I resolve to be pale and crazy looking in 2007

Done and done!


Please disregard my rogue right eyebrow (SOMEONE WHO LOVES ME NEEDS TO HIDE MY TWEEZERS, PLEASE!*), and instead notice that my eyes match my shirt! Fancy! Whatever, this picture was taken on New Years, when I was dying of my deadly disease. Be glad I don't have tissues shoved up my nostrils or something.



The reason I am posting this picture is two-fold. One, it gives me the opportunity to discuss my eyebrow problems, which so rarely comes up in every-day conversations. And two, I feel like by posting a picture of me at my absolute worst, with my translucent, makeup-less skin and Enormous Chin of Death (seriously, look at that sucker, it is impressive), people will be pleasently surprised when they see me in real life and I look marginally better. I don't understand people who post like glamour shots of themselves posing to hide their flaws (unless these people don't ever leave their houses or something). My philosophy in life is "the lower the expectations people have of me, the more impressed they will be when I don't suck as much as they expect me to." Feel free to quote me in any college admission essay.





Oh, and also when I try to take a smoldering, sexy photo it ends up like this:



And one can only self-loathe so much before it becomes time consuming.




*I HAVE A HIDDEN PAIR IN MY TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER AND IN A HOT PINK LEATHER CLUTCH HANGING IN MY CLOSET. DEAR GOD, THE SHAME. HELP ME!
