Me at 15

Here is me at fifteen. Wasn't I cute?

Aw, man, what were you thinking that day?

No, I mean, really. A cute thinker! :-)

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

No, this is me being relaxed and playful. When I'm really thinking, I look sort of intense.

you look rather angry here eolake.
very nice picture though. ah, those black and white memories of yesteryear......

Fascinating how people change. Is it possible to predict what people are going to look like in x years? Absolutely intriguing.

I was going to say, it looks like you're planning something, or you're looking at the world all amused. Great photo.

A fifteen-year-old, having his photo taken in a public environment on a bus, are you sure you were in favour of the photographer's intention to take your pic??? Or was it taken by your girlfriend ;-) LOL.
Teenagers are known for being a bit more stubborn, but you look just cute.
Black and white photos serve well for bringing back memories of the past, they leave more room for our phantasy, do you agree?

Monsieur Beep! said...

Oh sorry, I've just realized that the photo was taken by Annette. Might she be reading your postings/seeing the picture?

Hey, you changed your hairstyle! Otherwise you look exactly the same. What's your secret?

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

An optimistic outlook on life, and following my heart.

Nice Beatle cut ;)

Speaking of which, how popular were they in Denmark at the time?

You used to live in my shoe, didn't you? You and your dog, Tigue.

(Geezers here may get my drift.)

At the time, the fab four had been broken up for many years.

Yes, Schindler's List's artistic choice worked very well.

"Hey, you changed your hairstyle!"
Yeah, now he's wearing some of his hair on his chin! Très original.

Last month I actually tried, for the first time in 25 years, growing my hair long. But it doesn't look quite as cute when it's half grey (I like that though).

To answer my own earlier question (as if anyone cared):

Okay, it's not a perfect resemblance.

Grey hair is Nature's way of telling us we have no choice but to eventually grow up a bit (or we'll look silly). Having it DOES inspire a little mature attitude, doesn't it?
(Um... NOT in Lebanese politicians, clearly!)

David,
"Anyone" cared, but websearching for "shoe+dog+Tigue" wasn't very efficient... buster! ;-)
[Especially considering I expected something about the Woman in the Shoe.]

You're right, the resemblance is not perfect. Eolake has dark hair!
(And why isn't the boy named "Buster Blonde"???)

Phew! These typos can be devastating! In the nick of time, I spotted and corrected the initial "Busted Blonde"!
Would've caused SOME awkward misunderstanding! ;-)

I am so proud of you
