Friends, Music and Video... we're helping you stay connected.

The Wonder Years

Let's all reminisce to the glory days of being rejected, teased, and kissed for the first time as a kid.

This is my first group, so cut me some slack. So basically all my blogs got me thinking, "Have I always been this way?" I started thinking back about my first kiss, girlfriend, and even loss of virginity. I time warped to those Wonder Years. So let's all share our stories. It doesn't matter if they go back to kindergarten to even yesterday. Just make sure they involve love, past or present crushes, dreams, first kisses, first "times", or even that wicked first time you ever smoked pot in the "Boys" room! Kevin Arnold, eat my shorts.

alixi [vive la resistance] says:

Right, here's an actual memory.

The first time I ever smoked pot was outside my church when I was about 15.
Yes. Outside my church. [=

We we finally went inside, we kept larfing so hard, the pastor almost chucked us out..
To this day, when I talk to Linsey back home she still reminds me how heathenistic we were..
ahahaha.

Well I love this group so much cos it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :P It's so cool to read about other people's wonder years. It made me go back and look at a scrap book that Aoife made me a long time ago. I uploaded it to flickr so anybody that is interested can have a look. can't see why you would be mind you but it was just nice for me to go through it all again today :)

Awww - those are so sweet too!
It's great looking through old photos - that's what I was doing today in the hope of finding some to put in here - I didn't find any though, and since mine are all photos rather than digital (and my scanner needs replacing) I took some photos of the photos but just posted them on my profile instead. Poor quality but a reminder of how I used to look! And some dodgy hairstyles too.

I added you as a contact on flickr as you didn't have any at all! - :( Now you can be bored to tears by the many hundreds I put on there!)

Dave says:

Lol. Thanks. I would add more but my camera is bust and I haven't got any good pics really. I need to get a camera and start snappin'!

TEEN*IDOL says:

Looks like my group is becoming a hit. And yes, that warm fuzzy feeling....THATS WHAT THIS GROUP IS SUPPOSE TO DO! Im genius I tell ya.
Youre GF is pretty by the way, and the mullet thingy is fucking rad.

Dave says:

Yes the mullet. I really tried hard to bring that back. Oh wells :P

moo says:

Don't think I'm not trying - I'm still trying to find some old photos for you, but since I'm older than the invention of the digital camera, most of my stuff will need to be photographed (the scanner doesn't work) and transferred so it's not as easy as it might seem.

I will get something for you though, fear not.

First and best kisses though? I must have been 8 and had a friend's brother who had a crush on me (I believe he was a year younger) - he followed me to the park and didn't tell his parents where he was, and the police were called because they thought he was missing. I don't remember an awful lot about it, just what I was told after the event, but very sweet to have an admirer at that age and I do think there was some kissing involved (though very innocent stuff I imagine, at that age.)

I also was in love with a boy when I was 11 - he was 13 and we played a game of dare or something involving being under a blanket in a darkened room - now I do remember that kiss to this day and had a long-distance yearning for him (unrequited - he went out with a friend of mine) for about 10 years and I occasionally think of him to this day, even though we haven't seen each other since I was 14.

alixi [vive la resistance] says:

Ahaha, this is almost "anti-Wonder Years," but I"ve never been to a dance before.
No prom, no formal attire shizz, nothing.

Wait..
I went to one in 5th year..and stayed for about five minutes.
A homecoming, football thing.
I couldn't stop larfing, aha.

It just seems kind of idiotic to me..


or maybe I'm just cold.
ahaa. [:

I'm not anti-social or anything, I just find dances and mediocre music a waste of my life. :D

..maybe I should have rephrased my comment differently, so I don't seem to be a wallflower..ahaha.

Ill start!! Okay, so I found this pic of me and my very first girlfriend in 9th grade. Freshman year.the year 2001 I believe., my Ramones mop-top was at full gear, and I bagged this babe. You better believe she was the hottest piece of ass in that school! And I made her that way! Notice the short black hair, eyeliner, you cant tell but shes also wearing a Ramones t-shirt I got her. I was such a badass, I was even in a band (before they kicked me out of MY own band!). Yup, so this girl whos name is Vanessa I still talk to. Shes my best (and only) friend who calls me over the phone. Its actually sad looking at this pic. Shes currently 7 months pregnant by a 17 year old loser (shes 19). How depressing. Oh well, I still love her (just not int that way, as a person I mean). I made her into a woman!!!....and she made me into a man if you catch my drift. ;)
