Holycrap. We had the Tomlinson reunion today and now we're sitting around looking at old family pictures. Check this scheisse out:



That's my old, beloved cat Abigail at about age 16 there. I was about 22. My hair, however, had been growing since the mid-'60s and must have been pushing 30. Good NIGHT, that shit was long. That's at least three or four lifetimes ago.



And here's my fourth-grade star turn as a member of FDR's cabinet in Annie. My role was to get pissed off when Annie started singing "Tomorrow," then get won over and join in. No recordings exist, thank dog.

I'm not sure which one I like best. The hair or the expression on your face in the play.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that play photo is kinda famous in our family. :D Here's another one I found--this one is after I cracked and started singing:

HIPPIE!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

You reappear after all this time to call me a hippie?!?! Nooooo ma'am, i warn't no hippie, I was a . . . hmmm . . . wait . . . . Well, I actually have no idea what I was. I was just a damn freak, I guess. :D

Was glad to see you pop up the other day. I had been looking through my friends list just a day or two prior and wondered about you. =)

[(Anonymous)]

I was a freak, too and happy about it. I am glad to see you are well. Are you still in the south or did you relocate?

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Well, I did move south, and I am relocating again. I'm in the middle of preparing for an exploratory visit to Brooklyn to see what kinda work I can find up there. :)

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

I went back and read a bunch of your entries. I knew you had moved south--I remember the day you drove down. I've caught up with you a little, now. May I just say that I have been lmao at some of your entries I'd missed. For instance, the one about the flour turning into a stone during the school play. The milkshake voice entry made me pee my pants, especially at the end when you say "yo mama" and she says, "YO mama" and then cracks up. Also, what kind of twilight zone town is that you stumbled upon? And that grocery list. This stuff only happens to you, you know.

I spoke with deadmenwalking yesterday and we have decided you need to write a book. Or gather journal entries and publish them in book form. No, seriously. You have a unique outlook and a killer sense of humor/irony. You probably already realize that.

Gah. The 4th-Grade Annie production.

I was a bum in a chorus of bums singing We'd Like To Thank You, Herbert Hoover. I routinely burst into laughter at the point at which we were supposed to point toward the audience in dramatic fashion. I wore wool gloves and when I would point, the glove would slide forward, extending the length of my index finger which, bereft of bone, would bend in a random generally downward direction. Don't ask me why I thought that was funny, 'cause I have no idea.

Is that Kevin Eaves? Who's in the chair?

My most vivid memory of that production aside from the flopping finger was the moment at which a few of us in the wings happened to catch a glimpse of a full moon in the changing area. That, and the black-pepper flavor of the stinkin' lipstick they made us wear.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yep, Kevin Eaves. And that's Clint Pendley as FDR. Thank goodness Adam Brown as Daddy Warbucks isn't in these--I always thought that was a wretched casting decision.

I remember you as a Hooverite! Who else was a bum? I used to have the cast picture, but I have no idea where it is now. =(

Makeup, blech. The only thing worse was when I played a donkey in The Carnival of the Animals and they made me wear a leotard.

I hadn't thought about the full moon in years. Was that from the star of the show?

[hah-sone.livejournal.com]

Yep. One of three gloriously witnessed in the years before I knew why I liked 'em. ;)

[first-lobster.livejournal.com]

I appreciate your clearly awesome performance in Annie- who was that fool on the other side of FDR clearly not method acting? Was he sleeping with the director? How the hell did he get such a high profile part?!?


Seriously, I love that picture so much it's now my desktop at work.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo, I'm famous! :D

Yeah, I do think FDR's other henchman was sleeping with our teacher. There's no other explanation for that goofy-ass grin on his mug.

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

When I saw that first photo, I thought, "Who the hell is that?" Then it sunk in. Hee.

Maybe it's just me, but you look like a young Rainn Wilson in the second pic. (Yes, that's a compliment.)

[cierrablue.livejournal.com]

There's something 'Sweet Home Alabama' about that hair. Lynard Skynard called. They want their 'southern rock' look back.
