2001: 2 single gal's oddessy
it'sself portrait tuesday : personal history
the time: jan/feb 2001
the place: arcata, california
the people: jessica (left) margaret (me, right)
age: 20
when i look at this picture i think about how close i came to never knowing this girl. i left humboldt after my first year because i was unhappy. i chose to live with my older sister in this awesome house my first year of college because it was more cost effective. I used that house as a safety net, and i never stepped out of that net to try and make friends. i became lonely and miserable. i was convinced that being in humboldt was making me that way, so i left. after a summer at home, i reconsidered, and somehow everything just fell into place.
jessica and i met at humboldt state university in the year 2000. we both moved into this crazy house around the same time as another girl named stephanie. we formed this little family and despite the condition of our little house, and out lack of funds, and the fights we would get into, it remains one of the best times in my life. an important time in my life. stephanie left us after one year, so jessica and i were left to continue our small town misadventures.
self taken at a house party. one of many we attended that year. this was the crazy year. the year we fell off couches and practically broke our kneecaps on table corners. it was the year we drank on tuesday nights and drove out to the beach at night when it was way to cold to be there. it was the year we karaoke'd and sang freebird at the top of our lungs. i had a lot of fun that year.
