Old old picture of me

[rikibeth]

This is mostly for David Harmon from Making Light, because he remembers my name from my MIT days, and can't put a face to it. It might also appear on What The Hell? at Shakesville, although I sent them two, and the one with the kidlet age three in it is funnier because of her expression. This would be late 1988 or early 1989.




Also, have some dragons. I've named the purple one Unpronounceable Glyph.

Now wait; I met you in 1991 and you did not look anywhere near as... "adolescent" as you did in that photo.

Did you really mature that much in 2-3 years? Are you sure?

Didn't we meet in 1990, when I was working at FTP?

I am absolutely certain that the picture is either December 1988 or January 1989, because I can tell from the poster that it's in shadowflyer's dorm room at Brandeis.

I would say that leaving college (after flunking out the second time) and joining the working world changed my mental habits sufficiently to have shown on my face. So would have acquiring my first car -- a serious jump in independence from having to borrow my parents'.
