So a long time ago, I had straight hair. I was also 13, and judging on my clothing, thought I was a surfer.


Fast forward to 16. At this point I'd joined the forums and apparently thought I was a punk ass motherfucker.


My senior year of high school (17), still unfortunately parting my hair.


Off to college, learned how to handle my stupid hair. 18


Age 20- now with bangs and attitude!

[Patatat]

It took eleven pictures to span a three year gap for us?

Its a fuckin' picture thread, people post pictures. I am sure there is another thread around here for you to discuss your angst and be a general bitch.

[0bsessions]

Validate my internet existence!

To elaborate this more than the original douche baggery to respond to douche mongery I had initially intended: This is not "a photo thread." It is a thread that contains photos. There is a strict point to this thread and while I don't really care for said point, don't get your shit all up in a knot when someone calls you on basically ignoring the point of the thread. It may hurt your apparently delicate ego to realize this, but there's very little point in a ten or so image photodump to exhibit a scant three years of your life unless you're Drick and go through more styles in two months than most people do in two decades.

Edit: That part was thrown up quickly after making the post. For a reference point to Patatat's follow up, pretend I only posted the Quote portion. Upon immediate reflection, I decided it needed elaboration and Patatat responded in that time. This is being thrown in for the sake of not post-grabbing too badly.

[Patatat]

You're doing the same thing Obsessions.

You know how when there's a photo of Paris Hilton she is always making the same face?

What are you trying to prove.

[0bsessions]

Nothing you didn't prove for me already, so I suppose my presence here is redundant! Carry on, thread!

[Dimmukane]

You just didn't need to have so many photos for only three years, is all.  The point of the thread was to show how different you looked back whenever, not to post every picture that happened along the way.  

Personally, I would've dropped number 2,3,4,6,8 and 10.  Probably wouldn't have created such a backlash with half the photos.

PS: Sorry for bringing it right back up.

[jhocking]

Why do you guys spend so much time nitpicking other people's posts? If you really don't have anything better to do, go play some videogames or something, just stop being dicks.

Man, I think we need a troll to shit all over the forum, so that you guys get some perspective on what a problem actually is.

[Spluff]

That's hardly a good attitude for what is supposed to be an open forum that anybody can contribute to. I understand you all like to maintain your own little group, but attacking people that aren't part of your group doesn't help the forums at all - and heaven forbid that the person responds in kind, because then the rest of you will all jump down their throat.

I don't know redglasscurls at all. I've never talked to her and didn't side with her on any matter of her internet popularity or some such. I responded because she made a valid observation that a good many of us were probably thinking ourselves. She wasn't particularly rude about it, just a little snarky, which is par for the course on this forum (And pretty much every forum I go to, for that matter). He decided to take it way overboard and call her an unfounded name. It's got nothing to do with who she is, that's just general intolerable disrespect on what is generally a respectful forum. I'm generally held as a huge dick, but I still don't tend to go around calling people a bitch over something so trivial.

Edit: Man, I sure did say general a lot in there. I have a vicious head cold, please pretend that was fully coherent. I'm pretty sure the point came across: Don't be shitty and you won't be treated shitty.

[StaedlerMars]

Johnny, that is a really intimidating picture you've got there.

I would keep that. It works well.

[jhocking]

when anyone calls Manda (or indeed any of our alumni) a bitch

Oh I didn't even notice that post. In that case, what I said applies to patatat; get a little perspective dude, lashing out like that is just stupid.

[usmcnavgeek]

Less stupid shit, more photos of people looking funny when they were 11.

1995-ish:

[ZJGent]

I like how your glasses in the middle picture are super chunky framed military spec bastards, and after all the rough and tumble was over you reverted to the clean-line circular silver ones. As though whichever branch of fighting legion you applied to demanded that you attend their "all-weather, all-terrain" optician!

P.S. I prefer the silver ones - they suit you much better!

[redglasscurls]

Man, I'm pretty sure I defended him in another thread too:/ Maybe that was somebody else.

Navgeek- I have a friend in the Marines, he says everyone calls those glasses the military's birth control measure;)

[öde]

I kinda like 'em.

[jodizzle]

Wait wait, are you guys saying that they HAVE to wear those frames if they need glasses?  Fuck that shit doods.

[Ozymandias]

Only in basic training. They are pretty commonly called BCGs(birth control glasses). Standard issue, nigh-indestructable.

[Jace]

Alright, I can only go as far back as being a freshman in high school.
So lets start there.


Look at me, with my wear pants so low and my ridiculous long hair. In the background was the damnable hat I wore all the time. Oh being a freshman. Pretty sure I was 14, but it might have been near christmas, so I would have been 15.


