Happy Easter from NVP

You don't need to see the eggs to dye them.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from NVP

Hope it doesn't make you too green in the face!

Welcome home, William

So very glad to have you back.

I've been listening to old songs on my iTunes lately

And reliving my high school years, musically. Visually, they looked a lot like this:

LEAVE ME ALONE

ps on a related theme.

I guess it's a good thing there aren't many pictures of me ages 12-15

But, honestly, I would have so many more gems for this site if that were the case. Alas, unless my parents have stashed them to spring on me at some inopportune time, I believe the case is closed and these few will have to do.

Side note: Remember disposable cameras? Not too good for taking Myspace pictures of one's self. I guess that's why Myspace didn't exist yet.

Watching the My Super Sweet 16 episode of South Park made posting this photo seem pertinant.

Not Very Pretty, The Tweenage Years

Here, Young William and I attempt to mimic a gargoyle door knocker and do a magnificent job. Gargoyles are not meant to be pretty and neither were we. Also, please note that this is the time in my life when I decided half eyebrows were better than full eyebrows.

Not Very Pretty, The Tweenage Thug Years

Or maybe drug years?
I'm not sure, I hardly remember them.

Not Very Pretty, The Tween Years

This is not the same day as my previous post, I just really loved that shirt at this time. It and about two others were all I would wear.

A side note: the pretty woman in the painting behind me is Penelope Pagett-Barker, a revolutionary hero who I did a report on in 5th grade and then portrayed in the wax museum. She is from a small town called Edenton, North Carolina, which is where this picture was taken.

Oh wait

Another, before I go:

A first-day-of-school shot.

My first day of senior year of high school (my last first day of high school) and his first day of freshman year of high school (his first first day of high school).



ps
THREE DAYS!!!

Not Very Pretty, The Tween Years

Don't try to mess with this.
