Back in December 2011, I took one too many anti-vertigo medicines after getting dizzy after shooting a custom video, so I decided it would be a fantastic time to wax philosophical on camera. Most of what I shot that evening was unsuitable for viewing by anyone other than my Recycle Bin, but this one was pretty funny. I was getting frustrated at how disproportional I looked when I was in any position other than sitting, leaning forward, with my elbows resting on my knees. So I talked about other positions and showed just exactly how unflattering some other angles are.

This is why I don’t do more videos and pictures: perfectionism and insecurity. Well, and the effort.

Since I gorged on fondue tonight celebrating a friend’s upcoming wedding, it’s a good time to write about my weight. I was always thin – flat tummy and all – until I was 22. I got told I was cute a lot. I’ll let you judge for yourself – this is my passport picture taken a few months after I turned 18, when I was home from college for Thanksgiving my freshman year.
