See, when I see someone who looks grumpy in that mode in the morning, it makes me want to go smooch 'em on the nose. Which might make them more grumpy, I realize, so I try to curb the impulse. But still.

It looks more like heavy concentration - You're thinking deep thoughts and someone has interrupted you.

cute haircut!

I would totally date you -- if I lived in CT and dated girls. :)

Ps. my fancy camera won't focus that close, thus am I spared (and no one will know that I am coincidentally wearing my Shadow Unit shirt today).

Because the top of your head is cut off by thin lines of white and black? Uff da! I'd wear a hat at that point, too! I'm so glad you regenerate in the shower.

Oddly enough, this is the expression that causes people to say things like "Why are you so upset all the time" and "You're so pretty when you smile". While I was probably trying to remember what I meant to put on the grocery list I forgot to write down, or what part of the Sekrit Government Manual has the instructions I need, and was not planning on killing someone--when they say that--well, I'm ready for some maiming.

If nothing else would have made me a feminist having people feel that they can demand that I smile because women are supposed to have pleasant expressions all the time would have done the trick.

Once again, my office believes your pics, in particular, might be dangerous to appropriate office-type behavior or national security or I dunno what. So I can't SEE IT. Grr.

That's awesome!

At least you look serious. If i was an Alien i would hide in the scuppers. Whatever scuppers are.

If that's your Death Glower, you really need to work on it. No one's even going to be injured by it, much less killed. That comes across more as "intent".

And really, the hair is nothing for just gotten up.

I didn't do it. Honest.

You didn't ask, but I don't see anything un-date-worthy there. You just look awfully serious.

I was sitting in the car thinking about a story, as a kid, and my mom caught my expression in the rearview mirror and yelled, "AHSAVKA," all startled, "you look like you want to kill somebody!"

C'mon, mom, that's just my thinking face.

The photo captures your eye color. That's the first and last thing that catches notice. In between someone might think "oh, morning Bear. Morning Bear hair."

(I have determined that there is no way to take a halfway decent self-portrait unless you have a tripod and a timer. And even then it's 50-50.)

awesome death glower!

At lest you have both eyes open. I finally gave up on a nonsmiling photo because it kept coming out with eyes so lopsided I didn't want to inflict the picture on the Intarwebs.

We wear identical glasses!

I read that as "Darth Glower".

*goes for more caffiene*

Aaaaagh

*dies*

No digital camera. :p But death glower, ftw!

Hey! You look quite date-worthy to me!

(Hmmm. Ten years isn't that much of an age difference ...)

Well, I just learned what feature my adorable overhyped phone version 2 doesn't have that my Palm Treo did. A little mirror spot on the back, just big enough to aim the thing for self portraits. The lack of tactile feedback is also helpful.

The DeathGlower seems to be focused on whoever is standing behind me, trying to read over my shoulder.

Excellent scowlage, my dear!

I have an old photo somewhere in which I am glowering/using my psychic powers on a marshmallow on a stick. Will post when found, but in the meantime, I have also jumped the sheep.

Beautiful eyes you have. I would totally want to date you if I were not genetically monogamous, and/or not married, and you liked older women. Nice brains you have, too. :)
