Seriously. There are so many things wrong with this photo. Ugh. The hair, the makeup, the braces. The only thing I like about it is that we are like forever away. Why did we choose that set up for a photo? There are so many things between us and the camera and I know there was plenty of room to get a different angle...I have those photos hidden away where no one else can ever find them.Another fun thing about Josh is that his favorite photo of me is this one:
He says this is a "lindser classic." He calls me lindser pinser. I don't like that but I let him say it anyway. However, I don't mind this photo even though it is also hideous. Here's why. My hair is somewhat tamed and my braces are somewhat hidden. The silliness of the photo goes along with the fact that this photo was taken at EFY probably during the wee hours of the morning. I'm not wearing makeup - but I didn't really start wearing real makeup till I was 21 years old. I'm wearing one of my favorite field hockey shirts and one of my favorite necklaces (neither of which I wear anymore - mostly because the shirt is full of holes and the necklace became a safety risk - it was sharp). Also, notice the name tag. That's not my name. I don't know why I was wearing it - although now that I stop to think I think I was fascinated that it was held on by super awesome magnets and not a pin. Oh high school. I don't miss those days one bit. Not one.Thanks Josh, for the awesome walk down memory lane and for reminding me how happy I am to have gained some sort of style and to have made at least a little progress in how I present myself to the world.
Of course, not today, as I am wearing no makeup and my hair hasn't been brushed since before dinner last night.

Hmmm... the composition on the first photo is awful. Not only are you a mile away from the camera, but those flowers are RIGHT in front of you! Tsk to that photographer. I love when embarrassing photos pop up from the past.
And I am curious about the story of when you asked a boy to a boys' choice dance, tee hee!
First of all, I wanted a mormon date and the only two mormon boys at my school were like brothers to me...and had girlfriends i believe.
Second of all, in Maryland there is homecoming and prom. You want to go, you figure it out. haha.
Lastly, I kind of felt obligated to go to prom. That was my junior year but I wasn't going to attend my senior year and I guess it was one of those things that just had to be done. I was excited - but after all the drama that surrounded it, it basically was just another fun night with my friends. We ended up going back to my best friends house and eating some Ben and Jerry's.
Well, a couple bright sides - Your hair looks lovely, and I love that color dress!
I only had one Mormon date all through high school (same problems as you), and it ended up being my first date to Homecoming. I later found out I was only asked by the guy because he wanted to keep an "EYE" on his ex-girlfriend, whom he eventually married. Yeah.
I wasn't going to go either, but my friends made me go to at least my senior prom. The one year I went to prom with a date was the year after I graduated, when my boyfriend was a senior. Blech--I'm with you, Lin. I wouldn't go back for anything.
Also I love seeing those pictures of you! You look exactly like you, and yet so different at the same time. Crazy.
