A Cry for Help

He reminds me of Bob Saget.

Who's the chick in the screamo picture?


And you look Manson-esque in that last one (not so much in expression, but in latent energy). O' the stryfe...

[Gilly]

A friend from school. Imagine Allie, only ILE.

Peoples' mouths are interesting when contorted.

I kind of look like my face is being sucked into a black hole inside my throat.

[redbaron]

in the unposed photo you really look IEI to me!

Is that your Dad in the first pic? He's a nice looking guy!

[Gilly]

The one with both of us in helmets? Yeah, that's him. He's an EII.

[silverchris9]

lol. The unposed photo is the only one that looks IEI. But it looks *exactly* like an IEI-Fe kid that I know.

I really do find that unposed picture to be the most genuinely me. I typically control everything about my self-presentation, from my clothes and posture down to my tone of voice, facial expression, and basically each word that comes out of my mouth, so to see me in that sort of vulnerable state is both refreshing in terms of seeing myself for who I am, as well as knowing that I am not quite fully externally machinated yet...

In every other picture, my eyes are either supercharged with acted emotion, or collected into my "picture perfect" self-presentation: friendly but cool exterior, accessible but appropriately aloof presence, blah blah blah wank wank wank. Even in the picture of me as a little kid, I'm putting on a show.

I feel like "I" show through in that last picture, and I cherish it for that.
