I wish I was in Russia and Russian
Oh my God, I just had my wisdom teeth pulled
Please love me
The rock is just a distraction from my boobs
I have more talent than just my body
They are paying me for this?
Do I see someone I know?

I prepare for the day
I’m a hot model
I’m a hot model
I’m very symmetrical
Please see more than just my beauty
Is this shoot over with yet?
I’m so bored right now

I never invest a great deal of thought into how I present myself via "teh internets" like you. You being the aspiring model and media queen, naturally, I'm sure look for meaning in every and all photos. Well in my case.... there isn't any!!!

Reminds me of something someone once said: Derek Zoolander: Well I guess it all started the first time I went through the second grade. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career." Matilda: Do what for a career? Derek Zoolander: Be professionally good looking. Haha at No. 5. Reminds me of something someone once said:

Ive been slowly deleting my e-self in the past year. Deleted Bebo, MySpaz, Facebook. Is a conversation over the internet any less important than one face to face? I dont think so but everytime i add myself to yet another community i feel like im spreading myself thinner. On a funnier note...this is one of my fav comments of ALL time "vanity isn’t a fault when you are really good looking" I will reflect on your points when im less tired.

Like any good pusher, services social networking sites answer existing needs; they create new ones and then fill them. They come to us wrapped in the rhetoric of interpersonal connection, creating a sense that our loved ones, or at least liked or tolerated ones, are electronically present to us, however far away they may be. But I can’t help wondering if we’re underestimating the countervailing effect: the cost we’re paying in our disconnection from our immediate surroundings, in our dependence on a continuous flow of electronic attention to prop up our egos, and above all, in a rising inability to be alone with our own thoughts–with that priceless stream of analog data that comes not from without but from within. http://mybanyantree.wordpress.com/ I am Repeating my earlier comment..

Wherever I may go In case I need to cover up So the real me doesn’t show. I’m so afraid to show you me, Afraid of what you’ll do. You might laugh or say mean things; I’m afraid I might lose you. I’d like to remove all of my paint coats To show you the real, true me, But I want you to try and understand I need you to like what you see. So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes I’ll strip off my coats real slow, Please understand how much it hurts To let the real me show Now my coats are all stripped off I feel naked, bare and cold, If you still love me with all that you see You are my friend pure as gold I need to save my paint brush though And hold it in my hand. I want to keep it handy In case somebody don’t understand. So please protect me my dear friend, And thanks for loving me true, But please let me keep my paint brush with me Until I love me, too. http://mybanyantree.wordpress.com/ I keep my paint brush with me. Wherever I may go
In case I need to cover up
So the real me doesn’t show.
I’m so afraid to show you me,
Afraid of what you’ll do.
You might laugh or say mean things;
I’m afraid I might lose you.
I’d like to remove all of my paint coats
To show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try and understand
I need you to like what you see.
So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
I’ll strip off my coats real slow,
Please understand how much it hurts
To let the real me show
Now my coats are all stripped off
I feel naked, bare and cold,
If you still love me with all that you see
You are my friend pure as gold
I need to save my paint brush though
And hold it in my hand. I want to keep it handy
In case somebody don’t understand.
So please protect me my dear friend,
And thanks for loving me true,
But please let me keep my paint brush with me
Until I love me, too.
