Funny, that looks more like a hot witch than an ugly bug to me. 🙂

OK, so I made a separate album on Photobucket of [just me!](http://s203.photobucket.com/albums/aa246/LeahandPhil/Pics%20of%20Leah/)

The first pic is from July 2005, then July 2007, April 2007, and February 13, 2008.

Wow. There are a lot of good looking dopers! Especially the dark haired guys with glasses, hot!

**Auto** , you look as genki (energetic) as I imagined you to be! 😃

Here are 3 that I scrounged up. To be honest I still feel pretty akward (I’m sure it’ll end any year now! :p) so I shy away from the camera a lot.

Last spring in Kyoto, drinking with friends:

Taken by myself for my Steam page. This is the most recent. My hamster cheeks. Let me show you them:

After a long day returning to college (I needed a shower). My dad wanted a picture despite my grunginess…You can see in my eyes the glimmer of “Ha ha…Ok, seriously, let’s get her off me now.”:

And just because there are so damned many great looking broads in this thread, here’s one of me in [Aruba last year](http://picasaweb.google.com/ejsgirl/Aruba2007/photo#5140286001646772786). And it ain’t even the hottest one! 🆒

Cite? 😃

Looking very MILFy there, \*\*EJsGirl \*\*- well done! (sorry if you are offended; I am using MILFy in the silly-but-meant-to-ultimately-be-complimentary sort of way…)

Hmm. Let’s see now.

[At a get-together with some friends from my first study year.](http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/3112/n73077549911970144237vf5.jpg) The beginning was all “So how’s your thesis? Oh, you’re getting married? So you bought a house…”; two hours later we were singing ribald songs at the top of our lungs and sending insultory text messages to everyone who wasn’t there.

[At a friend’s going-away party](http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/7256/n556270856611512585ub6.jpg) last fall.

[Waiting to go onstage](http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/4844/n6344114666441825087nu8.jpg) in our Spex in February. And [at rehearsals](http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/238/225171514994e2358a23mi6.jpg) a few months earlier.

I don’t really like being photographed. I end up looking either stunned, embarrassed or like a complete twit.

I hope you won’t take this the wrong way, but…Hamster cheeks?! WTF are you talking about? You have gorgeous, to-kill-for supermodel cheekbones, lady! The kind other people have surgery for! I’m sure that when you were small, you had adorable pinchable hamster cheeks, but you need to update your SelfImage.exe file, STAT!  
(And I agree that **EJsGirl** is totally a MILF - in the good sense of the term. Maybe the MILFiest MILF I’ve seen. Yowza, lady! You put 20something’s to shame!)

[QUOTE=Siam Sam]  
I’ve been rather wary of putting my picture and personal info online. Perhaps overly so, but I thought it best to err on the side of caution. However, the wife has started experimenting with putting photos online, so I asked her to put together a few of us, and I shall now take the plunge and show you what we look like. (  
[/QUOTE]

Bless your wife for putting those photos up. I have always wanted to travel. Those pics took me on a journey. Thanks.

Thank you for the compliment. 🙂

I admit that I do have somewhat of a self image problem, which is why I dislike getting my photo taken…It’s improved, albeit slowly, and I hope that it gets better in the future.

I wish I could post some of my childhood photos. I was a chubby baby and I looked exactly like a human reincarnate of a hamster. 😃 My aunt says that the downside of them is that they’ll sag as I get older…eh, we’ll see how that goes.

Wellll…since **Cervaise** finally caved.

[Lunchtime](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff114/Timur_photo/Spain-088.jpg) by the Mediterranean in southern Spain, ~2.5 years ago

A rather grim-looking and distressingly close up ( peeling skin and all ) [self portrait](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff114/Timur_photo/IMG_0597.jpg) while on vacation in the Painted Desert, ~6 months ago.

In general I don’t have a lot of pictures of myself, or at least not in digital format. I don’t really care to look at me :p.

This is from my Mom’s cell phone, so the quality is low - but it’s the only picture of me with a full beard. Here I am with my girlfriend, extra-dressed up because I was about to go usher a friend’s wedding.

The only other time I have heard that was a couple of days before that picture was taken from some chick in Denver. That’s the longest I’ve ever had my hair, and it must have combined with my toothy smile to form the resemblance.
