i belong to a NYOBC and the topic this month is "self-centered". This is one of my lo.
Journaling: I've always hated taking pictures, ever since i was a little girl. I never come across natural looking, i always seem to have this tight-lipped expression that conveys the pain I'm truly feeling at having my picture taken. My eyes are always squinchy, and i have this slouch that i'm not aware of when the picture's taken, but which i notice right away when the picture's developed. Dan is forever telling me to relax and "just smile, dammit!" Most of my layouts do not feature me, because i cannot seem to take a picture worth including. This layout is a tribute to the uptight, non-smiling, camera-shy person that lives inside me, with the hope that seeing myself so many times will provide the incentive to let go and smile, dammit.
