scrunch
one thing i've noticed about old pictures is that i often have a particular smile that is kind of silly. my nose is scrunched a little, my eyes are practically slits and my gums show too much. clearly i look happy, but it's not the best look. since i'm not really an attractive person, i don't really like the fact that i was photographed so often with this funny face. i mean, jeez, help me out a bit.
but -- like i said -- i look happy. and i am a little startled by the dearth of pictures i have now with this particular expression. the last one i can think of was from a party in college. it's funny. at what point did the consciousness of being photographed overtake the sheer joy of the moment?
