Dear girl in the train station taking self portraits with her cell phone camera,
Hi, you probably didn't notice me because you were really into your little photo shoot. I mean I guess I understand trying to take a picture of yourself if you're in front of a famous landmark, like say we were at Independence Hall or the Art Museum steps, but we were on Track 3 at Suburban Station waiting for the 3:22 R3 to Media. I mean it's a pretty depressing backdrop, what with the white walls and the dark mysterious stains on the cement. Not to mention that the lighting is horrible. All pale white people look blue, so harsh subterranean flourescents are not going to be your best light. Not to mention that you stood blocking the way for other passengers trying to get by. Also, I saw the really stupid, pouty Top Modelesque poses you were trying to pull off. Tyra says smile with your eyes, not squint them so that you look like you're having a difficult time reading the train schedule. Oh yea and your wardrobe choice was a little casual for a photo shoot...A hooded sweatshirt? Stacy and Clinton would not approve. I'm sure that 2.0 megapixel, plastic lens camera will be sure to give you a nice grainy blur when you post that puppy on MySpace later tonight. Although, I'm not sure that the 45 year old pedophiles posing as 20 year old guys trying to get you to meet them in a dark, unpopulated location for various sexual encounters will mind all that much.
On some of the later shots, you may notice someone in the background giving you really bizarre and horrified looks, almost like they are trying to express "WTF?" through facial expression alone. That would be yours truly!
Thoughtfully yours,
Megan
Mekar I love that you updated! And that's hilarious. I thought you'd be updating about the Jep though. I'm trying to think of anecdotes for you but nothing I can think of is appropriate.
