Jillian and the Pictures of Yesteryear!

It’s your lucky day today! Why you ask? Because it’s picture day! I was going through an old photo album and found some pictures I think I won’t regret sharing.

I think.

The following pictures deserve an introduction.

First off, I have no idea how old I am in these photos. I do know these were taken before my mom and I left for my birthday party at Straw Hat Pizza. Has anyone heard of this place? Out here at least, they are out of business. I remember the pizza being awesome, but then I also thought what I wore in the following pictures was awesome. Whatever, I never claimed to be reliable.

Jillian and Some Condensed Matter

One time, on one of many dates with a now ex-boyfriend, I lost my wallet. I didn’t know it was gone until someone from a video store called my cell phone to let me know. We had to drive all the way back to the Valley – trust me, it was FAR – to retrieve it. Apparently some guy found it in the parking space we were in and turned it in to the nearest business. The guy left his number in case I wanted to call him. I did. He had a really nice voice and I was getting all excited (I know I already had a boyfriend, but the plan to dump him was already in place) until he said, “My girlfriend and I….”

Jillian and the Post of Antiquity

This update is kinda long, but go ahead and read it anyway! :-)

*****

A post like this needs an introduction.

The following is an entry taken from a joint blog venture with the H. We were trying out a few ideas in the hope of finding a system that worked for us.

This is a review of the movie “Blades of Glory” using AOL Instant Messenger.

Like I said… we were trying a few things.

This is pretty much how we are in ‘real life’. You can decide if that’s good or bad!

Enjoy.

Jillian and the Delusions of Grandeur

I just got interviewed! I know right? That’s pretty fucking awesome.

Except, no one actually interviewed me, and it wasn’t recorded, and I was pretty much just talking to myself. But that’s OK, it still counts… right?

When I was a kid, I did commercials. I did everything: shampoo, Nestle Quick, Cereal, etc. I was quite popular and everyone loved me. I was a star in the making!

Of course, I did the commercials in the privacy of my bedroom and my Mom was my biggest “fan”. That kinda counts… sort of.

Chicken and Dumplings

When I was a kid, I wanted to play:

Photobucket

I was talked out of it.

A friend of my mom called me up and asked me if I had ever broken a leg, dislocated a shoulder, or sprained a finger. Of course the answer to all those questions was “No”. I fancied myself a tomboy; able to play rough with the boys and not get hurt. But… I was effectively scared into “safer” activities.
