I thought there was only 1 guy at the event, so who's this little mustachio-ed dude with the Axl Rose outfit?" And then I realized "Holy Sh*t! That's a chick!" A chick with THE MOST AWESOME COSTUME EVER!!! I'm so glad you were crowned our Prom King because that outfit was totally dope -- and now that I've read your tale of confronting some tough memories to return to your alma mater, I'm ever MORE convinced that you are a TOTAL ROCK STAR!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965801664060930902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695872572402143773.post-29745461972120772132014-06-14T17:00:21.884-04:002014-06-14T17:00:21.884-04:00The fact that you shared this experience feels lik...The fact that you shared this experience feels like a gift.

It is well deserved. This post was painful to read, but I am happy to know more about a time that was really foggy for me. I find we are more alike with each post I read. We both have fear of crowds, fear of people, we lust after delicious foods, and we are AWESOME! So glad I have a smart, sassy, sometimes dramatic, hilarious, and hot piece of ass for a sister. By the way, every time I see your 80's photo, I hear "Is this Love" by Scorpions. LOL! Love you mean it.
