OMG I will never be this cool, EVAR.
Actually, that’s a lie. I was TOTALLY THIS COOL IN 8TH GRADE. You can ask RaeJean.
I stole Kayley’s digital camera and found DOZENS of self portraits, almost all in the same pouty-lipped pose. There were probably a dozen just of Kayley and her best friend Taylor, and here are a few of those. I actually remember how hard it was being almost 14, feeling like a grownup, wanting to be taken seriously, but still acting like a kid most of the time. Part of me wants to break out the camcorder and capture some of their smart assiness, so I can show it to them in five years and watch them cringe! The other part of me wants to hang out with them.
And holy cats, can you imagine what life is going to be like in our household in another eight or nine years, when I have THREE teenage girls?

I love the last one. It shows they still have plenty of “kid” left in them to be that silly. But I totally remember the awkwardness of that age.

I have pics like that of myself at that age, too!!! I cringe to think how many I might have if I lived in the age of digital photography back then.
Those girls are too freaking adorable. And Taylor is going to be a knock-out!!! Holy moly.

I’m sure you were that cool. I don’t care what you say. I wouldn’t be friends with you if you weren’t cool.
