Last night I ran into a great friend of mine, Emily Walker. She got on to me about my poor blogging habits, so I decided to blog today for her.
I was uninspired until just a few minutes ago though. Two of my roommates who share a room {Heidi and Audrey} are making a "selfie board" for an empty frame they have in their room. It's quite a funny little idea actually. If you're unfamiliar, a "selfie" is a picture taken of one's self by one's self; usually on a camera phone for the purpose of sending to a friend for a good laugh.
In my experience, selfies are not pictures that you take yourself too seriously in. They were asking for any selfies that I had of myself of friends to add to their collection, so that got me looking through my phone's camera roll....I had quite a few selfies of myself and others to help them out, but what I had even more of were mirror pics that I had taken to send to friends when they ask me what I'm wearing that night.
You know how it goes...you don't really know what to wear, don't want to be over dressed or under dressed, so you ask your friend what they're wearing and you attempt to match their fashion genre. After one time too many of taking an hour to type out in great detail to a friend exactly what I was wearing, I found it much more efficient to just snap a picture of what I was wearing and send it on these nifty little smart phones we all have these days.
So, all of this is to say that today I expose my selfies, as shameful as they may be. The hilarity comes from the NUMBER of these that I have........So...here we go...
