Picture!

[pyrephox]

Okay, I got a camera and took a picture, while trying it out. So, here ya go, if you're interested.





I have a very messy room, with not enough book shelves, which is why those books are in horrible disarray behind me. Although, to be scarily honest, my room is a lot cleaner now than it was, say, a few months ago.

And I should have smiled.

Yes! I like closed-lip smiles. They actually look friendly. When people get those wide grins on their faces, they kind of look like they're about to bite people.

[snrk!] [nodnods] I mean, they're fine on some people, and they're no problem when small, but... Way too few people do closed-lips smiles, IMO. ^^

Yes! Some people grin like sharks. Some people don't. I'm one of those people who grins as if she's eyeing your jugular, so I try to stick to closed-mouth smiles as well. And I had braces when I was younger; I think a great many people who had braces as kids are more fond of the closed mouth smile.

Heeeeeee. [snickers, nods]

I just don't like the way I look when I grin, myself. Of course, my default expression is a "..."-sorta one... >.> So it's easier to go from that to closed-mouth smiling.

(Who said frowning took effort? Apparently I frown when I'm not actively trying not to, according to Mom. [snickers])

Me, too! I always get someone saying, "You look upset! What's wrong?" when I'm in a perfectly happy mood, just not concentrating on /looking/ happy, if that makes any sense.

This clearly means that we were meant to rule the world, for we already have our Serious Expressions well trained and ready to go.

[nodnods!] I understand entirely. It takes effort to smile all the time, especially if your default expression is "..."-ish... [grins, wry] (I mean, I know people who're the exact opposite - always smiling, and look SCARY when they aren't, because if something could make that person be less than happy... Well, yeah. ^^ But!)

[laughs!] Yes! ^^

I always get someone saying, "You look upset! What's wrong?" when I'm in a perfectly happy mood ...

and now you are suddenly upset even though you weren't before? Yup been getting that for years.

Re:

[pyrephox.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. In my case, it tends to go that someone asks me what's wrong, and nothing is, so I say that, they don't believe it, keep pestering me, and I end up /wanting/ to say, "Yes, something's wrong. You're getting on my nerves!" But usually don't. :/

Mm, smiles. I have about 20 different smiles, and they range from tiny little closed lips ones, Elosmiles, even, to scary fang-baring ones. And the best part? I can morph 'em. >) I can start with the Elosmile and end with the "Wow, I like your throat. Bend it a little so I can rip it out better, will you?" one. Scares the wits out of people. ^_^
