This was the photo of the horrible drawing I drew 25 years ago. There was the elementary school's class reunion last month. But I didn't go because I don't like to socialize with some people I haven't seen for a decade. I am sure you try to carry on the conversation and give them a weird smile while you are still not sure whom you are talking to. I was on vacation actually. Anyway, 25 years ago, in our elementary school, there was this event to store things in a vacuumed big atomic bomb shelter looking time capsule... In there, they got our own drawing of ourselves, and messages to ourselves 25 years later. They also had essays written by ourselves what we would be doing 25 years later... My friend kindly took every crappy things of mine from the vacuumed time capsule and gave these to me last night. (He is actually a homo but that's another story) Yes, this is supposed to be me when I was 6. The message to myself now (25 years later from then) was really horrible. "Are you still alive?" God, I was that cool and non-romantic back then? Even though the essay about what I thought I'd be doing 25 years later was very embarrassing, I was able to see "me" in each letter I wrote. Then, I realized "my personality hasn't changed much ever since then". When I looked at these things and talked with my friend about elementary school days, I was embarrassed, felt nostaligic, and happy at the same time. I am older but I am still happy. I hope I will be still happy 25 years later from now (even if I am dead). :-) I hope you are happy and will remain happy, too! This was definitely a weird gift from 25 years ago... Anyway, Have a happy weekend!
That was so sweet! :)
We never did anything like that in my school days. My 30th anniversary high school reunion is next year (YIKES!) but I'm not planning on going, because I didn't like most of those people then, so why would I want to see them now?
Enjoy your weekend!! :)
that's actually kind of cool.
and i guess, until you finally decide to post a photo of your face, we'll have to settle with this self-portrait. (^__^)
That was really one of the best posts I have read in blogland. It was so weird and cool. 25 years ago.....in a kid's head. Your head.
PS That was a very good drawing for a six year old.
Hell, I can't even draw that good now.
Have a wonderful week-end! :-)
That blew me. How I wish I did something like this when I was so much younger. Well, it's never too late, maybe I should do one soon, then I could open it when I'm 50. :-) Have a fine weekend!
So any planning to do it again ;)
That is so cool.
I like your drawing, I think you were very cute 25 years ago :)
I haven't been to any of my school reunions. I didn't like it the first time, I don't know why I'd like it any better now.
the coolest thing about your whole post is that you have a friend who knew you then. my oldest friend is from my college days. sometimes i wish i still had friends from when i was in elementary school ...
*smooches*
Aw, I bet it was kind of weird to read what you wrote when you were 6, and that it still reminded you of 'you.' I have to say you look kind of...scared in that picture. Was that on purpose?
You are not scared now though! Happy weekend.
TK
Glad to know you were just as fabulous 25 years back then :)
Hi TigerYogi,
30th :-) To be honest, I haven't been to any of my class reunion before because I don't know I am always busy and I am not good at looking back old days since I have so many things nowadays :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Raph,
Like I sent you an e-mail with "some thing", I am not sure if I would like to post a photo of my face as I am not too pretty. :-( Yeah, this self portrait would do :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Maggie,
Thanks very much but I found it really non-issue. People around me went "ohhhh" while I didn't think about it much :-) Actually, I am always sloppy at drawing but I continue to do that :-( huh. you have a fantabulous weeK!
Hi Makeurchoice,
Time capsule thing? Nope. Not really. We were forced to do that :-) You have a fantabulous week!
HI Cesar,
I think there is a photo of me 26 years ago on this website but I guess I looked cute because I was innocent? YOu have a fantabulous week!
Hi Goblinbox,
That's good that you don't go to any of it and that's good that you gave it at least a try once. I haven't gone to any. :-( But I am planning not to :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Vuboq,
Really? If I count how many I still keep in touch, I guess I have more friends from early days like elementary school and junior high. I don't really have a lot of friends from college actually. Anyway... you have a fantabulous week!
Hi T.Kevin,
Yeah, it was totaly weird and embarrassing. :-) I don't think I drew that way on purpose as I was always bad at drawing it naturally turned that way :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi Paul,
I am not sure if I was fantabulous or am fantabulous :-) hehe you have a fantabulous week!
Yeah, I'm impressed that you've still got a friend from infant school! My oldest friend is from sixth form (age 16). That time capsule idea is pretty cool. My friends and I were going to do that at college once, but we never did; I wish we had, it would have been fascinating to compare what our expectations were at the time with what our reality turned out to be. Could also have been very depressing though I guess!!
