Pictures

Why is photo booth so fun. I hope this picture is coming to you in great spirits. I sure had fun taking a series of pictures, when I was alone. I tend to get bored and do stupid stuff when I get left alone. So lesson to the wise, don't leave me alone. At least don;t leave me alone without nothing to do. Now pictures, capturing a moment in time and freezing it to forever live in the world on paper or in a camera. Pictures can tell a million stories. For example. This picture at first glance would to me imply that I'm dumb and decided to take extremely unattractive pictures of myself with my computer. In actuality, I just got done taking my final and really just wanted to do something with a computer that didn't involve hitting submit quiz. I like how it distorts my face and makes my teeth into beaver wood chompers. My original purpose for this photo was to put on my sisters facebook wall to make her happy. Good thing she isn't on the book anymore because I feel that I would have regretted sharing this picture with such and audience. So of course, instead, I am sharing it with this audience base!

This picture could have more than a million stories to it. My sister, cousin and I could have been preparing for a tribal war dance around the fire. We could have just been being us and painting our faces with ridiculous patterns just for giggles. Sara looks like a deranged Rudolph with a Captain Hook mustache. Alison looks like and Angry War Bird, which is funny since the game did not exist at this point in time. We may have on to something with that... I look like the paint threw up on me and then tried to save itself with the cross on my head. In reality, we were about to perform a caper. We have a tire and it needed to be exposed of. We went to drop the tire off and it fell out of the car, rolled down the hill and landed perfectly where a tire would be. It couldn't have gone any better. And the Sara supermaned herself into the car and yelled drive. It was pure gold. Us being badasses. Usually doesn't turn out well. And us, the deranged criminals that we were are now respectable members of the community. Alison is now married with a baby and a job, Sara has a career, and I, being the best, am a damn good nanny and student.

Now of course, these pictures are polar opposites and I actually have no idea where I was going with this blog, but then again do I ever. So I leave you with this, a picture, you can decide the story. Caption contest! Winner gets a shout out in the next blog! I know, you are all just clamoring to be mentioned next....
