The Quest for the Elusive Profile Picture

Long and rough is the quest for that elusive profile picture. Hours are spent in front of the mirror, smirking, grinning, snarling, laughing... Anything to get the perfect shot, something that will make you look cool, funny, and likeable. Tonight my friends and I got out the cameras and began taking pictures as we goofed around on the floor. I realized something important: I look terrifying in every picture I take. It's quite sad really. Is it possible for me to look normal and approachable in at least one photo? Apparently not. We took pictures of each other jumping frantically in the air. The only problem was that I was pushed from behind and ended up with a look of terrified bewilderment on my face. It became the source of ten straight minutes of laughter and ridicule... A couple of my friends decided it was a good idea to climb up into the storage compartment above my closet to take some humorous shots. Wow. That's all I can say. Again, however, I looked awkward in all of my pictures. Perhaps I need to learn to look and act more normal; that will be a challenge.
