Weird

[miss_kae_oz]

This was fascinating for me to do. I really have no idea what I look like. I don't think I really look like this, or quite this young. This is the first time I have used the camera built in to the computer. I had no idea it had a flash (of sorts). I think I shall play with the camera more and investigate this "appearance" thing.

MEME

* take a picture of yourself right now
* don't change your clothes, don't fix your... just take a picture.
* post the picture with NO editing.
* post these instructions with your picture



Also, I admit, this is the second photo I took. Since I can't seem to keep my fingers away from my mouth, the first looked too much like a wanna-be porn ad. I could not make myself post it.

It is so weird looking at me self. Sooo weird.

*edit*
I really can't stop looking at the picture thinking "That's me?", wondering what other people see when they look at the same photo. I can only see me through the personal filter of my mind and what I know and think about myself.
Again - weeeeeird.
Did I mention I had no mirrors in my room growing up?

I have a picture of you. I found it when i was looking through a big pile of photos.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

Is it a good one?

[wasteddream.livejournal.com]

Very. It was on my fridge back when you and i were... doing whatever it was we did.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I want a copy.

[wasteddream.livejournal.com]

well, you can't have one. maybe i can scan it, or something. Or maybe you can actually come over one of these days and i'll show you.

I really do need to make an East Bay outing one of these days. It's just that no ones schedule matches mine, since I work Friday and Saturday night and, quite often, Sunday nights as well.

So come over now. I'm boiling eggs and eating string cheese.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

I have to leave for work relatively soon.
Damn, boiled eggs and string cheese sounds good.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

It's not porn like in a sexy way, but in the cheesy myspace cam-whore "please friend me" way.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

If I am going to do porn, it is going to be billboard worthy. And be on purpose.

what I see:

"pretty girl!"

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

Aw. *blush*

[inoah.livejournal.com]

I've never seen a bad picture of you.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

That is because I send forth my hordes of minions to destroy all evidence of my "ugly moments" and those who posses them.

[pygmalion.livejournal.com]

That is because I am distracted by staring at your beautiful visage. And that little bouncy thing above the words I am supposed to be singing.

I don't know what I expect to see, I just don't recognize myself.
I hate myself in photos.
Every now and then I do this thing where I try to look at photographs of other people as I would if it were of myself. It is funny how many flaws you find in otherwise attractive photos that way. It shows how overly critical, to the point of ridiculous, we get when looking at ourselves. Even in the mirror.
I know the person I see in photos does not look like the person I see in the mirror. I really have
A hard time seeing myself in mirrors objectively. I see how I feel and I usually feel fat and blah.
