~ so my friends stop buggin' me ~

friends

whose names remain unmentioned

are insisting

 "include a photo of you!"

"soon!"

much easier said than done

 when you are the one usually taking the photos,

when you aren't "in" to self-photography,

you know the kind

where you stick the camera

at arm's length

in front of your face

*snap*

and then

immediately

 looking expectantly to see whatever

~amusing~

~out of focus~ 

~ ridiculous ~

~or humiliating~

image you haphazardly

may have captured

tim snagged this photo last week when he was taking photos

of one of the mission properties that we hope to sell

he was in the process of making a flier

to distribute

to let people know about the property

I'm not sure why

?????

but since he took this photo

to please a few friends

voilà!

a photo of me

(and my colleague diane)

surrounded by a bunch of

silly

stream-of-consciousness

sorts

of words

because tonight

 i'm too tired to come up with something more creative
