The 80`s Were a Hard Time for Aesthetes

Lori just sent me these two photos she dug up out of well-earned obscurity. And now I post them here, to display and preserve them for generations to come, in the hope that they might learn from our mistakes.

Oh God! Amy Siravo! I had fogotten about her!

She treated me like the shit on her shoe. Ptewy!

Ancient grudges still in place? CHECK.

[ennui83]

Aw, I think she pretty much treated us all like shit on her shoe. But remember her mom? Man, was SHE was a bitch...so you've got to forgive Amy her indiscretion/insecurity.

her mom was the bitchiest bitch of all bitches.

also, amy was never mean to me. but i stopped going to school with her in sixth grade, so if my memory serves me correctly she still had some time here in DE to treat people like shit before she left.

oh wait! amy & i were on soccer together, & we all had sailor moon rings (that i distributed), & amy & i were "co-editors" of the stingray news, where we'd interview our fellow players & include crosswords, puzzles, nuggets of soccer-related information & other items of extreme importance. but i was bitchy then, too, so who knows? thank jeebus i didn't move to the midwest.

And finally, I really love how we've all matured so much and let go of our childhood grudges...that's really special.

i also find it amusing that of the three people in these pictures who aren't me, i am friends with only one of them & it was the one i kept in least contact with but turned out the most similiar to. funny how things work.

Hey....I moved to the Midwest by CHOICE, so watch it.

And there you go with the weirdness referencing again. Isn't it better to just let sleeping three-legged freak dogs lie? But this time it's okay, because that was a really nice thing to say.

Thanks buddy!

Oh, I forgot. Do not get my started on Sailor Moon. Amy, Colleen, Caroline, and I all had this huge game of pretend going on where each of us was a Sailor Moon character. I was Sailor Mars, Care was Sailor Jupiter, what was the other blonde one? Oh well, and Amy was the clever one with short hair. You know, it felt dorky then, but it's just plain embarassing now.

Then on the Halloween of 7th grade, the four of us had plans to dress up as our particular Sailor Moon character but I finally broke free and went trick-or-treating Jen and Chris Jackson and Jill Grey in Brandywood instead. Because dressing up as Sailor Moon was the last straw in an entire baleful of straw.

I think they came and found me when I was out with Jen and Chris and Jill and yelled at me for ruining their Halloween and how we were never going to be friends again and this was SO it. And I'd like to think I laughed at them. I probably didn't, but I sure was inside

in our sailor moon game, i was sailor venus (who was the other blond one, the orange-themed), & i gave out these little plastic rings with the girls faces on them. we wore then in games & were mildly obsessed with it for awhile.

girls are nuts.

it didn't bother me though, 'cause i was "that" kind of girl at the time. i can't remember who the last person was, but i know my friend julie palmer had one... she's the one who actually told me about the rings, because i'd totally forgotten half the insanity of this "pretend" we'd cooked up.

My interest is so piqued Caroline. I really want to see those pictures now...you must find a way to get them and post them and we can have a whole reminiscing bonanza. Lord.
