Lemme look at 'em and see which looks goofiest :D

You'll see...

:)

[billyskank]

59. Hello.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

61. Hi!

:hi:

[JVS]

79. SWEEET!

[Guava Jelly]

Scary shit

[skygazer]

52. Looks like you and Oedi had the same stylist

Cute. :)

[Guava Jelly]

53. we need to hunt him down

and kick his ass :)
your picture is very cute btw :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

55. Harumph!

I was never such a dweeb as to wear my hair behind my ears. :eyes:

[Guava Jelly]

90. The chicks found it sexy

:D
Hey didn't you used to steal my lunch money!!! :mad:

[Sequoia]

94. Nice hair on serious boy.

That's cute.

[stuntcat]

63. that's a great pic skygazer!

it's awkward to you but it's really cute!

I had a lot of horrible pictures from my teens (like the time I cut my own hair right before we had class pictures taken) but of course I haven't scanned them :D

This one's when I was 16 I think-

[skygazer]

76. Why, thank you

Your eyes are nicely crossed but your tongue hasn't reached your nose. :rofl:

[Inchworm]

72. Goofy grin more than awkward.

The day daughter was born. I was 18 or 19. I'm the one with the speedbrake ears and goofy grin. :D



:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

73. Awww

You look happy!

What is that thing growing under your nose? ;)

[Inchworm]

74. Thats no thing

It's a caterpillar aka flava savah!

:blush:

[skygazer]

77. Inchworm! You're adorable!

:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

75. Okay.

Age 14...




Age 14...




16th birthday...

[skygazer]

78. You're so cute

And not awkward at all. I wish I'd had that kind of poise at that age - the only photos I have are ones where people snuck up on me. :rofl:

[Left Is Write]

80. Well...to be truthful, I was past my awkward stage by then.

12 and 13 were horrific years for me, and if I posted a picture of myself in the middle of 8th grade (age 13) complete with heavy-framed glasses and anorexic figure, I'd scare the devil out of everyone. Including me!

[Tyler Durden]

91. Most DEFINITELY teenage crush bait.

Yeouch.

You had longing glances cast your way in numbers you cannot grasp.

I owe you one geekphoto, but I don't have one handy.

[Taverner]

98. Dayum - always a cutie!

[LeftyFingerPop]

81. Me at age 17

The hair....I know...gimme a break...it was 1975!

[skygazer]

82. I can relate - my pic is from '77

I think you look great. :hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

83. Thank you...

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

84. Yes, I just looked at your pic...

you look very nice, and we look about the same era.

[BrotherBuzz]

85. From this....

to this almost overnight:

[skygazer]

86. So you grew a mustache?

:shrug:

[BrotherBuzz]

87. Started smoking stogies

[DarkTirade]

88. My parents have all the pics of me in my awkward phase.

I was fairly lucky, it didn't last long... but even in the low-quality long-distance pics you can still see the huge horrific acne clusters that covered my entire face for about two years. :P
It hit really hard my junior year of high school. Freshman year... I dated a girl each semester. Sophmore year, same. Junior year... NOTHING. Barren all year. Senior year, acne had cleared up, and I dated a girl each semester yet again.

[regnaD kciN]

89. Skygazer, how can you call that "awkward"...???

Rest assured that the sixteen-year-old me would have had a massive crush on the sixteen-year-old you (which would have led to nothing, because I was practically the definition of "awkward" through my teen years -- fortunately, none of my teenage photos are in machine-readable form). ;-)

[skygazer]

92. I love your username!

I was just thinking of Nick Danger last night, specifically - "It had been snowing in Santa Barbara since the top of the page and I had to shake the cornstarch from my mukluks as I lifted the heavy obsidian door knocker." :rofl:

(and thanks :blush: )

[Seashell Eyes]

93. yay for awkward teenage photos.

Me at 14.
I had braces, acne and eyebrows that I'd overpluck and then fill in with permanent marker. Not a good idea.


Me now.

[johnnie]

95. Last day of school- ever 1983

I seemed to always have a good time back then. Still do I guess:

[Taverner]

97. Me. Age 16. 1986. Fila jacket and butthead hairstyle in place.

[Seashell Eyes]

100. Not bad for the '80s

butthead hairstyle :rofl:
