Why??? WHY!!!!

I am not sure why, but some of my "friends" decided to scan and post some pics of us from junior high--aka the time in my life that I have deleted from my memory.  I have to laugh, or else I will cry.  To be perfectly honest, I thought that my glasses were cool!!   (At least that's what my mom said!!)  And the mullet?  What is that?  If nothing else, I think that I have finally figured out why I didn't have boyfriends in junior high!  (or high school for that matter!  It took me a while to kick in!!!)

So, if you don't mind, could you compare the picture below to the picture above?  I'd like to think that I have improved, but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me!!!
