Were you a goofy looking kid?

[fusangite]

Depends on how you define kid. I started off pretty well -- I had big round eyes, chubby cheeks, blonde curly hair. My mother would take me shopping in our neighbourhood on Saturday morning and old ladies would constantly ask if they could touch my hair -- it was the most adorable hair they had ever seen. And then between 9 and 14, I guess I looked OK.

But by the time I was 14, I was dressing so strangely there is way to accurately guage how weird I would have looked without the 17' scarf.

I actually think I look better now than I did when I was a kid, but I guess most of you could gess that by my first post.

Nope, I was pretty darn cute...

But then it did go downhill...
8th grade:

Edit: no, I didn't colour my hair, it just turned much darker for some reason...

Yup... and very proud of it at the time

Do you mean creepy because I posted pictures, or was that an evaluation of my 17-year-old self?

Do we get to flip a coin on that one?

I call heads! When someone figures out what that is let me know if I win....

Frankly, I think he swiped a HS pic of Weird Al and is trying to pass it off as him.......

I never was really goofy looking, but as a relatively shy kid, my size was unbearable at times. I had a full beard and was 6' 3" and 180 lbs. by the end of 8th grade so I tended to stand out. It was awkward when I was that age, but I was never really goofy looking. I just looked much older than I actually was.
