100 Bits of Happiness 70/100

[mabith]

It may seem silly/vain/narcissistic, but you know what makes me happy? Looking at photos of me as a child. I was pretty awesome, for one thing, and generally super adorable except for some unfortunate haircuts in 2nd and 3rd grade.

This is me, aged 8 and 1/2.

Aw, how adorable!

I've never been much fond of dogs, except for Biscuit. Almost everyone I knew had dogs that were very jumpy and excitable or yapped all the time, and I hated that as a child (and can't physically deal with it now). A nice calm dog I'm happy to be around, but it seems like they are few and far between.

Aw I love kid photos from the past. It's so much fun to look back on those things.

They really are fun (well, depending on your childhood). I'm supposed to be scanning all the family photos, but it's a really tedious job and I take long breaks between short periods of action. What's most tedious is actually getting them all in chronological order. I regret not changing my hair more as a child (and the fact that it grew so quickly).

Cute! I can't abide looking at photos of myself from my childhood; I was awfully nerdy.

Hope that you get to feeling better, soon; I'm under the weather, myself, and know how awful it is not to be able to sleep. :(

Aw, that's too bad! I cringe at the clothes I wore (being the youngest of five, and the youngest of all the cousins I pretty much only had hand-me-downs), but mostly just think how adorable and silly I was.

Thanks! I'm at the awful can't-breathe-at-all-through-the-nose, feel-like-you're-choking-every-other minute stage. But I'm back on the nasal spray, so hopefully it will go away soon.

Aww, I love childhood photos! I'm the same way as you and love photos of myself as a child. You look super cute with your snorkle and puppy <33!

Thanks!!

I think if I did another 100 posts project it was just be "100 adorable/hilarious childhood photos of me." Though, generally, I try to keep a tighter lid on my narcissism. :)

Snorkel child! I love it!

I certainly wore a lot of neon as a child. I have no real regrets about the matter, but jeez some of the pictures are a little embarrassing.

Also do not mind me, sort of catching up with el jay :o

I think it reflects well on my mother that she never got annoyed with me wearing it.

The clothing is a worry. This is one of the few pictures of me at that age that isn't so bad, I think, which was probably accidental. I had more concern with clothing in kindergarten (probably because I hadn't been allowed to pick out my own for long) and first grade, but then it fell by the wayside unless it seemed even vaguely Shirley Templeish.

I like when people are catching up with entries, since it's like having a longer conversation with them.
