I'm so Vain

Since I got my digital camera, I’ve spent most of my time taking pictures of myself. I very rarely like my own pictures, and so I spend all of my time searching for the elusive great picture of me. The one that will convince me that I’m absolutely gorgeous, and that all the other pictures of me to this point have been grossly inaccurate and misrepresentative.

I have not yet taken this amazing picture. Probably not going to. But tonight I had fun because it was hair trial time. Tonight I got my hair done, in a lovely updo, as a practice for the wedding on Saturday. It turned out well, and I liked it so much I left it in for awhile. On a Wednesday night. While I walked around the neighborhood in my exercise clothes. From the neck down, I looked like a slob. From the neck up, I looked like I was going to prom. I just figured it was like a ponytail, only more elaborate. OK, not really. Really, I kind of wanted to show off.

So, I just took it all out, trying not to break all my hair in the process.

About Me

  • I'm thirty & living in Amish Country, PA. I'm a marketing writer for a non-profit.
  • I'm Mennonite, but not in a head-covered, dress-wearing kind of way. More in a hippy-liberal, peace-loving kind of way.
  • I like books, discussing, thinking, my church, friends, and my family.
  • I'm good at gift-giving, shopping, and writing.
  • I'm bad at meeting new people, cleaning my car, and keeping my house warm.
  • I'm annoyed by people who wear shorts in the winter, create excessive drama, don't recycle, or talk about how fat they are.
