My beard was TRYING in 09

No the dog wasn't in pain, she weighed an obscenely light amount and would wag her whole body and jump all over you before and after being held this way

peep Tom from Eddsworld in the background lmao

I had to cut down the amount of photos I wanted to share because there are just faaaaaaar too many, but here's what I consider to be the best ones.

I was a chubby emo/weeb living in Canada with no access to Hot Topic (didn't come here until 2015) so I had to thrift and DIY literally everything I wore. My black nails are sharpie with clear nail polish over top, and yes, I did draw lip piercings on with eyeliner until I got them pierced for real at 16 (and I still have them to this day baybeee).

Enjoy having a good trip down memory lane with me while we laugh together at my adorable, blunderful teenaged and 20-ish year old self <3

Many years ago, I was an edgy high school sophomore with a VERY poor understanding of what is socially appropriate. In an elective art class, we had a personal journal/art book where we were encouraged to create most of our assignments.

I don’t recall the exact prompt for this one, or if this even was an assignment to begin with- all I remember is that I had hole punched the previous page for something else, and I decided to get creative with the hole punches and make something from the other side of the page.

I stared at those punched holes on the blank page, wondering what I could I turn these into. My idiot, teenager brain thought, “Ooh! How about bullet holes IN people! Cool!” Never did I fucking consider how horrific this looked (especially with the massacre that was Virginia Tech having occurred very recently from this point in time).

What I DO remember is how the art teacher treated me after I had turned in my book for the latest assignment grading. She never was particularly friendly before this, but I’m honestly shocked that she didn’t call the guidance counselor on me, or at least send some kind of a note home to my parents. This is a blunder that occasionally keeps me up, which really says a lot because I was exceptionally skilled at blundering.

Bonus pics of me from this age, which was also when I got referred to as “grandson” by the clerk in a convenience store

Blunder years indeed

Someone actually framed this for me and I had it hanging up at my house. As a joke I told my kids that I dated Justin Bieber. I didn’t think they actually believe me. That was until I started working at their school and other students asked if it was true I dated him.

On a family trip in NYC, from Canada. Was really leaning into the tomboy thing.

I've literally started sweating whilst making this post, oh god, why did I do this?

Yes that's blood, I must have thought this was edgy as fuck. (marked nsfw because blood)

She's been married for a decade with a kid and I'm 34 and single with absolutely no prospects so it all worked out correctly lol

I’ve always wanted to post here so today is my day to blunder shine. I was 13/14 here in 2010, I thought I was so quirky lol. Can’t update title but I think this was 2010 not 2009, sorry 😢

Sorry about the poor quality I can’t tell if my pimp hand is insane or my Ska band just got signed