So yeah, I grew my hair really long... I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I was a sophomore there. I was 15


So, yeah, I had a devilock. And I was that guy, just because I was going to see the misfits. I was a junior there. It was october 20th. Later that night, I got me some in the back of my car. I still had the devilock. I was 16


I sorta had a devliock, I just never wore it, also curly hair thanks to wearing a luchador mask to an mc chris concert. This was like 20 days after I graduated high school. It was halloween. I was still 17 though.


Minutes ago. I have found that between the time I graduated high school and now, I have learned to fucking smile. And I'll be 19 in like a month and a half.

[De_El]

Your new smile is very goofyfriendly.  I actually thought that your hair looked pretty okay in the 1st and 4th pics, but it is also fitting as it is now.

[Jace]

Thank you? I like to smile now, people either get scared like "why is he smiling, there's people wanting to fight" or they're all "oh wow, he looks really happy even though he's wearing the most ugly tie evar"

Also, in retrospect, I may have had a mohawk in the 4th picture, it looks like I'd shaved the sides of my head a few weeks prior, which would make sense. I did that for a while.

[jodizzle]

I did that for a while.

I have been doing that for years

[cupcakeonastick]

Most of my younger photos are backed up on my sister's computer so I can only start with 2004:

I am 18, at a film festival, and incredibly dorky. I actually love this picture.


Here I am 20, fresh from an amazing boating trip down in the Gulf - I spent half that year in Pensacola, FL which has huge creatures/bugs but awesome boating adventures.


21, at my sister's wedding (it took the girl almost two hours to put my hair up and curl ... I have too much hair and no patience for wedding primping).


And a bonus 21 picture to showcase the fact that I actually allowed my hair to get long AND remain my natural hair color (something I hadn't done since 7th grade)


And though not the most recent picture of me, of those I have online this best showcases the hair I have right at this moment (a bit longer now) and my newest glasses. I'm 22.

[valley_parade]

Malorie, where in the frickles have you been?

[Patatat]

Yeah, I probably shouldn't of called her a bitch, but I am going through a lot right now and basically snapping at everyone for everything.

So, redglasscurls I apologize.

[cupcakeonastick]

Malorie, where in the frickles have you been?

Well first it was work and settling into NC. Then it was OMGWORKDIE and social life. Very quickly the former took over completely and then I had a few family matters and a lot of travelling (mostly because of family).

This is actually the first week or so that I've had any time to myself AKA significant time online. And now it appears Gabbly is hiding from me.

OLLIE OLLIE OXEN FREE GABBLY.

[Jace]

I did that for a while.

I have been doing that for years
[picture]

You are amazing. Why aren't we friends yet?

I also had to cut mine for work, and if I didn't my instructor would have grabbed my hair and cut it off. They look down upon that sort of thing.

[penfolder]

Me when I was either 17 or 18, I forget:



And me now.....5 or 6 years later!



My god Im getting old now

I guess those sunglasses are due for an update.  They've lasted me a fair while.

[David_Dovey]

When I saw Julia's first pic I really expected everyone after that was gonna have her throwing up the forks

[Johnny C]

I lost it when I scrolled to the bottom of this picture. That's priceless.

p.s. girl you taaaanned

[Lummer]

Hmm, something in Page 2 of this thread makes my browser go GRAAAAAARAGRRHAGHGRHAAHGAHRGRGRHUABL*die*.

Anyway, It's my turn now!

Here I am at 15, at a school party. Yes, I had spiked hair. That was thankfully not a regular thing.
Circa 2001


2003-ish. I had grown me some hair, and gotten contact lenses. I really miss that hair nowadays, because the sheer weight and thickness of it made it awesome for headbanging, even though it wasn't THAT long.



Then at one point, I had military service. The cutting of hair isn't mandatory in the danish army, but it is still a LOT more practical. I shudder to think how it would have been to wear those helmets with my thick-ass hair.
Mid-2005


Then I started a band that went nowhere, save for the cover of a shitty local newspaper.
Circa 2006, May-ish.


Then I got a new pair of glasses, which I've worn a lot since.
This is a month ago. This also goes to show, that the way I dress has not changed AT ALL. Now I just have cooler bands on my T-shirts.


And this is 30 seconds ago. Unshaven, hair down and chilling-at-home-and-not-giving-a-fuck-about-the-way-I-look-y

[valley_parade]

In 2006, I was a blurry mess that may have been wearing a green hat.



There was a brief period pre-Christmas 2007 where my face had been replaced by a blank sheet of paper



Earlier this year I'd be attacked by stripey sweaters. They nearly made me late for the Stephen Malkmus show!



And this was me last week, drinkin' a beer.
