Look

Have you ever forgotten what you look like? I am being serious. I do all the time. You may think that it is impossible to forget what you look like, but I do all the time. It isn't like I am surprised when I look in the mirror, but there are times when I just get puzzled. Let me give you an example. Yesterday I was talking to someone at work and I caught a look at myself in the glass of a picture behind him. I knew it was me, it wasn't like I didn't know who it was - but I had been joking around and I was laughing. I guess I have never seen myself in action. I go to the mirror in the morning, look as little as possible, and get the heck out of Dodge. I don't see myself in a "normal" situation where I am laughing, or crying, or smiling, or frowning, or have my eyes glazed over. I guess it was a little different, and I had forgotten I looked like that when I laughed.

Maybe there is something deeper there, but I am choosing not to go there right now.

Do you laugh because you have fun at work or to be polite bcause the jokes are stupid? I'm voting on #2 (that the jokes are stupid, not that you're polite) umm (well you are that too) (polite, not stupid) ok so anyway I don't think you're so vain a person to study herself in a mirror obsessively throughout the day. And it's nice you can surprise yourself sometimes with a look or a smile. You do everyone else. (surprise them) not obsess (that's what I'm doing here, ok?) (so don't do it, it's annoying, leave it to the professionals)
