PAST NOTES

analog instant messages


you have found my collection of passed notes from the 90s, welcome.

spanning from the beginning of 1995 to junior year of high school in 1998, a note, reproduced verbatim from the original with the exception of all names, is posted to this blog in the order I'd received it. each post contains one note, and a brief narration of the back story as best I can remember it.

there will also be, from time to time, relevant photos, songs, videos, links, objects, quotes, diaries, poems, and other ephemera (all admittedly completely self-indulgent and wince-inducing).

Cece, in her “trying to be different” dress. The one article of clothing she ever attempted to achieve different-ness in… She got it at raver store as like, a joke. Me and Cadence were all, what the hell - we dress weird, you dress preppy - NOT fair you have that awesome crazy shiny pink dress with glimmering stars and we don’t. She would only ever wear it on days that she wanted attention - sporadically, and just for a few months. Cadence and I would roll our eyes to each other. And the fact that she broke it out as a Halloween costume only pissed us off more - like, oh so being ‘different’ is a dress-up thing? Not an every day thing? Really? Because it is for us. We took ourselves and our passion to dress like complete assholes in creative ways very seriously back then.
