I'm ambivalent about posting a pic. I really enjoy the faceless anonimity of the Internet. Seems so much more of a challenge to engage someone's attention with only words, relying on your capability to intrique by conjuring images, not providing them with pictures. But I feel as though I have to put up something. So, what should I do? Go the easy route and put up some cheesecake pic of myself? Would get the most responses,according to the polls. "Display a sexual identity"is what the tips for Internet interaction say. But that just seems too easy. Some old Bettie Page pics? Seems evasive and it's been done.But a pic of me is what I'll do. Truth is,I haven't had a pic taken of me in ages- I guess a result of having too many taken at other times. Cameras kind of make me flinch now. Invasive little things.Can't imagine having a webcam- I barely can make myself answer the phone most of the time.God- I sound like a grouch but I'm not, really. Just a low tolerance for intrusions.Pity the fool who walks in my house unannounced. But that's just because I'm usually naked.Unless it's a good friend, then I offer them a Mai-Tai.
