Did I really think I'd get ten comments? No. Am I pleased as punch that I did? Absolutely.Thanks to Ryan, Taylor, Kristin, Jane2, Luckeyfrog, Elaineskeldon, Yvette, Redheadedreader, Meggorie and Ambrosia, I now have to cough up some yearbook pictures.
I've decided to show you two instead of just the one, because the first one's a bit dull. It is, however, the picture that I alluded to when I mentioned the Forehead Hair Tube™.
The second is the photo from my 5th grade yearbook. Ambrosia specifically requested a younger one, but I'm saving the 6th and 7th grades.
Do I even need to point out the blue lines and the star sticker? Just in case I forgot who I was, I guess. Helpful for amnesia and all that.
Let me share some epistles from my 5th grade yearbook, in lieu of a story. "God made rivers
God made lakes
God made Erica
Well, we all make mistake"
--Erica Ellington
"Friends
For
Ever
+
Friends
Forever
And Always"
--Kristina Helton
"Erica,
To my writer! You keep it up next year!"
--Mrs. Canter
(Oh my god. Didn't expect to find that one.)
"Remember the friend in the city
Remember the friend in the town
Remember the friend that came to school
and ruined your book by signing around and around"
--Amber Warman
"Have a nice summer you dork. Ha, ha sucker! (Just a joke.)"
--Krystan Slick
"Some sign on foots
Some sign on backs
But I signed on the crack"
--Jessica Hinson
"Erica, You are already for the 6th grade! I know you will enjoy it! Keep up the great writing, you are so talented. Remember me when you are famous!"
--Mrs. Emery
(Crap. I'd better hurry up and become something.)
