Every picture tells a story..

Do you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? Makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other people’s lives have we been in? Were we a part of someone’s life when their dreams came true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in as is if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think. You could be a big part of someone else’s life and not know it.


One of my favorite things to do is look through all my old pictures, especially ones from high school. I guess you could say I miss it.. I guess you guessed right. But it's more than a picture, more than high school.. they are memories. That's why we take pictures right? So I'll keep this short and sweet, but here's some of my favorite pictures and memories I have to go with them..

Okay, so this picture is probably my favorite, ever. Katie and I were drunk, Josh was sober - and I'm pretty sure we took thirty pictures just trying to get ONE good one, so as a failed attempt, it ended up being the best picture from the trip. I think it shows our true personalities.

This picture is exactly what it looks like. I'd never eaten crab before, therefore, I didn't know how to open those god damn legs. I'm pretty sure I tried for fifteen minutes, and with an unsuccessful attempt, gave that shit up. Fucking crabs.

One of the best memories I have with my sisters. Greek Week last spring.. we threw in the towel because of cheaters. I distinctly remember Ali Moran saying "Can I see a finger or two?" as she was taking the picture.

One of the absolute BEST memories I have from the beach with Jessi. We had just come back from parasailing and they brought us back on this stupid scary banana boat. So we get closer to shore when this HUGE wave knocks us off and under the boat and when I finally get back up on my feet I step on something GIGANTIC and slimy. My step dad actually captured the moment, needless to say I didn't stick around long enough to see what it was.

A random night in Pittsburgh with Neal and Eric turned out to be one of my favorite memories of there. We stumbled upon this amazing christmas tree and ice skating rink. We were going to make this picture a tradition, but we didn't make it up there this year, wah.

So two things are going on in this picture: one, it's my step sisters bachelorette party and two, she's getting a lap dance from a random guy who we paid twenty dollars to give it to her. I will probably never forget this night, or the fact that the next day we found out he was arrested later that night.

So this was the Boys Like Girls, and my first moshpit. Shit was intense.

All of us senior girls at the East/West game. This was the night where I can honestly say I've felt most alive. It was incredible.

Senior prom. Probably one of the best nights of my life, also the saddest. Brittany's my best friend, even though she now lives over 900 miles away. She's also the one person that puts up with all of my mood swings and crying fits.

Junior Prom, and probably one of my favorite pictures of me and my dad. I wish he was around more.

Pledging fall 09' was one of the best things I've ever done. I loved every second, especially this early morning painting the bell for the first time with my pledge sisters.
