To save Colin the work: 1985, 1990. Some people have bad hair days--I had bad hair years. 1990 wasn't bad, but 1985 more than makes up for that.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Baby ita and baby Colin (Oy, what a crush I would have had) are - not to upset Pete by using his assigned adjective or anything - adorable. Ah, the 80s. And 90s. Kind of glad none of my pics (that I know of) are digitized. Stone-washed demin dress with shoulder pads and an asymmetrical collar anyone? Yeah.
Hmm. I thought tonight was Dr. Who, but I'm seeing that super heroes show. Bummer. (ETA: Duh. It's not Friday.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah. I never plan to get famous, but if I get so unlucky, at least I can count on the fact that I avoided the class of '87 high school yearbook shoot...

I have no shame. I figure I already walked around in public like that, so this is nothing. I mean, at least now I know the look wasn't forever. Then? Wind coulda changed and stuck me like that.

I would have to turn down fame due to a 1984 yearbook pic. It's still very traumatic for me to see. And yet, that is the picture my father still displays proudly on his desk. Ugh. A father's love is blind.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I would have to turn down fame because of my, I think, 3rd and 4th grade class group pictures where I crossed my eyes. On purpose.
Oof.
I keep imagining the other parents saying "Oh look. The Jensen boy had his eyes fixed," after that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I graduated high school in 1980. Which meant my senior pictures were taken during the summer of 1979. Off-white suit, dark brown shirt and tie, wire rim glasses, hair parted in the middle.
My Aunt Joyce said I looked like John Denver. And except that my hair is darker, she wasn't too far off.
On the other hand, there are worse celebrities to resemble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think my 8th-grade photo would make fame reject me.

The 1985 picture I linked to upthread was just how I looked that year. But in prep school I deliberately went out of my way to look horrible for school pics. Wore my glasses (which I had ditched within the first week of having them prescribed), unplaited my hair..
There must have been a reason for it at the time--I just can't think of what it might have been.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There's something about this episode of Who that's very Classic Who. And I don't think it's just the period (which is in the ballpark of the period they kept coming back to).
I really like the kid, though I fear for his well-being.
Gallifrey! He said "Gallifrey"! I'm a giant dork.
