I had a big ol’ lump of nostalgia yesterday when I found a very, very old class photo online of my first year in high school (Dutch high school that is, which starts around age 12).

Oh! My! God! I look sooooooo young! I must have been 12 years old at the time this photo was taken (as I was born in May 1974 and went to this high school in 1986, left because we moved away in my third year there in 1988), and it struck me that I remembered the names of almost everyone in the picture (full photo here), including the girl I had my first real crush on…

…okay, I spent a little time looking her up and found a picture of her today, and she’s still very pretty. Nothing to do about it now, but at least I had great taste back then
