Happy with how you look or not?
on: December 16, 2012, 08:16:45 PM
Are you happy with your looks?  If not what who would you like to resemble?  Photo documentaion needed!  I will post mine when I can upload something to photobucket -

When a search is in progress, something will be found.

I'm very proud of my face, and very ashamed of my belly. Started running about one month ago, and yet I don't see any improvements. Perhaps I should change my diet?

I look fantastic.  The amount of time I spend staring in the mirror negatively affects the amount of time I spend playing piano.

Since I shave and brush my teeth with my glasses off, how I look is now entirely other people's problem.   ;D

Nope.  I can only do so much about it though.

Haha, I'm embarrassingly thin. I think it's a metabolism thing.

Now if only I was a girl. Problem solved. ;D

I compensate for my average looks by being good at things... I'm good at making pasta for example.

People say I'm generally quite photogenetic. Personally, I feel my ears may be a bit too big proportionally. There is an advantage to this though: when I ride my bike, I go faster than the others if the wind is at my back. Posting photos of myself and/or my family on the Internet is against my personal security and privacy policies. So sorry...
