Prom, Vikings, Baby-Sitting, and Llamas

Since I frequently tell stories about my family, it stands to reason that some of the events I write about are preserved in family photo albums. I recently uncovered a collection of photos of me, and thought I’d share them with everyone who has been reading me over the years.

The above picture is me on prom night, when this horrible series of events took place. If memory serves, this is just after I chased my date’s wheel chair down a hill before it could fly off into the marina, but just before sitting down to eat.

 As you can see from the time stamp, this is my eleventh birthday party. I am wearing the same Viking Helmet mentioned here. I never did find out what happened to it… but I have my suspicions and they involve Rachel. Despite the golden locks you’ll be happy to know I imagined myself to be a quite imposing male Viking named Grundle Hammerswing.

Big-brothering in Universal Studios.

Getting so good at taking care of the kids that I can read at the same time.

I’m probably thirteen in this, and I appear to be teaching my little sister that hands are hilarious. I also appear to be succeeding… because dude, what the hell is up with hands?

 Me and a llama… I think this was something that was brought to my pre-school… but I’m unsure.

 Swords! This sword has not been mentioned in any of my sword stories (Like this one, this one, or this one)

I have about seven stories that could go with this picture. One involves projectile vomit and mistaken identities, another involves my suspicions that a building is about to blow up, and another involves corporal punishment. I am not an athlete and I have no idea why my Grandpa sent me here when I explicity said I would do anything to go to Space Camp.

My real name is Andrew for those who are wondering. Need I say more?

This is the “Zorngo” mentioned in this story about wanting to become a super hero. I drew this in I believe kindergarten or first grade. I used to draw Zorngo on the backs of all my assignments.

This is Captain Z-Ray who kills aliens and puts flags on planets. I think this picture explains pretty much everything about who I am as a person today.
