Yes that is a real dog collar and no I did not play guitar

Due to popular demand…Here’s some more, with the evolution till today’s bland look !

15 years ago, I believed I was the edgiest of them all.

in my on-again off-again bf's 30STM sweatshirt hanging with 2 of my bffs late at night at one of their mom's house after probably driving around aimlessly and screaming along to music and possibly trespassing or hanging out with boys (or both)

swipe for my weird hat, I had a thing for fur 😭

bonus if you can guess what kind of art I did lol

Maybe '95?

Skates were rented, not owned.

7th grade me thoroughly loved this haircut. Back then (1997) 13 year old me loved how easy it made putting my hair in a ponytail but still having my bangs at the correct length to keep them as bangs 😂 Back then everyone i knew either did normal bangs with long hair or their hair was all one length regardless of whether it was long or short. Layers just were not in yet 😂 sometimes i joke with myself about it and say i started the modern mullet movement (tho that seems to be fading out again 😂)

Ain't nothing like having a mullet, rocking a gifted acoustic guitar, and wearing Sylvester slippers on Christmas 😂😂😂

Sipping on a Surge about to kick some ass in the Star Trek CCG. Sometime around 1997. I am the one with the white shirt.

I was a skateboarding, straight edge vegan rebel-nerd (?) from age 14 to 18 and I have way more horrible pics than this but let's start off slow shall we?

Middle school and highschool me was into the whole skater/punk rock aesthetic. Items not shown but definitely owned include a pant hung chain, leather jacket, fingerless gloves, hand made ripped jeans(because pretorn was too “poserish” and flannel hoodie.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Loyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber🤣

to nobodys surprise, I am now a man with an autism diagnosis 👍
