"My Camera Hates Me"

I was seriously going to put in a new "avi". I wanted to be myself. I like knowing who I'm talking to, instead of getting false impressions in my mind of how people look. Anyhow, I tried my best, but it didn't turn out the way I had hoped. I really think it was the camera's fault.....it was against me from the start.

I grabbed my digital camera in hopes of getting a nice close-up shot that I would be able to use. I'd snap 2 or 3 shots at a time, and then go to look at them. What I saw shocked me.

What? That's me? I don't look like that. My nose is huge. What the heck! Who is that person? (delete, delete) I tried again. "EEEk!" Are those my jowls hanging down like that? I noticed them before, but not to that extent. (delete, delete, delete) My eyes are half closed. That's not my mouth, is it? I'm not tired. Why do I look tired? My mouth makes me look crabby. I'm happy, I think. If I don't smile, I look crabby. I can't smile all the time. (delete, delete) And my hair looks flat and thin. I have thick, bushy hair. I can see it in the mirror. This makes me look like I'm balding. I'm not! (delete, delete.) I really can't get over my nose, though. I never knew I had a big nose. Was it always like that? Geeez! Maybe my head is shrinking. That must be it.

No picture today....maybe not ever. This whole picture thing was a bad idea. Thank goodness it's only my face I'm dissecting. I can't imagine how I'd cope with my body parts. I hate that camera!
