Speaking of the 80s

A few years ago I bundled up all of my childhood yearbooks, photo albums, scrapbooks, and journals-everything from kindergarten through college-- and shipped them out to myself.

They got lost in UPS.

I get physically ill when I think about it, which is why I rarely talk about it.

My dear friend Jessica heard about this from my mother sometime before Christmas. Jessica and I have been friends since we were six. She was my first date. My first kiss. All of that. (well, not all of that.)

How awesome is Jess? Upon hearing that I lost all of the tangible memories of my youth, she went through her boxes and sent copies of photos from high school dances we went to together.

I love Jessica.

And I miss my hair.

I don't know where this one is from. I think it must be seventh grade Outdoor Education.

I think that is Laura Butler walking in front of me.

I can't remember why I went to the store, but I can remember what the back of Laura Butler's head looked like in the seventh grade. That's effed up.
