Buffistas

I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's difficult for the photographer, too, though. It's not that ita doesn't take gorgeous photos, it's that I'm completely unable to appreciate anything about a photo of me, and I figure, when the tears roll down my cheeks in complete self-hate, she'll feel bad.

Polgara is somewhat used to this reaction.

Of all the things about this process that make me nervous, the picture is the worst.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Allyson, on that one, I can't reassure you. I used to take gorgeous pictures and then I hit fifty and my daughter started bogarting the family icebreaker jawline, the little bitch, and gravity decided it worked, and now I take shit pictures.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I know this will really have no effect on your self-esteem, but for whatever it's worth, Allyson, I've seen pictures of you, and I always think, "She's so cute!" FWIW.

Oh, no, it's totally not about that at all. I'm so aware that small children don't point and scream and run away when i walk by.

It's a total skewed self-image thing that i don't understand myself.

I'm with ya, Allyson. I've only got one picture I really like of me and it was taken when I was drunk. For once, my mouth wasn't flapping.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My mouth is always open in pix. And not in that sexy, pouty way, either.

I'm always horrified by pix, but I just think that to get the true full-on Erin, you gotta get the living, breathing, snarking full-body-slam, smoooth-assed deal.

Plus. double chin in my pix. ALWAYS.

The status is NOT quo.

I can't stop giggling. One of my nicknames is Pixie/Pix, and I kept thinking Erin was talking about me.

"Hey, I don't have a double chin! Slandering hussy!"

Always Anti-fascist!

Why don't I take more good photos? Usually bright light squint, I'd have to say.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Photos of me, I always look stoned. Or my face is at just the right angle for my nose to look HUGE.

Hee. I tend to stick my chin out and then I look like Jay Leno. Ewww.
