• Why it's OK to be Tacky on Xanga

  I know it's tacky to take pictures of yourself.   Especially if it's one of those "hold the camera over your head and look up at it" pics:     Of one of those, hold it out in front of you so you're always in the bottom corner of the photo pictures:     And it's even tackier to photoshop pictures of yourself and put them on the internet, like this:     But some of us do it anyway because:   a) we're bored and know that pictures of ourself are at least a little more interesting than pictures of veggies.     b) we know that pictures of ourselves are more interesting than pictures of fruit.     c) we know that you'd rather look at pics of people than pictures of leaves and bugs.     d) And it's practically a crime to post pictures of flowers.  I mean, one picture of a pretty flower is okay...but 10 of the same flower?     And taking a picture of the flower with yourself also in the picutre does not necessarily add bonus creativity points to the photo:     e) You can only look at so many pictures of one's pet before that gets old:     f) Finding a mushroom might be a cool discovery, but pictures of that discovery aren't so interesting.     g) Our friends are not around and it is not okay to take pictures of strangers.  When you do that, they grab your camera, throw it at your head, trip you with your tripod, and strangle you with the camera cord.  it's not a pretty sight.     So that is the science and the reason why people, such as myself, take pictures of ourself when we get bored and need something to do.  Don't whack it!
