self photo

This was a pretty miserable day, and my hair was frizzy as hell, my shirt too tight. So i was very self conscious, in the most literal way. I could not stop thinking about how i looked and subsequently posing for every last one of my friends photos. I always hide my mouth when i am self conscious, i don't know why. Probably the braces. 'Anyway' a phrase i use and abuse like something inappropriate, I was posing for this picture , trying to look 'accidentally pretty' (which, by the way, is sort of like carefully applying 'natural makeup'). Nonetheless, pressing on, and look at me applying new catch phrases. My friend, well call her 'Lindsay' because that's her name, Lindsay is taking a long time to shoot the shot. The thing about accidental pretty is you can not sit there and hold it, or else all accidental pretense is lost for ever an ever. After a couple of seconds i realised how moronic i looked, and gave my friend an 'I'm-trying-to-look-pretty-without-trying-to-look-pretty-and-your-making-it-really-difficult look and cracked up. this photo was taken in the transition between 'fake pretty' and self mockery. Coincidentally, i believe that is a very real expression for a teenage girl.
