Grooming, absence of

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Starting from the top:

  1. Self-inflicted haircut.
  2. Unflattering glasses, with arms too thick for the rest of the frames.
  3. Sickly pallor, especially around the neck.
  4. Cheap hooded pullover, missing the dangly bits of cord. Covers further pallor as well as a recently acquired paunch.
  5. Pale hands with large knuckles and badly chewed nails.
  6. Ill fitting jeans, specially tailored to accentuate the shortness of my legs.
  7. 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 :)
