Vanity Post #2
At Unfogged, Ogged considers the disadvantages of bloggers posting pictures of themselves. Of course, most of my readers know me personally, and therefore have no illusions about what I look like. This is convenient, because it allows me to post the following query: It was recently suggested* that I resemble Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now. Having never seen said movie myself**, I have no way to verify this claim other than to ask you guys (in nifty poll format):
For reference***:

*By some dude in a bar, so I'm skeptical.
**It's been on my list of "movies I really ought to see" for a while.
***I promise not to post any more pictures of myself unless absolutely necessary.

Posted by: Zifnab | May 24, 2004 2:38 PMUhhhh....Travis, that picture of you looks nothing like you...
Having said that, I've never actually thought of the similarity, but I guess I can see it, a little...
Posted by: Tracy | May 24, 2004 3:13 PMI find that pictures of me very rarely look like me (or, more accurately, they very rarely look like how I imagine myself to look).
Posted by: Arcane Gazebo | May 24, 2004 3:31 PMNow the question is this: How do you imagine yourself to look?
Posted by: Anonymous | May 24, 2004 4:46 PMGiven your reaction to the picture I posted, I've been wondering how you imagine me to look. :)
Posted by: Arcane Gazebo | May 24, 2004 5:41 PMSo if you're Martin Sheen and I'm Russell Crowe...
Where's our multi-million dollar checks?
Posted by: Joshua Hime | May 25, 2004 12:12 PMIt's all in the thick straight hair.
I like that last comment. Hopefully, when those multi-millions arrive you will take wonderful care of your parents who gave you those good looks.
By the way, have you thought about taking a picture using Martin's facial expression?
Posted by: mama-san | May 26, 2004 9:29 AMDon't hold your breath. The record pretty clearly shows that I am utterly incapable of capitalizing on any good looks that I may or may not possess.
Posted by: Arcane Gazebo | May 26, 2004 1:40 PMYour problem is that you overthink everything. I wonder what you're like when you're intoxicated...Josh? Any insight?
Posted by: Tracy | May 27, 2004 10:07 AMThat is so not my problem. You believe I overthink everything, and therefore assume it's problematic for me, but I defy you to name a single example of this. :)
My actual problems are pretty well understood: shyness and a lack of conversational skills. When I drink, these things are amplified, the result being that I get quieter when intoxicated.
Posted by: Arcane Gazebo | May 27, 2004 11:41 AMYou're never lacking for conversation on the internet, Travis...
:)
Take heart!
Posted by: Tracy | May 27, 2004 2:15 PMI try to take heart, but I have trouble getting through the ribcage. Maybe I should carry a surgical saw.
