@noise: I really love that group picture of yours. I gotta know, though, what room is that? Someone's bedroom? A play room? Everything seems so low to the ground!
@ninja: My favorite thing in that picture is not the knickers, but your loafers and the portrait studio picture of you (or a sibling?) on the shelf. Was that little wicker chair the gaming chair?
@TSTR: Aw, thanks for saying so:
The most amazing thing about the above, which I discovered only a few months ago, is that there is actually video footage of 1990 side. I'd always assumed my dad had taken that picture -- he was usually the one with the camera -- but in fact my
mom had taken the photo, because my dad was busy taking a few minutes' break from the rest of my older brother's birthday party goings-on to film this amusing display of four-year-old badassery with a VHS camcorder.
I'll put it up on YouTube someday, but for now, the dialog goes something like this:
Dad: And here's Emily... mowin' 'em down.
Key: [concentrating]
Dad: [can't stop giggling]
Key: [Game Over screen, but can't read]
Dad: I think that's it, honey.
Key: I wanna do some more!
Dad: Of that?
Key: Yeah!!
Dad: Okay honey. [Puts in some quarters]
Key: [back to business]
Dad: [laughing] That's too funny.
