I was working as a waitress in a local restaurant and hating every minute of it. :D I was trying to figure out where I could get a horse farm job so that I could get my 12 months experience that I needed to qualify for a program that would get me a training visa for a farm in Kentucky. I've always been a jeans and t-shirt type person so that's probably what I was wearing.

My now 20 year old was just starting school. I would have been wearing my staple of sarong, bare feet and singlet. I did dress up once for my cousins wedding in Sydney in a hot red clingy strappy dress I borrowed from my besty.
I still have the photo of myself dancing with my dad, It has pride of place above the TV:(

I was 10 years old. I guess that would make me in 5th grade or so. Oh man...4th-7th grades were my awkward stage. I was beyond chubby and wore glasses about as big as my face. We had a dress code at school so we had to wear khaki, navy, or black pants with a tucked-in collared shirt. It wasn't very flattering on anyone, much less the nerdy, chubby girl.

I was the spelling bee champ in my class. We had a one every Friday. They eventually made me sit out so that the other kids would have a chance to win.

We had a Harriet Tubman play. I played someone...I don't know who. I just remember I got to crawl through cardboard boxes. I was pumped.

I had the biggest crush on Francisco. He barely spoke English. I never told him how I felt. I don't guess it would have mattered anyway because he wouldn't have understood what I was saying. Haha.

I am pretty sure my biggest dream in life was to become a Spice Girl. I never fulfilled that dream. :(

I was 14 and a freshman in high school. I don't remember the fashion much but part of me wants to say that was when wide legged jeans were in.

He said 15 years ago buddy, not 15 minutes ago. :tooth


I'm also pretty sure that last I checked, Abcinthia was a SHE not a HE. ;)

15 years ago I was....8 years old. We had just recently moved back to Phoenix from a suburb of Las Vegas. 3rd grade was pretty cool, I guess. I actually had friends when I was in elementary school, as opposed to MS and HS where I had none. :p I always wore tshirts and jeans to school unless it was like the first day or picture day or something. And I had a wicked perm. :p

I'm guilty of being into boy bands when I was in elementary school. And the Spice Girls. I even had the movie. :D

I was 9, in school and living it up. I did what I want, when I wanted. Played football and rode bikes all day during summer and the weekends. In school I was finally doing alright, for ages they thought I had learning difficulties, but I started to excel in English and History (mainly because we had a great history teacher who organised fun things. To this day I don't have many happier memories than as a 9 year old running around in leopard print and a cardboard Obsidian blade proclaiming myself to be an Eagle Warrior.)
On the sports side, I was vice captain of green house and really competitive, we used to finish second to yellow a lot of the time and that bugged me.

Our maths teacher in year 10 was great too. He used to go to the bookies every friday and in our lessons that afternoon he let us calculate his odds and also make up our own for stuff. It was awesome :D

I was 27...working as a property manager for the gov't, managing a senior hockey team and sitting on several committees in the community.

I was on the fly all the time....going to bars, parties, sporting events, you name it. We knew EVERYONE it seemed.

As far as clothes go...I was always dressed up back then, usually short skirts, tights and high boots, otherwise it would be big, bulky sweaters and jeans (usually my b/f's).

Ummmmm, I was 10, about to be 11 in July. I was in ballet, and diving head first into my awkward phase. I was ugly as hell and pudgy :24:

I think I liked the Spice Girls? This was before Nsync, I believe...before I started middle school, before I started playing the trumpet. Also before I got my dog...what a boring year!

I remember very specifically wearing over-all shorts D: I had purple ones, so putrid. A lot of really ugly clothing- flares were coming back, and I think I wore a lot of sweater vests because they were ALL the rage.
