boom boom boom

Submitted by Jordan L.

This is me and my best friend Zach! He's really tall, plays the guitar, sings, and runs. I like to photograph, travel, and  embrace my insanity!  We both like to: see who can make the best  fart noises between the two of us, see how awkward we can make people feel at parties we go to, and take popular songs and change them so they're about food. 

one of my faves is (sung to the tune of Firework by Katy Perry): Baby your a potato! Come on let your skin burn! Make em go PO-TA-TO! you're gonna leave em going O-BESE-O. BOOM BOOM BOOM. Even bigger than the MOON MOON MOON!" 

Secret Identities

Submitted by Francesca

This is my boyfriend and I. We obsess over video games and belt out Glee songs while driving around together. We also enjoy buying cookie cakes off the sale rack and reminiscing about things such as Blink 182 and the Muppets. Don't tell anyone, but our secret superhero identities are the Flash and Wonder Woman.

CATCH MY DRIFT

Submitted by Megan P.

That picture right up there is of me and Matt, my "just friend" that I used to kiss before he left on an LDS mission, and will kiss when he gets back in 4 months again. IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.

Matt and I met in high school, but he didn't like me cause he thought I was shallow and I didn't like him cause I thought he was arrogant. It was love at first sight. Not really. Actually, he graduated and was in college and we happened to strike up a conversation on Facebook in which I quoted an obscure Star Wars reference and he was like "YOU KNOW STAR WARS?" and I was like "IT'S MY FAVORITE" and he was like "PROVE IT" and so we had a Star Wars trivia competition which I eventually lost after two hours to the question "How many guards accompanied Palpatine when he rescued Anakin on Mustafar?" The answer was three. I said two.

Matt and I both love Pokemon, Frank Sinatra, Lord of the Rings, and theater.  He's my best friend and I'm his and I really really miss him.

Dressed Up as a Pirate

Submitted by Selina P.

Attached is a photo of my brother, Darrin. He spent about four years of his life dressed up as a pirate for some fool reason. He occasionally has a jewfro and occasionally has so much gel in his hair you could shoot him and the bullet would bounce off (don't try this please). He's been an assistant manager at a Sbarro's for a few months now, and it's his birthday in two weeks. He has a penchant for singing Cher and the Les Miserables soundtrack really loudly, and when I was three I ruined his Ghostbusters coloring book. He still hasn't forgiven me.

Perfection

Submitted by Mary P.

I'm fifteen. I love summer and sunny days—just being anywhere warm and sunny puts me in a good mood! I love good ol' country music, long car rides, travelling, and cherry-flavored Jolly Ranchers. I also love LA and its skyline. I've been singing since I was 3 and I dont think I'll ever stop! I absolutely adore Michael Jackson, to me he was perfection. I believe he was the greatest human being that's ever walked this earth.

We've Only Just Begun

Submitted by Pablo A.

I had the chance to have my picture caricatured by you here. Well, it happens that I got married since, and I would like to surprise my lovely one with another picture where we are together.What I can say about us is that we love to sing. We sing at home, we sing at karaoké parties and we even sang for the wedding ("We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters, of course!)

Did you hear the one...

Submitted by Lucy W.

My 18th birthday was recently. I live in England, I like fashion, music (saw Katy Perry in concert recently,) baking, flowers and high heel shoes. I LOVE cats and dancing and singing. I wish I could hip hop dance. I also love sleeping and cups of tea. I lived in Switzerland and miss it, I speak French. I am single for the first time in a long time and am getting to know myself! I'm always smiling, and love my friends and family! I would love to be a comedian, TV presenter or singer, but kinda realise its unrealistic. I have been told I have an infectious laugh and I eat so much junk I should probably be obese by now, but I'm not!

My Last Meal

Submitted by Emma A.

This picture of me was taken while I was visiting my boyfriend in Devon last week. He took me out for dinner to say sorry for moving away and making me move out of our flat by myself. He's a good boyfriend/Ginger Giant and he obviously has learnt that the way to my heart is food and copious amounts of cider.

I think about food all the time. In the shower, when feeding my fat goldfish Clementine, during very boring meetings and even when I should be thinking about something else like kissing my boyfriend back. Right now I am thinking about the possibility of adding fennel to my sausage and lentil casserole. I will ponder this for at least an hour.

The first question that I ask someone new is 'What would you choose as your last meal before you DIE?' (I like to make the end dramatic so they take it seriously). My last meal is currently 7 courses long and would include; prawns, crisps and sour cream dip, roast chicken, pumpkin and meringues.

My favourite colour is navy blue, I love The Carpenters and will dress up as a pirate without much encouragement.
