I straightened my hair and learned how to operate the self-timer on my camera in the same day. [Sadly, this was the best of the bunch.](http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv180/lady_apollonia/SelfPort.jpg) The rest of the self-timed shots looked like I had startled myself badly. I do have some way to go as far as playing with the self-timer. I think I’ll just stick to having other people take my picture if I really need one taken. ---

Ok, here’s my current [Facebook profile picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/28751075@N06/3251558852/). And here’s a couple of pics of me in my [Mad](http://www.flickr.com/photos/28751075@N06/3236736591/) [Max](http://www.flickr.com/photos/28751075@N06/3237575532/) get-up that I wore to a gay leather circuit party. And here’s an actual black ink [self-portrait](http://www.flickr.com/photos/28751075@N06/3020118580/) of myself, that admittedly doesn’t look much like me at all, I guess it’s more how I felt about myself back then, rather than what I really looked like. ---

Here’s an unfinished [thing](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3066/3251019515_7a5eca2db6.jpg?v=0)I drew probably two or three years ago. My hair’s not actually that white.
