You may have discerned from the title of this post that my school photo series is nearly complete, praise the Lord!
Mercy, mercy, mercy. My junior year of high school. Perhaps one of my strangest, and also one of my worst years, in life, as well as on film.
At that time in my life, I had become mysteriously photogenic. You would never know that, however, based on this photograph!
Let us look past my gnarly teenage complexion and get straight to the good stuff, shall we?
My smile in this picture is utterly ridiculous. I had never, and have never smiled like this before, or since. You see, my new {then}boyfriend {you may remember his obscured likeness from my Prom photos} had accompanied me to the gym to have my photo taken. As I was only sixteen at the time, and I was being stared at by my first "real" boyfriend {just know that I fully admit to have been a nerd, and I can hear you as you cackle and cry "dork!"}, I was a tad nervous!
Also, what is that thing hugging my face?!?!?
Oh yes, that was my version of a "cool" hairstyle. It was 1999 at the time, but really, I don't think that was fashionable! Could hair that appears to be the limp, drab, bastard baby of Marsha Brady and Rachel Green's hairdos have ever been in style??
I just don't know.
You may stay to point and laugh at me as long as you like, but you'll also want to click over to Alicia's place for more flashback horror...er, I mean, fun!

Jess...I think you look so pretty, and you STILL look that young! But, I can totally understand being nervous with the new boyfriend looking at ya!
That's a BAD picture? Really! Looks great to me! I'm still trying to remember what I looked like in 11th grade. I'm more than twice as old now....ahem.
You are your own worst critic... seriously!
You're tempting me to do a year book tribute of my own... except I might have to skip a couple years :)
i think its not so bad! :D happy friday!
You were totally cute!! Much better than my junior photo.
Honestly, I wish ANY of my school pictures looked as "bad" as that.
And you were a junior in 1999? Dear Lord, I am soooooo old.
Oh It's not a bad picture , actually from the series of photos you have posted here, I can say you are growing prettier each year.. You have the most darling smile here..
Hahaha you are so funny. But looking at your photo make me want to smile myself. You look very pretty. I think you are so happy in that photo because your bf was with you lol..
Thank you so much for casting your vote which led to Rylie's Victorious Smile.
Oh I forgot to give you my link lol but don't be bored with my Flashback
Very nice set of teeth and great smile too!
Check out how the Smokes gets in your lungs
Oh Marcia, Marcia, Marcia - I think your hairstyle is totally far out. I just hate it when people are watching me get my picture taken because I know I don't look real. I think that pic is pretty good though!!! You look happy! Have a good weekend ~ ♥
First...you look beautiful in that picture.
Second...holy cow, I just realized that you were born the year I graduated from High School! :)
Are you kidding me? If you had shown me that photo without any of your self-critique, I would have said that it was a lovely photo. You are so pretty!
I'm not kidding around. It's good!
You look very pretty in that photo! Great smile!
I think you look so beautiful! We are our own worst critics:)Happy weekend!
No way! This is a million times better than my nasty photo from that school year...lol :) Love it. Your blog is so pretty! I may have to grab one of your link buttons and place it on mine to pretty it up. :)
I agree with the rest, you look great, that's a real natural smile and there is nothing wrong with your hair.
Great photos, thanks for sharing.
Cute shot! I think you looked great!
You look so pretty!
By the way, thanks for the visit. ^_^
You look alright to me. In fact I love the smile. In 1999 I had the 'baddest' hairstyle in the world. Yours is nice. Why didn't I think of that then? Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful picture!! We're always our worst critic.
It was a great FF !!
You look great when you're young.
A blessed weekend!
Awwwww, it's not as bad as you make it out to be!
I need to resurrect flash back photos on my blog. I miss the 'Fro!
What a lovely young lady! :)
Ah, boys - they're always sure to put a silly grin on a girl's face. However, I think the photo is lovely and the smile is sweet! :)
Oh I think that picture is lovely..seriously you have such a pretty smile...beautiful in fact. Funny how we see ourselves and how others see us.
I think you look lovely there, no matter what you say. Definitely photogenic!
Well I happen to think it's a cute picture!
I think is a beautiful picture!!!
You are a beautiful girl!!
