Pijus -- Not that there's anything really really wrong with them, they're just not RIGHT, if you know what I mean... (Actually, the first one looks WAY too shellshocked: What? The flash just went off? Huh?)

Kitty, DAPest of Them All -- Self perception and other people's perception of you are never quite the same. It's one of my wishes that I can, I dunno, have some kind of out of body experience, forget who I am and look at myself from the outside. See what I look like, how I move, gesture, speak, behave, react... I hope I like the me I find.

The closest thing(s) I've tried/can imagined: photography (though I believe that it's always artifice, it has a point of view if not an objective one... not that I ever think there can be an objective pov), never tried it but maybe video (maybe you'll have to run it day in day out until you're totally used to it)... and this might be hard to explain, but holding a hand mirror while you stand in front of another (larger) mirror, and look at the reflection in the larger mirror by looking at the hand mirror. (Make sense??) If nothing else, you can see different angles of yourself you don't usually see (back of your head, your profile without having to keep quinting to the side)... :P

Alternatively, you could just do what artists have always done to hasten the muse's arrival - get high. ;)

By the way, I note that all of the three images rejected by you show the "SAVE" word. I believe that this is strong evidence of subliminal denial; I just can't make up my mind whether you're denying the fact that Giny's hooked up with Harry now, or that you yourself need to be saved.

Pijus -- Are you offering me hash brownies? I think I'll stick with trying the Pomerol. :P As for the t-shirt, wait, if I edited out the ones with the word "Save" doesn't that mean I *don't* need to be saved? *brain overheats*

The alcohol in Pomerol is a sedative; I think you want a stimulant ...

I think I'm sticking to my coke/coffee for stimulants for now, Pijus...

(Speaking of which, I can really use a mocha right about now. :P)

Really? I guess I'm being outvoted. ^_^;; まあ、いいや。I like the one I picked! And sometimes, I really think I'm 考え過ぎ. :P
