My Myspace Account Still Works

And let me tell you, the high school extension of myself as told through Myspace is hilarious.

Because I obviously thought I was way too awesome for life.

First, there are pictures where I think I am a model.


This is me as a 16 year old thinking that I'm totally going to make it big as a model (in my imagination). Side note, I still have that t-shirt, and I wear it to the gym all the time.

The funniest thing about finding my Myspace however, was reading the personal information and making fun of myself. Also, realizing how much has actually changed in all of those categories.


So the first thing I'd like to address is the WTH moment I had when I reread that first blurb, what kind of sassy 16 year old thing is that to say about myself? No details, you should already know me! However, it does smack heavily of the rule my parents gave me at the advent of my participation in social media which was that I wasn't allowed to have Facebook friends that I didn't know (really well) in person.

Secondly, who I'd like to meet. Nice people? Well I guess that's still true, but in terms of people I'd like to meet...I've got a new..more specific list. I'm sure those people are nice too.

Details

Status: Single
...not anymore! I think it would be funny to go back and tell my past self that my future self would meet a really cool guy who likes cars and puppies, and plays guitar, and has good taste in movies and literature, and agrees to wear a bike helmet because you want to wear a bike helmet, and that everything would be more than fine (it would be awesome!) but that just doesn't put hair on your chest.

Here for: friends
yep.

Body type: slim/slender
why was this a question??? who cares?? hahaha oh high school. I do NOT miss you.

Zodiac Sign: Cancer
well, July 15th is still my birthday.

Children: Someday
sure!

Smoke/Drink: no/no
again, this is a stupid question to answer as a teen. Of course the answer to both was "no"! But turning 21 in Grand Rapids did introduce me to the world of craft beers, and it's hard not to cultivate your wine expertise in northern Michigan (because if you haven't gone to a wine tasting in Traverse City you really are missing out on something special).

Education: High School
Now, it's a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a year completed toward a masters. A lot changes in 5 years!

Occupation: Being Cool.

Yup. That's my occupation... being cool. I'll be here all week, folks.


so....cool....

excuse me while I go write my mother a thank you note for putting up with my obvious teenage identity disaster of snarky too-cool attitude.

  1. This is the best thing I've read all week. I love it! And I also wish I could go back in time and have a heart to heart with little Lillian to see what she'd say about where you are now. And yes, your occupation is to be cool... wish you could get paid for it though :)

  2. oh finding it and reading the comments on my wall and stuff was SO FUNNY. lol I would like to think little Lillian would be impressed with present Lillian, but in the end her opinion is a little naive. haha
