Josh and I at 20.

Oct 22, 2008 05:33

When Josh and I were 20 he won a PTQ and was able to go to Pro-Tour Venice. I was helping him plan and saw I could get a round trip ticket for $500 so I said fuck it I'm going. And I did. We switched planes in Detroit and my parents still lived there at the time so they came and got us at the airport during our layover and we went out to dinner ( Read more... )

This is actually still my mental picture of Josh. I'm sure I'll get used to the beard one of these days.

haha he looks older even w/o the beard. When I saw these I was like.... WOW... (older is good not bad, he looks like he's like 17 here)

Wow...hey. Josh is looking way better with the beard.

It's the age not the beard! I assure you I've seen him shaved more recently and the difference is still there. These pictures are 5 years old. He's just grown up. See here's an interim step. He's 22 or 23 here I forget which but looks more similar to how he does now then he did then.

Thumbholes.
I was wearing my brother's watch ON MY RIGHT HAND(I switched where I wear the watch for guitar.
Hannah's Games Shirt.
I look every bit the pro magic player.
I may have needed a shave.
My hat is hilarious.

Oh, and btw, I look a lot more different now than you do.

I almost forgot! It wasn't a PTQ, I got 15th at a GP where 9 of the top 16 were already Q'd, so the top8 invites handed down PAST 15th place. :)

All sorts of shrimp.

You have the distinction of being the first commenter who actually knew both Josh and myself when we were 20.

I am pretty sure you're both 12 there. I could be your grandma!

I just went through my pictures...I think this is me at 20:

I have not yet been 26 or 27 but I definitely prefer later years to 20 although financially I was WAY better off at 20. I look younger because 1) I am w/ Josh and he looks young and you know we are the same age, 2) I am not wearing any makeup and am wearing clothing suitable for spending like 15 hrs on airplanes. When I was 20 people generally thought I was 22-24.

Oh also. One thing I HARDCORE notice is that my eyebrows are not waxed. SO much better now.
