Cutest boyfriend...

I was browsing through my hard drive this morning and I stumbled across an old picture I had almost completely forgotten about.  This is me from the summer of 1997.  Lindsay and I were dating at the time and I was doing an internship at a church in Los Angeles while she was 2,000 miles away in southwest Missouri.  She had been invited to Girls State, which is a political camp of sorts for teenage girls.  One evening they had a contest with all the girls in which they would submit pictures of their boyfriends and the judges would award the "cutest boyfriend" award.  And guess who won?  That's right--as if you had to guess--this is me believe it or not.  Take a look at that hair!  It wasn't easy creating that long-flowing wave of hair.  I think it was so long I could put it in my mouth.  At the time I thought that was really cool--now it just sounds gross.

That was good for a hearty laugh! Tell Lindsay I went to Indiana Girls' State and WE never voted for THAT!!! (course I didn't have a boyfriend, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.) What office did she run for? I was county coroner... my motto was "you stab 'em, I slab 'em, you kill 'em, I chill 'em." It was no contest... I won by a landslide! More politicians should take me approach :-)

I soooo remember Lindsay telling me about this! Oh my that was so long ago! Didn't you used to take the first picture on every roll of film this way too? I remember the weirdest things!
