(no subject)

So... a friend of mine expressed a wish to see a current pic of yours truly, and I didn't have any. I said I hate to be photographed these days... but then I decided to get over myself and at least TRY to take a pic that wouldn't look disgusting. It took about fifty failed (and instantly deleted) attempts or so... but there it is.:D

( trying hard to look pretty :P )

In other news, I just removed my Facebook account. There was no point to it, really, and I started getting "friend requests" from people I didn't even know, which sort of freaked me out. Plus, there's just too much talk about Facebook at my workplace. Everyone seems to be on it. And I had always considered my online life to be something entirely separate from my "professional" life, such as it is. I do not want that to change. LJ is my safe haven, where I do not have to flaunt my legal identity in everyone's face, so to speak (those who do know my "real" name are discreet enough not to use it here). Oh, and btw - the friend who had originally invited me to create a FB account has disappeared from the site as well, with no explanation whatsoever. I took that as a sign... my own cue to leave the scene, so to speak. Whoever was on my friends list over there can reach me by other means, should they choose to. I just didn't feel comfortable there and couldn't quite see the purpose of the whole thing. It was frustrating to even look at it, somehow. Call me weird. *shrug*

Anyway... LJ is my online home of choice, and here I shall remain.:)
