Old School

The image on the left is me circa 1993, looking all teen angsty. My sister shot it outside our parents’ house after we had a huge fight about something that escapes me now. Probably the angst level had reached some sort of intolerable high.

My friend Kate (who was Katie back in 1993) dug a copy of the picture out of her stash of retrostuff, added a line from a letter I sent her back in high school, and emailed it to me. I, in turn, found a photo of her looking pensive. The setting is Oxford, Ohio, summer 1998, during a cross-country road trip with my brother and sister.

With luck, you will soon be able to view another Kate/Janna collaboration on YouTube. At some point in college, Kate directed a short film called Orville’s Friend, in which I play the girlfriend of a guy with a swamp creature living in his bathtub. My boyfriend and the creature are, um, suspiciously close, but I get the upper hand in the end. Stay tuned!
