Maybe I’m just too paranoid

‘You’re prettier than I remembered.’

Translation: ‘Your facebook photos suck. You aren’t photogenic at all, are you?’

Yes, that’s right, I’m not photogenic. Please stop telling me that. Please stop insinuating that. And please try not to make me any more paranoid than I already am.

I do, however find it amusing on occasion. Like last week, I was on campus with Sarah and some guy handed us bags of free stuff from some company – mints, a big lollipop, a whistle and some other random crap that’s so cool because omgit’sfree. Then he came back and insisted on taking a photo of us (Sarah is really pretty) reading the crappy leaflet thing. To use in their next magazine. It’s going to be a great pic of Sarah and a god awful one of me, which they probably won’t end up using because the difference between me in real life and me in photos is just way off. The poor guy might even be bitched at for taking such a bad pic/bad choice of subject. Oh well. C’est la vie.

    I know how you feel, its a crappy feeling, but at least you got a bag of free stuff lol.
    Damn photogenic people.

    Ha ha I’m sure you don’t look that bad. :-) I’m not very photogenic either, but…oh well.
    Take care :-D

    Indeed. I would label that paranoia. But I have the same thing. I don’t think I’m ugly, but I take hideous pictures. Why is that? :neutral: lol But you did get free stuff, at least, I guess? :lol:

    Hehe, you look AWESOME in all of your pictures! Well, that’s what I think… I’m not very photogenic either… =/

    Woah, that’s nice that you got free stuff, and a picture in a magazine?! I’ve never been in a magazine before!

    Jenni, don’t worry. You probably look great in that picture. And at least you got some free stuff! :wink:
    I usually look crap in pictures too – and just like you, I, as well, think there’s a HUGE difference between me in pictures and me in real life. Gotta learn to live with it I guess?
    Just don’t worry about it too much!

    Ah don’t worry, a lot of us are on the same boat. My pictures are…well…Mum think’s they’re good but parents have to say that don’t they? Heh. I’m not photogenic either but it’s not like I want them taken in the first place. You shouldn’t worry though, you ARE pretty.

    Hey, I dunno if you remember me but I am Kristie and I used to be a member of Girland like you once did. I was called Tonik but you might also remember me as Krizzle and a frequent user of your very old website kutekitten! Dunno if you do remember me but I am 17 now and at college hopefully going to university to study Law / Politics :] You’ve done well for yourself I must say and I should definately visit the site some more. Take care xxx

    Hey dunno if you remember me but I used to be a huge fan of KuteKitten when you started that and I was Tonik/Krizzle on Girland :]. I am 17 now not far off being 18 and at college at present hoping to go to university to study Law / Politics. Hope you’re okay and I wanted to say you have been an inspiration for me, I went into the web design thing and quit because I couldn’t compete with you but I am thinking of starting back up just for a pastime perhaps. Reading your blogs etc.. over the years has also inspired me to be more myself and when I was having trouble at school and never turned up expectant to fail my G.C.S.E’s I turned my life around thinking of people like you! I came out with 13 G.C.S.E’s in total 2 of which are A’s and I am now getting A’s in Law and Politics at college as well as B’s in my other subjects. Thanks hunny, and take care :] xx

    I’m sure it won’t be that bad. I mean, you must look at least a bit good in photo’s right?
    Anyway, I don’t look very pretty too in photographs. I always try to smile too much, which doesn’t suit me xD
