SeniorPictures

Okay, I'm well aware of the fact that showing you all a bunch of pictures of me that are eerily similar but not quite the same makes me look really vain, but I'm sure you're also sick of seeing only baby pictures. (What can I say? Cameras stopped liking me when I turned 7.) Anyway, a funny thing actually happened the day my senior pictures were taken. I woke up at 8:30, which was a problem, because school starts at 7:30, and I basically had no way of getting there. Eventually, I called my pastor who ended up taking me, but I only got to school 20 minutes or so before my pictures were taken. I fixed my hair in the Newspaper room really quickly and had my pictures taken right after. It was kind of rushed, but I think they turned out well enough.

A lot of people didn't appreciate the woman who took their pictures because she would not let them not smile. While I must admit, she was a nutcase, I disliked her for a different reason: she rolled her eyes at me! ME! I can't think of anyone more deserving of other people's respect. At any rate, I wore a tank top to school so that I wouldn't have to roam the hallways in those tube top dealies the Lifetouch people had girls wear for the drape shots. The photographer told me to pull the straps down so she could put the drape on, so I pulled them to the edge of my shoulders. She rolled her eyes and giggled, then pulled the straps down to the sides of my arms. I did not appreciate it. My purpose in life is not to be here for senile old women to laugh at. (My rant is complete now.)

This one is the notorious "come hither" picture, as Scott put it. Of course, Amy called it the "I'm going to seduce you" picture and Spanky said it looks like I'm going to kill people, so I guess it's all relative to who's looking at it.
