apparently in order for my hand to come out proportionally as large as everybody else's, she had to keep scaling it up until it looked normal.

ok, this isn't too much of a problem. different distances used for taking the picture, different angles, different lighting conditions could have caused my hand in the picture to appear smaller or larger than all the rest some simple photoshopping should fix that, as she had done.

the problem was that once my hand looked to be the correct size, the bulb came out twice the size of all the others. so it wasn't really a matter of the way the picture was taken, but in fact my hand was half the size of all the others.

add to this the fact that i just recently (like, last week) bought a brand new pair of jeans and have to roll them up about 3" just so they don't completely drag on the ground, and the fact that i had no idea until we went to visit bryan's dad's family for thanksgiving and i happened to see myself in their mirror how ghostly white i have become.

i haven't really looked in any mirrors with natural light lately, and have only seen one picture of me, but i was by myself with nothing to compare to. but suddenly i realized that wow... i am WHITE.

now, i've never been much of a sun worshipper. in fact i actually have a bumper sticker that someone gave me in highschool that says "allergic to sunlight". but there is a difference between a "delicate porcelain" and "so white i could be confused for dead". i seriously look like i have no blood in my body. goth/emo kids would be jealous and try to skin me, if i were ever outside long enough for them to see me. i glow in the dark. in pictures i must come out looking like something from cocoon. i'd make a really crappy ninja.

guess i'd better get back on those iron pills...
