I got an email from my mate Craig title You Ponce.
Craig and I have been able to deduce that the picture must be 3rd quarter 1994 as
- My hair has about two years of growth in it. I started growing it at the end of school in 1992.
- I'm holding flowers. Craig says they were for Leora, which means it must be the second time we dated. This was somewhere around September 1994
- I'm wearing a jacket so it must be late winter or early spring.
- i can make out a "Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fear" and "Belly - Star" cd's which where around that time.
Other things I cringingly draw your attention too are ...
- My hair is curly(ish). Shortly after this is got longer and was dead straight, but at this length it seemed to be curly. I DO NOT HAVE A PERM.
- If you glance at my left ear you will see an earing. Hanging off the earing is a pen knife. A tiny (1cm) but working penknife.
- I was 10 kilos, 22 pounds or over a stone and a half lighter
Thats 10 years ago. I was 19. My last year as a teen. A lifetime ago.

You look like Michael Hutchence in that photo (and, no, I don’t mean dead).
This would be a good meme… post a photo of yourself 10 years ago so we can see who’s changed the most.

Yes you do have a perm.
Where can I get one of those cool pen-knife/earring thingies?
Ten years would appear to be a very SHORT lifetime ago. A lifetime for a dog maybe? Who got sick and perhaps even died when he was ten? Or a cat. But you don’t like cats. I like cats. Only nice ones though. Horrible scratchy cats are…horrible and scratchy. Natch.
I will stop now.
or maybe I won’t.
No really, I will.
For now.

You DO look like Michael Hutchence! But with a massive tan.
I want the tiny pen knife.

Lori, well for it to be a meme, you lot have to do the same, so I now fully expect a 19 year old Lori picture.
5. Lyle
I’d enter the meme, but it would scare too many people.

Yeah laugh it up the two of you. Lets see your pictures from ten years back then …

Youth and inexperience show in the picture - not because of the hair of the earring but because you took flowers on a date. Unless the date is dinner at hers - big no-no. End up having to carry the damn things around all evening and lack of water to put them in means you end up with a bunch of not so fresh looking blooms. I bet you id not make that mistake again.

Well was a bit different in SA, cause we had cars to leave them in.
But I think the flowers were most likely to be forgiven for something or to grovel about something, but I can’t remember what they were for.
11. Ian
Dude… I swear you still look exactly the same!

sniggers at razorhead’s geeky response
Pic up on my site, btw. I think I must have made some sort of drunken pact with the devil while a student as I don’t think I look that much different.

Lori totally stole my thunder. I saw that picture and thought it was Michael Hutchence. I had to look closer.
