Project Ch-ch-ch-changes

I decided to create a project to see how we've changed since we became fruheads. (or at least, part of the community if you're not big into Fru.) For some of y'all, there's no change because you're new. But I was curious because many of us have been fans for many years now. So my project is to slap a couple of pics together...what you looked like in the beginning of your term, and something recent. How have we changed? Aged? Etc.

Here's me. First into Fru--late 1997.

heh.� i have pictures of myself with dave, murray, and jian, taken at shows in 1999.� the great thing about these pictures is that i weighed perhaps 60 pounds more than i do now.�� yuck.

edit:� perhaps i'll go the picture posting route when i have the resources i.e. not at work.

(from my profile)

That's me in high school (I graduated in 99, so the senior photo would have been taken in 98, I think). I got my first album, YYGTTM, in the summer of 98, so that should be fairly close to how I looked.

1997 - beginning of fruheadom (just after HS, fall in college):	1998 - fruheadom in full swing (in harvard square
2004, all dolled up:	about 3 minutes ago, not dolled up (2005):

o.O

So if I did mine from the beginning of "fruheadom," i'd be pretty much the same. Instead, I did pictures of myself since Fr�vous started.
(clockwise, starting from top left)
1- Me, 1992, Indie Tape era
2- I have no clue what year. but somewhere in between.
3- Last may, at the beach. No, the margarita isn't mine. ;)
4- This past may...because the last picture of me that I have, I have a black eye. So...no.

Well I've only been a member a year or so so the only difference is more gray hair. The first pic is about 10 years old, th e second is about a 30 minutes old. Sadly my 1991 Honda Civic has held up better

omg. i am ancient.

No, I'm ancient. :-)

ohmygodyoudon'tage.

1999:



2002:




2005:

no, but the portrait in my attic does.

erm.

Shhh. That's a thrilling plot device.

also, rosebud is a sled.

omg big change! :) I want Nate to post because I'm always shocked how much he's changed from when I was first aware of him. :) You kinda did a reverse-Nate. He got less hairy and you got more hairy! :)

umm. i'd love to contribute but how do you post pictures??

you may both be ancient. ;)
i was one in the first picture, i believe.

you can use the RTF editor on here and click the picture button (the little yellow bit with the mountain on it) and post the URL of the picture (you have to have it online somewhere) or you can simply type: (less than symbol) img src=http://www.urlofthepicture.com/mypicture.jpg (greater than symbol)

how long did it take you to turn into a hobbit?

nosering pic=teh sex.

hee!

thanks :)

what a fun project, andrea! Sorry these photos both rather suck in the quality department; kind of defeats the purpose when you're all pixel-y, but I suppose it makes the wrinkles harder to see:


me at my first fruvous show, June '98


me in a cruise ship cabin, March '05

Sorry there's not more of a "whoa, you look SO different" effect. At least the hair color's changed! :D

at least i'm not the only one who hasn't changed much...you're still lovely as ever.

is it just me or does dave look rather elderly in that photo?

Hee.
Yeah, I'll try to get pics done tonight... I was out on the river all day yesterday, then having a BBQ after that.

Perhaps we share the same hair, linked through subspace.
If can never grow longer or shorter, only transfer itself between two points :-)

Erm.
And perhaps I shouldn't talk until the morning coffee kicks in ;-)

I dunno when it happened but thank the sweet lord it did! :-)

I'd post some but talcott doesn't like all the handy buttons that help poor html tards like me so I'll have to wait. I haven't changed a WHOLE lot, just fatter and less pierced.

aww, shucks, thank you! I do wish I had beautiful, natural red hair like yours, though... :)

here's me....

97ish.. right when I got into them:	1999 at frucon II:
2001 at frucon IV w/ Jay in makeup, heh:	2005 in FL with my sister's (short) BF:

Thanks for letting me steal your table code, sheryls... saved me time. hehehe

he does. but he looks veerry elderly in this picture:

yet he's only... what... 39?

not to be cruel, but he doesn't look it.

It's a long one, but hey, that's what this thread is for. And I had a lot of fun going back over the different hairstyles :D

Me, circa 1997, ultra-fruhead:	March 2001, in Noho for 3 Song Circus
Summer 2001	Scary Frucon 2004 picture
Fall 2004	January 2005, after I cut my own hair
May 2005, buzzed	Earlier today

I saw you!

i'm so enjoying this thread because everyone is so cute. :)

I just have to say that you're beautiful now & always have been the prettiest girl I know.� I hate you. ;-)

Nate in 1997 looks a lot like this guy I used to date.� Except he looks like that now.� That reminds me... I should email him (the guy, not Nate).

I often have no point.

I'll ditto that but end it with "i love you" instead. :)

it'sa joolee!

1998 - About a year after I first bought Bargainville	2000 - long long hair
2003 - short short hair	This morning - half asleep, but filled with love

Code stolen w/o any permission from Sheryl&Naight. HAHAHAH SUCKAS! :) *luv*

awwwwwl.

How scary is it that I've known you through 3 out of 4 of those.
eep

Atleast now I can say I've actually met you in real life...makes it less creepy. :)

yeah, but it doesn't make YOU less creepy.
;)

Gosh, I'd hope not. I think 94.3% of my charm comes from my creepiness.

Ok Sheryl, when are you going to grace the cover of like Maxim, Wired, or some other geek-male-oriented magazine. Seriously, you are too cute to be a computer geek. :)

Well, here's December 2001:



2002ish:



February 2004:



Fall 2004:



Earlier this year:



I don't have a camera handy, but I'll get a pic when I get home. I look like the most recent pic with hair nearly as long as February 2004, and a crappy goatee.

Wow, you grew a lot between Dec. 2001 and 2002!!!

;)

I am as old as your car.

*falls over*

*helps nate up*

Heh.
thanks.

welcome. least i could do for my elders. ;)

Always happy to get a little help from a fetus.

;D

*swoon* oh...don't mind me....
