The past unearthed. The evil revealed.

[hwango]

In the course of my cleaning rampage I have unearthed all kinds of strange and half-forgotten things. Among them, I found a copy of my "alternate" senior picture from high school. If I remember correctly, they mentioned that you could come with a change of clothes and get a few shots of yourself in some other outfit. I still can't believe that I did this. I was, of course, forbidden by my parents to use this as my actual picture in the yearbook, but I did get a bunch of wallet-size copies to hand out to friends. The picture was met with equal parts disbelief and enthusiasm.



I remember being nervous and thinking that they'd simply refuse to take the pictures, or that they'd be freaked out. As it turned out, the photographer found it highly entertaining and great fun to shoot.

I think the yearbook would have been far more interesting if you had used this picture.

I remember my yearbook picture rather vividly - I had my makeup and hair professionally done at a Glamour Shots franchise. The pictures were the best I'd ever had taken. It amused me to no end that several people asked if it was really me in the photo - and the level of disbelief that photo was met with. (What jerks some of those kids at CHS were.) *sigh*

Eee-hee-hee! Where did you go to, Reaper High? *giggles*

Man, if I can find that costume, and the photographer lets me, you are SO going to have a killing partner! *scurries off to nearest costume shop*

Well, the robe is my all-purpose robe-requiring-situation robe, originally made for me by my mother for use at a renaissance festival. The sickle is...a sickle. I bought it at a yard sale because I loved the idea of owning my own sickle. That's also why I own 2 scythes. They're kind of rusty, though, and would have been a bit unweildy to bring to the photographer.

By all means, do something wacky for your pictures, too. The world needs more wackiness.

We should get cutsey couple pictures someday, but with both of us weilding scythes... muhahahahaha...

I also recommend picture wackiness, at least with one of your photos. I had a senior picture with me wearing a t-shirt from my favorite heavy metal radio station, jeans and flannel, monkey slippers, surrounded by pink floyd records. My best friend came with me and we have one of us in matching heavy metal shirts and mickey mouse ears from when we went to Disneyland. It wasn't my final yearbook choice, but uber-fun nonetheless!

Your expression: Humour on top of intent on top of humour on top of... well, the mystery is part of the intrigue.

Adorable.

I never had a senior picture taken, nor a yearbook.
