Grooming, absence of
Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006Starting from the top:
-
Self-inflicted haircut.
-
Unflattering glasses, with arms too thick for the rest of the frames.
-
Sickly pallor, especially around the neck.
-
Cheap hooded pullover, missing the dangly bits of cord. Covers further pallor as well as a recently acquired paunch.
-
Pale hands with large knuckles and badly chewed nails.
-
Ill fitting jeans, specially tailored to accentuate the shortness of my legs.
-
Extremely cheap Converse knock-offs, which would be great if they lasted more than four weeks.
I’d like to think that I might look back on this entry in a year or two and laugh at my embarrassing lack of style, but in truth I expect I’ll probably be dressed much the same. I’ve always been terrible at shopping for clothes, and have a life-long aversion to hairdressers.
Of course the good thing about not having a very high standard is that it requires virtually no effort to maintain :)

Indoor flash shot on 2 second timer, so that I wouldnt have time to arrange myself nicely.
So, do I have partner aspirations? Yes. Do I have expectations? Not particularly :)
