Bad Day

[unico_love]

It seems a lot of people are not having a good day today (or yesterday, since for some of us it is now just a couple hours into a new day). I hope tomorrow/today goes better. I hope I get a few things done. I didn't go to bed until 8:30am yesterday, so my sleeping schedule is still way off (partly due to family stress and partly due to the fact that my circadian rhythms are always off and most sleeping pills don't work on me). I made a few icons at abi-station. My computer was reformatted and I lost the original icon I made. I like the one I made to replace it, but I think my face is more round than the face in the first picture shown. I plan on getting a digital camera so I can take pictures that I can draw and paint. I also want to take a bunch of pictures of myself to A. Get over my fear of having my picture taken B. To have some semi-decent, semi-recent pictures of myself and C. To give me the opportunity to pick
pictures that I like and that are somewhat good and disgard the rest (I often only have one or two pictures of me per year and I'm not particularly photogenic, so often my pictures don't come out really looking like me for one reason or another -- often lighting problems, me making goofy faces, etc.) I'm going to get a cheap one, though, because I'm cursed when it comes to technology and the pictures will only really be for my own amusement.

[thinks to self]: see, your not the only person not to have a digital camera yet. Or to not be photogenic 100% of the time.

Hehe, there are many people like us in the world:)

I'm not photogenic in the least. I usually look ugly in pictures, with a strange expression, vacant eyes, zits, a huge double chin, etc. Not to mention I have a huge nose and my face is always pink. (Okay, maybe I just obsess too much about my face!)

The perk to having a digital camera is the preview screen. Then you can make sure you look okay! When I take pictures of myself I am forever deleting the ones with the fat face and double chin >.< But in some I surprise myself by looking decent.

I wonder how much those avatars really look like you. I can't wait to see what you look like! ;)

Now I'm curious. I can understand your reluctance, but when you say "strange expression" and "vacant eyes," I'm intrigued.

My icon is me. I'm sexy, yes?

[latenightparty.livejournal.com]

I'm always making the wrong expression when being photographed (especially by other people) and I often look vacant in pics. I stare into space. Then again, maybe I'm exaggerating because we all can't stand our bad photos. I'd put a pic right here but it would take up space. (I have made sure to put only non-vacant and not-too-ugly pics in my photobucket album ;) )

Hmm... that icon is small and you're looking down so I can't really see your eyes. :> You're the one with the dramatic eyes, right?

bah... I'm somewhere on http://wi.rr.com/lylythdotorg/images

I think there's something called "Kaiden"

[latenightparty.livejournal.com]

Awww... it says that site doesn't exist.

[staircase-wit.livejournal.com]

oops, my bad.

Heh, that's a neat picture. You do look evil (as the picture is marked), but it's quite funny because the background just looks like an ordinary office.

My face tends to be pink, too; especially around my nose. And I have purple shadows under my eyes (though they aren't always noticeable, depending on the lighting). My parents both had/have double chins to a certain extent. I have a tendency towards one, as well, but years ago I started doing exercises to try and make my chin and neck more to my liking. I don't know if it worked or not(probably not much). I obsess a lot about my face, but I couldn't care less how other people look. Most people don't notice your flaws the way you do (I mean that in general). For instance, I didn't think your nose looked big when I saw your picture (I also didn't think your skin tone looked too pink, but as I said, I get facial redness, too).

My parents both have spare tires around their necks. So I think double chins are in the blood.

And I think you're absolutely right about people blowing their flaws out of proportion. What is huge/hideous/abominable to you (again, in general) may be barely noticeable to someone else. I have spent many years obsessing over a nose I saw as horrendously huge, acne, "bulgy" eyes, a Michelin Man chin, etc. In recent years I've realized that others probably don't notice because I'm blowing them out of proportion and they're probably too worried about their own flaws to notice!

I like the one with the swing especially.

[Wonders what you look like]

I'll put the one semi-recent picture of me online now^_^ I don't like it (one of my eyes is more open than the other) and my hair is longer. But my puppy is in it and my puppy is cute.

I have a very old digital camera my boyfriend bought me for my birthday, but the battery is dead...I have a bit too much fun with self-shots but am not very photogenic either. -_- Someone once told me when I first met her (she works with my mom) that "Photos don't do me justice" and that I'm a lot prettier in person. I was like "Heh, thanks?..."

My day yesterday was blah...not good, not bad, just uneventful. I hope your day goes better today. :)

I think I'm getting better with photographs. People used to outright laugh at my photographs, but they don't do that now (fortunately). It was rather embarrassing.

::hug:: I like those little icons. They are really cute! ^_^
