> [@Grelby](#): > > To compensate: a truly awe-inspiring [profile shot](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e400/grolby/Greggyalbum.jpg) of me from around the same time (maybe a couple weeks later). The most astounding thing about this photo is that it wasn’t posed. However, I still look hideous, just intensely and impressively hideous (note the ol’ zit scab at the corner of my moustache. Mmmm) This one rocks. You look just like a bad guy from a 70s cop show. “There he goes, Starsk!” ---

> [@Roland Orzabal](#): > > [THE HAIR.](http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4725/evilpic2jm.jpg) It wasn’t as big as it looks. I promise. You’re actually pretty cute, but OMG the hair. The hair looks like it’s coming to get me. I think it’ll be in my nightmares tonight. > [@Grelby](#): > > And my hand is on her shoulder, by the way. I read the first half of what you said, clicked on the picture, looked at it, and thought “I bet he’s gonna defend where his hand is.” And I was right. It made me giggle. And \*wow \*to **Scumpup** ’s site. I think I’ll slink back off to my photobucket now. ---

Here’s a recent [photo](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/amethyst111/detail?.dir=/5558&.dnm=54f5re2.jpg) of me. Curse my round face! ---

I think alcohol has been a fairly common theme here, and [here I am on my 30th birthday.](http://home.comcast.net/~y.rendleman/image01.jpg) The image has been cropped to protect the innocent (ex-gf). I’m really not that funny looking, though if you ask me for a flattering pic, I am hard pressed to find one.
