1992

4/11/2015 i found a better picture from that same day.



yeah. my bff in high school? she was a decent photographer, when she tried.
she was not trying here.
but as she was pretty much the only person taking pictures of me in that era, i'm grateful for this.

believe it or not i barely did me a lick of drugs until i was closing in on thirty: i just, i always, always, always look stoned off my ass in high school bff's snapshots.
this is possibly because i just always kind of looked stoned.
this is possibly because i perpetually read as stoned even when i'm bone sober.
but there's the hideous 1970s mod lamp. that i purchased at a garage sale. in 1991.
yeah baby.
i think i got rid of it because it became a fire concern.
not surprising. maybe teenagers shouldn't buy things.

whatever the case, damn does this picture makes me feel weird.
chips in the rim of the universe.

i actually got that jim morrison poster more for the sexuality of it than anything. $5 drugstore erotica and i didn't even have to hide it from my parents. it was pleasant to have such angles in my immediate vicinity. i used to like letting him watch me sleep.
