Romy & Michele's Flashback

Hey PCD readers!! I'm Kat and I blog over at Shop.School.Sleep. While our hilarious friend Tiffany is off celebrating her big 3-0, I'm filling in for her here on her little ol' blog. Hope I can keep you entertained with stories of Tiffany and me in our younger years.

Tiffany and I (and Leeann of Join the Gossip) met in junior high...we hit it off pretty quickly. I think it was our fashion taste :) See we went to a fundamental school (or public-private school as I like to call it) and had a strict dress code. We had to play around with our "fashion" as much as we could without getting sent home....hence our need to wear plastic skirts and pants....oh wait that was just me...anyways we became friends over our rivalry friendly quest of "Best Dressed" yearbook. We even traveled to Washington DC together our 8th grade year. Our younger sisters (the twins and my sister Hillary) were in the same grade and became friends too!! High school gave us more chances to bond as we played volleyball together and did the usual high school activities. Once we got into college, with Tiff in San Diego and me in Fullerton, we lost touch...kind of... thanks to Myspace and later Facebook. We reunited the summer of our 10th year
reunion from graduating high school and it's been fun continuing our friendship into adulthood :)

So let me explain the title of the post before I show you the pics of us....Freshman year of high school (right? 1997? dang!!) the thing to do Friday nights was go to the movies. Tiffany and I made a date to see the "it fashion" movie of the time, Romy & Michele's High School Reunion!!

That movie was corny, but so COOL at the time!! After the movie we decided....I don't know why...but we were like the main characters...I was Romy and Tiffany was Michele (right?) That Monday at school our
big joke was we invented post-its.... It gets better and NO, I don't have picture proof!! At one of the many sleepovers we had (because that was the 2nd best thing to do...have a giant sleepover and go TP a boy's
house) we tried to copy the dance sequence for "Time after Time" in the movie!! Along with making our own Spice Girl music videos, right Trixie Firecracker?! hahaha!!

Sad thing is we didn't have easy access to cameras as kids do today, so I don't have too many pictures of young Romy and Michele us but I did try to find some goodies for you guys reading!! I also clearly have a long memory of stories, but pictures say it better!! **Disclaimer: all pictures are out of order and I'm lazy didn't know how to do the fancy circles and writing on the pics...it will be a "find Waldo"-like feel to some pictures :) Enjoy!!

Our sophomore field trip to
the LA Zoo

Freshman year before Leeann
and Tiffany moved up to Varsity and left me on JV alone!!

This is sophomore year at the
Zoo...I think or Senior year at Senior retreat in the mountains

There you have it!! Us as little teenagers :) I hope you enjoyed my blast from the past :) I think we all hope Tiff is having a wonderful time, but that she comes home quickly to share her hilarious stories of JmeowW (who isn't as bad in person...at least not when I met her!!) I seriously have to stop reading Tiffany's blog when I'm at work because I literally starting laughing out loud and my students all look at me all weird!!
