Los Corazones


Today I was on Facebook (Oh, the wasted time!) and realized that I have probably a trillion pictures I've put up, and a majority of them are of me, and a majority of those pictures of me are taken by me, as you can clearly see by one extended arm in every one. And suddenly I felt very vain, a little ashamed, a little humbled. Let me try to explain this silly behavior. I'm not super photogenic, so when a picture of myself satisfies me, I get really excited and, naturally, put it right up on the internet. But with how many of those I've put up, that just continues to show us how much more time is wasted taking all these pictures, assuming most never make it to facebook or the blog, and are deleted. Or some are taken for ransom, and not deleted, which makes me upset. You know who you are.

While looking through these albums of Narcissism, I realized that I pretty much have one and only one pose: I like to make a quaint little heart with my hands. I also realized that this pose is struck occasionally in front of something that one wouldn't naturally be showing love to. Let me show you some examples.

"It's ok if you rip my head off, Mr. Lion. Because I just love you so much! You have such long, sharp, pretty nails! My friend Suzie has about a gazillion (mas o menos) bottles of nail polish. Before you kill me, maybe come over to her house with me this Saturday, and I bet she'd let you pick out a nice color. Not implying you aren't manly...er... " Hmmm. Good thing that conversation never happened. :)
One time a teacher of mine ran into a moose on a highway somewhere in Canada. The results? The top of the car was rolled up like tin foil, tiny bits of glass were embedded in her skin (which she still continued to find after months had passed), and the moose's gargantuan stomach plopping on her mother's lap. That story would be something nice to have for all those "get to know you" games.
In truth, this picture was taken to honor our friend we call Moose.Um... caption? ? ? Hmmm. Maybe a contest. Come up with a caption for this picture, please. The winner gets a hand-hug.

***EDIT***

This made me think of Honduras, and how I'll be seeing huge spiders.  I'm even excited about the spiders!  Can you believe it?!  (Interrobang.) If you're really nice to me, I'll name a tarantula or a bat after you. :)

And in conclusion, I found a heart shaped blueberry. :)

And in real conclusion, I think it's super ironic that I started this post feeling bad for all the pictures of me everywhere, and then posted more pictures of me. Wow Dianey. You really are ridiculous.
