No, not those lighter days, sicko. This is not TMI Thursday and I am not sponsoring Playtex.
It’s Memoir Monday once again thanks to my boy Travis, and if you remember last week, I’m being forced to play along, otherwise he claims he’s going to take my mother out to dinner and never speak to her again. Story of my life.
Anyplayer, according to Travis today is “picture” Memoir Monday. So all it really has to be is a picture. Except I can’t just post a picture without some sort of explanation because, well, I just can’t… so I’ll start off with the pic and follow with an explanation. Why did I even say that? That is self explanatory. Obviously I’m going to do that. OK here you go.

Now, for the reasons I am posting this picture:
I got a new laptop for Christmas and this is really the only somewhat old picture on it. Also, I’m really vain and want to show everyone how skinny I was back in the day. Don’t even tell me you’ve never done it. Everyone likes to post pics of their better days. Not that this was one of my better days because one of my fondest memories was my mother forcing me to eat a 6 inch grinder sandwich followed by an ice cream sundae despite the fact that I had just ate 4 slices of pizza yet she didn’t believe me because she didn’t witness it, so there was a lot of heartburn involved, too. Also, it wasn’t my high metabolism and I didn’t always eat that way, it was the ballet. I did a lot of it. Probably too much. I’d post a pic of me in a tutu but you’re not ready for that. Also, being 90 pounds was not that cool because every time I bumped into something I got a massive bruise that would last for weeks. That mixed with this ridiculous haircut was not a good look for me.

I think I speak for all of us in saying we’re pretty damn ready. Post it!
If I had one, I’d post it too.

Be thankful you never ran into me.
I’d have probably broken you like a porcelain figurine.
And no, that wasn’t a pale joke.
Thanks for sharing today!

Tutus rule. Do it. DO IT. Plus we all know @keepingYouAwake has a tutu picture from last weekend – he’s just too chicken to share it.

post the picture of the tutu…DO IT!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
I agree, I want a pic of the tutu! Also, lol b/c yes dancers are always freaking bruised. And b/c your hair is so much cuter now. (Although this look isn’t BAD. It’s not just necessarily how I picture your personality.)

C’mon now. You can’t talk about tutu pictures and then leave everyone hangin’!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Awwwwwwwwwwe. You were, ah, are, adorable! I like the choppy hairdo. It was probably apropos for the time.

You looked great! Skinny but pretty.
I really want to see the tutu picture though, I guess everyone else agrees with me
February 9th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
90 pounds?
Did you have to move around in the shower to get wet?
February 9th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
nice site guy
February 9th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
You look SO YOUNG!
February 9th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
The hair is ridiculously adorable.
February 10th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
I think you looked fantastic there, if a bit angular and bony. But I rather you now. You’re curvy, voluptuous and snarky. You’re definitely a fantastic package.
February 11th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Your hair was so damn cute in that picture (not that it’s not now). I think I like you better now…for what that’s worth.

@Gingermandy – She’s lying.

Awesome post as usual, thank you for posting all this helpful stuff on a regular basis.

[...] that is all true about my body. Was it always true? No. As you can discover through a photo in this post, I was really thin in high school. Like, broomstick thin. Once I graduated and stopped dancing [...]
