And whilst cleaning house...

GIP!

What is it about looking at pictures of yourself? Why do they always get uglier the longer you look...much like text loses all meaning if you stare at it long enough? Why are we just composed of chaos and imperfection?

I think I sound like an existentially challenged angsterrific lunatic who has just discovered Keirkegaard at the age of fifteen. Woe!

Hee. Thanks! I was (mainly) referring to the phenomenon of looking at pictures that look good and then as you stare at them longer, the pretty goes away and all you can see are the messed-up bits - sorta like looking at the night sky, and seeing more and more stars...but in reverse. Kinda. Never mind. It made sense in my head. But thank you for the compliment. :-)

No, no, I feel the same thing... I'll look too long at a picture and it just seems jumbled.
