A Candy Apple Romance: Genetics Appreciation Post

So I was looking through my mom's iphone for pictures of all my guide puppies, and on that journey I found several pictures of myself over the course of my high school career.

I won't lie, some were embarrassing as hell. But mostly, I was struck by the fact that I look... pretty.

So this a post in appreciation of the fact that I have nice genetics and the fact that iphones take marvelous pictures. Who knew. I may have to get one...

I apologize in advance for the blatant, half-joking vanity you are about to encounter if you choose to actually look at these pictures, but I so rarely have moments of image confidence that when I do it tends to turn into overconfidence. Cocky b*tch attitude commencing...

my first day of high school was also my first proper goth outfit

On the Berkeley campus for the first time, I climbed a tree and my mom took a photo. Because she rocks.

weird emo/notreally pic! Look at my eye. Look at it. The bluest blue to ever blue

Thespian initiation! (you can't see it here but I have on a Slytherin tie because I'm cool and pretty)

The weirdest haircut I've ever had still couldn't ruin my face (entirely)

Right after getting my drivers' permit

Random family reunion photos!

Look at that. That's like a freaking photo shoot.

I dragged my brother into many Seattle photos. He's going to be pretty too one day. He's already getting there, it's weird o.O and yeah he's six one, so when I don't wear heels I look tiny next to my baby brother.
