Sadly, my goth and my “act like a ham for the camera” phase seemed to coincide during my first two years of college or so. There are many, many photos from this period, including some that make me cringe a little bit when I see them. It was during this time that I dyed my hair jet black and let it grow out to about shoulder-length, resulting in some minor questioning from my family and some odd looks (and rather vicious rumors) from people in my small town when I visited home during the holidays and summers.
I can’t seem to recall who took this particular picture, but for some reason it’s my favorite. It’s mainly because of the odd perspective, but partially because I’m not smiling at all, despite the cheesy finger-pointing pose. I was so, so, serious. Oh yeah, and to top it all off, I’m wearing a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt. Head like a hole, dudes!

You had that pair of Rockports when we first started dating. By that time, they were held together with duct-tape. Your other pair of shoes were a pair of gnarly, very worn and dirty running shoes. You also had several mustardy brown jackets that someone gave you that you wore all the time.
Remember how I made you go shoe shopping and turned you on to the joys of a well-deserved pair of new shoes? Now look at you, rocking the vintage ties and dress shirts every day! My scruffy nerfherder is all growed up!

For the record, that is a vintage T-Stiles picture.
