Sixth Grade. New Castle, Delaware, private Christian school, circa 1989.

"Please note that I am paler and more dark-haired than in kindergarten. That trend has continued to this day; my skin is now see-through and my hair is a big, black, curly vortex. Please also note the delicate styling of the half-up, half-down bangs, which took me about a can of hair spray a week (the aerosol kind, since I cared so little about the environment then -- reckless youth!). I enjoyed Milli Vanilli, measuring my emerging boobs, and being scared of backward lyrics in heavy metal songs. If you had asked me then, Jesus would have been my answer to everything." -- BeSarcastic
