Wordless Wednesday – Hardcore (not really “wordless”)

Yep, that’s me. In 2003. I was 21, even though I look 14.

If you can’t tell I have my eyebrow and lip pierced. And yep, I was so into Avril Lavigne and had a ton of eyeliner on just like her.

1. Let’s blame crappy 1 megapixel digital cameras for this picture.

2. Yes, this was in my room

3. Yes, I have pink in my hair :)

4. That’s my brother.

5. I was 19 here.

  10. Jennifer The Quirky Momma:

    I got my one and only tattoo at 21, and at 41, I cringe. Why did I get a stupid flower? UGH! I had a piercing that is so not me now that I also cringe at the thought of that, too.

    You looked cute although I’m sure ‘cute’ wasn’t what you were going for!

  11. Cindy Orley:

    You are such a pretty lady, even under that dark eyeliner as a younger you!

  17. Toni:

    Omgosh I thought that was Avril Lavene too LOL.

  18. Double Duty Mommy:

    haha. I use to hear it all.the.time. it was nuts. I even wore ties believe it or not, lol.

  19. Double Duty Mommy:

    haha. I know, right? I can’t even attempt to do my makeup like that anymore. I try and I mess it up or think I look crazy

  20. Double Duty Mommy:

    I still have my tongue pierced. I don’t know when I’ll take it out but whenever I try it feels too weird so I put it back in.

  21. Double Duty Mommy:

    haha. that’s so funny. yeah I’ve heard it so many times. Not so much anymore though

  22. Double Duty Mommy:

    Thank you Cindy :)

  23. Double Duty Mommy:

    oh gosh. I hope I don’t feel that way about my tattoos – I have 5.

    Actually, cute what was I was going for. That’s why I through in the pink shirt, lol

  24. Double Duty Mommy:

    what?!?!? ok THAT is something I would have never guessed!! 4 is the most I had at 1 time but I had my lip pierced twice (I let it close up then got it pierced in the same spot) and my eyebrow twice (again, let it close up then I wanted it again) so 6 times I’ve been stuck with a needle.

    oh and my ears. are you counting those? I have 3 in each ear.

  25. Double Duty Mommy:

    I can believe this 100% lol. I never did like the ear gauge thing but the monroe is cute. and I actually still have my tongue pierced- 12 years and counting.

  26. HilLesha:

    You definitely looked like her!

  27. Jennifer The Quirky Momma:

    My tattoo isn’t ugly, just a big purple flower on my boob. Everytime I nursed my son, my tat was there for all so see! LOL! I guess it’s kind of funny!

    You are and continue to be cute! ;)

  28. Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins:

    Wow, you look just like her!

  29. Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies:

    That is so funny! I used to have my nose pierced, but one day I saw this really trashy older woman with a nose ring and it made me decide to take mine out. ;) Now that you have all this photographic evidence from your hardcore days, you’ll never be able to say anything if your kids want to dye their hair or get piercings!

  30. Emily @FamilyNLifeLV:

    Yes, I was counting ears. I had 6 in my ears, 4 in one, 2 in the other, belly, eyebrow, and tongue. :)

  31. Courtney:

    I was a true Avril fan too lol

  32. Stefanie:

    I totally see Avril in you!

  33. Notorious Spinks:

    You look totally different. Love the pink.
