Last night my oldest friend stayed over at my apartment after having a lovely Italian dinner at Burrard and Smithe in Vancouver. We were on my laptop looking through our more recent clubbing pictures at Celebrities during the Halloween weekend. In my mass amounts of photos we came across some pictures we took when we were 12/13 thinking we were the coolest kids around. HOLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I cannot even describe how awkward these pictures were...
But when I remember these days between ages 12-14 I really did think I was this invincible tween. Having everything to offer to the world, on top of it all, starting to wear make up and having friends sleep over. Was that not the best feeling? The first whiff of independence. When viewing these pictures my friend kept on commenting, "How did people allow us to be alive!!!????".
There's a couple particular pictures where I was 13, had metal braces, an awkward hair cut, awkward body, awkward clothes... everything. And my friend and I were in Bruce Mines, Ontario (near Salute Ste. Marie) on a tug boat. And no, I have no idea what the whole ordeal was with this tug boat, but apparently it's a big deal during Canada Day. Because we were "THE SHIT" we were spotting all the guys on the tug boat we thought were hot. One special man got his picture taken by us... about 50 times. Where I would be pretending to be walking around the tug boat near him, and my friend would pretend to be taking my picture, when really she was zooming up on him. WOW WE WERE SO AWKWARD. Half the pictures are of him looking right at us like "Really? WTF" and then us in the background running away, huddling, and giggling being so impressed that we captured him on camera.
I don't understand how our little brains worked then, but all I know is I'm glad I don't have the same mind frame. Or else I would probably never leave my apartment and only take online courses so I'd never have to deal with the outside world and socializing.
Dear friend, I had to make this blog. Just saying.
(There is no way I am posting one of those photos- it is way too embarrassing. So I'll give you something else that reminds me of it)
