Tell the Truth .. This Was You at Extended Holiday Family Gatherings!

It was certainly me which is why I MADE this caption. Wish fulfillment at its best!

Well, if you didn't see this post back on May 5,2017 .. then it's new to you! Only Joanna Cale commented on it, so you can certainly chime in now! Here is what I said then:

Not much to say here. I wasn't going to post anything, but was zooming around online and saw this picture. I cleaned it up for future use, but then a thought bounced around my head and I found myself making a caption right then and there.

I can remember feeling like this many times during extended holiday family gatherings. At Easter, there would be at least a few girls running around in fancy dresses with mary janes and white tights all the way up through my teen years, while I'd look disheveled in a suit jacket and clip on bow-tie. By the end of the day, they'd usually have grass stains on their outfits and ripped nylons, and I would be like, "Hmmm, they'd be much more comfortable in what I am wearing I think, and boys are always allowed to be messy! If only the Easter bunny had swapped our genders instead of bringing stupid eggs for us to find!" I was always into hose and tights, even as a kid.

So this is technically the "Damien is probably at someone's extended family graduation party" version of that fantasy. You don't know the other person that well, but you've met them enough times. And hey, if there is magic to make it happen, there is certainly magic that will have you acting enough like the new you until you can get your own bearings and make this new life your own.

Wow! I wrote longer than I thought I would! What do you think of the new font I've been using? Feel free to write about the caption as well since it's a blog exclusive. Was it something you felt too as a young person, or did it come out more when you started adulting for real?

Not much has changed, though most of the children are now in their teen years or older. Leave comments below and I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have or try to whip up a discussion to keep my sanity as strong as possible!

I remember this video from WAY back in the day. Thought it'd be good for a laugh now. Here's what I said in the comment section of the original post:

Showcard Gothic is more slanty towards the middle of the letter on both sides so I would only use it in a title. I liked this one because it kerns pretty well yet has some decent curve to it, plus it doesn't eat up as much space as some other bubbly fonts. I think in the future I am going to get more definite about which fonts go where, like as you mentioned, this font seems to work better projected ONTO a picture, as opposed to in a text column like this one.

In my everyday life as an office manager/worker, I tend to use Tahoma an awful lot!
