21. A Favourite Photo of You
Usually, and I mean 99.9% of the time, I hate pictures of me. Like most people, I suppose. I really, really am not photogenic. But this one I don’t mind. I mean, I look a little drunk (JEN O., YOU ARE DRUNK), but I like my hair and I like my freckles and those are my favourite glasses ever. This was taken in Florida last year at the manatee pavilion in Sea World. I love manatees. They’re the best thing ever. Did I ever tell you about the time, a few Florida trips ago, when we were at this very pavilion, standing around, watching the sea cows, talking about their adorableness, when this stranger-lady walked up to us to correct our pronunciation? ”Excuse me, but it’s mantatee.” Uh…thanks, lady. ManTatee. And so, this is how we pronounce manatee forevermore.
You look a little like Sarah Polley.
Weird…I’ve always thought so, myself, but no one else has seen it.
Ha! Great pic, and I love your story. That’s my favorite, when a stranger’s stupidity becomes a beloved inside joke. For my best friend’s wedding shower we picked up the cake, which was reserved in the bride’s last name (Canada). As it was misspelled, to this day I still call her Cananda.
Oh, great. Now I live in Cananda.
Right – you should probably talk to someone about changing the signs.
That’s a great picture of you. At least youre not ironing in a green lantern shirt.
Wait…what’s wrong with the Green Lantern shirt?
absoluetly nothing….i don’t think
those are nice glasses
Thank you and there is never anything wrong with geek culture.
I’m digging those glasses, too. And you don’t look drunk, just relaxed. That’s probably the mantatee.
The mantatees will do that to a person. They’re intoxicating.
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto! As long as the other person knows what you are talking about, that’s all that matters.
And it’s funnier when they don’t.
bee-yoo-tiful. i love the natural-ness (of course that’s a word) of it.
