Yes, It’s Me

I realize my identity has been shrouded in a bit of mystery. I like it that way. I’ve never been an outgoing sort of person. I lurk.

Lurk, lurk, lurk.

Perhaps that’s why I’m not rich and famous.

I’m sure most of you wonder all the time…

What does she look like? Is she even a she? I mean, he’s she’s super awesome, talented beyond belief, a mediocre mother at best, animal activist, and a vegan 6 days out of the year. But we want to see what this Brilliant Sulk person looks like!

So there. Get a good look because I may change my mind and take down this blurry crappy photo any minute.

I hate having my picture taken. It’s in my genes. Whenever a camera gets within 100 feet of my mother she starts flailing her arms like she’s drowning and lets out ear splitting high pitched squeals of  ”No, no, no, no!” all while running backwards.

This photo is tiny for a reason. The giant warts on my nose are no longer noticeable. My usual sallow green complexion actually looks un-corpse like. You’ll also notice I’m wearing glasses. The purpose is to hide my fiery red devil like eyes.

So ta-da. That’s me folks.

      Oh my gosh! You had me for a second!!!

      Thank you Mrs, B. I imagine you the same way.

      Wait. No. Then we’d be twins. Maybe we ARE twins! That would be awesome. I’ve always wanted a sister. Will you be my sister?

    Yay! It’s kind of lined in shadows, which is way better than say, like, a yearbook photo.

      That’s exactly why there wasn’t a photo of me in my yearbook. As far as my school is concerned, I don’t even exist.

    You are fucking hot! And I am not even a lesbian. Although there are those out there that would beg to differ. Those people even consider my HUSBAND to be gay…so we are two gay people who married another gay and thus we are gay toghether. My husband may have better shoes than me so its all quite possible.

    well from a green hill in Wales your life looks very different and we never need shades but your blog title is superb.

      I would love to visit Wales someday. I’ll bring my shades just in case…

    This is an amazing photo. First of all, there’s this hot chick in it, and then it’s all gloomy and artsy, with a cool background and nice composition. :)

      Posted February 14, 2010 at 7:56 pm | #

      Yes, the chick in the red slicker walking across the bridge was TOTALLY hot.

      And yes. I’m naturally gloomy.

    i dunno. i think fiery red devil-like eyes could be quite awesome, actually.

      Red devil eyes come in handy when I wan’t something…

    I see through your clever ruse. You’re not the one in the mirror. not at all. That’s YOU in the red hoodie. You almost fooled me. Almost, but not quite.

    Nice ass.

    You’re sexy. Love the glasses. Totally adds extra mystique. I’d date you. If I was a lesbian, that is.

  28. Posted February 17, 2010 at 8:36 am | #

    OMG! My mother does the EXACT SAME THING! I finally convinced her to take a picture a few months ago claiming that her granddaughter would never remember what she looked like and there would be no photographic evidence to disprove the lies that I would be spewing about her third nipple, crooked teeth and multiple warts.

    It’s great to finally put a face to the name. And get over it, you look pretty HOT to me!

    Oh, you and me both, sister. There will never be any pics of me on the old blog, that’s for sure. I just don’t stick. I kind of fade away as soon as it says click.
    Which is for the best, my face is hardly anything to look at anyway:)
    So, now I will be able to recognize you on the streets of SF, I shall keep my eyes open:).

    What an artistic way of taking self-portrait! I hate looking at myself in the pictures. I am not sure when I will have the courage to show my face on my blog… When the day comes, it probably means I am not longer employed… So maybe not something to look forward to.

    p.s. To reward you for your bravery, actually, for your wonderful posts here, there is an award waiting for you on my blog. :-)
