My high school look was so extra that if you lived in Seattle 25 years ago just talking about my hair and jacket could dox me.
Becky?
Edit: Oh ... Hi Brad.
No but hi (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
My high school look started off so extra. It pivoted so slightly, yet thoroughly, to whatever the opposite of extra is, that if I described it and dropped a location I'd probably dox myself.
One of my school photos got swooped up and put on bad 90’s hair trends lists. I was just being an asshole for my id photo though. Every once and awhile I get tagged by a friend in a comment “ is this you?”
Same, what have you got to lose?
Anonymity
I meant, might as well get weird with your fashion.
Oh. Same answer. I was known beyond my circle of friends.
I bet we've met at a house party held by one of the Sam's from Center School. That or a Burner "art fundraiser/party".
See you on the dance floor.
Hahah! I hadn't even heard of Center School, I was up in Wallingford. Your neck of the woods was definitely cooler than mine.
I mean, Wallingford has some awesome peeps too. I'm not "from" here, but was brought into the fold by some locals 15 years ago and have had many house party encounters with people that have lived here their entire lives and families have been here for generations (good buddy of mine has family dating back to the founding of Ballard).
And we are all hanging out all over the city partying. Crocodile, Tractor Tavern, El Corazon, Nectar Lounge, Comet, Columbia City Theater, OG Funhouse, Nuemos & Barboza, and sooo much more.
Seattle is a fun city. And if you can find your peeps, this place will raise you up.
I left a few years ago, but by then it had changed a lot. Seattle has always been a boomtown, and I think it's more my style during the busts.
In this new place I haven't had time to find a crowd, too busy being dad. Most of England feels like the rundown side of a gold rush though, all faded glory. Works for me.
Nice, same. Then I reverted to corporate boring after high school and am now finding my freedom again.
