But I don't usually enjoy having my picture taken, either,
Huh. I don't recall you ever having told me that before--did you do so and I just forgot? If so, please accept my apologies.
But I would be dishonest if I didn't share that I get a little twitchy when someone asks for pics when I didn't freely offer them.
Had no idea. Again, if you have mentioned this, my apologies. One of the reasons I am did not take a cue from my mother or sister and take up acting is that there isn't much room to say no to being photographed. I think I assume theater folks generally either like it or don't mind it. Now I know that to not be the case.
I almost didn't post this post because I was afraid of requests for pics
I am a bit surprised I was the only one. If you didn't want such requests, I am confused why you did not specify. I am also confused why you told me to ask B--I asked twice because you asked me to so I am confused why you would instruct me to do so if you did not want that?
I feel sad when my friends (and you are my friend!) seem not to trust my words and want photo documentation instead
Yay! The friendship perception is quite mutual:) I am confused by the trust issue--I don't distrust your words one bit--you expressed so much joy that I wanted to share in it. Trusting your words or not trusting your words never came into into it for me. Also--I don't actually see you very often these days. When I do see you, I think you look fantastic (people in love kind of glow). I myself had some of my hair cut into long bangs in hopes that having them would make the growing out process more livable. For all I know, I could take a hint from your style, but never at the expense of making you uncomfortable. My apologies for getting confused and upsetting you. Please feel free to be blunt with me and tell me here or in a pm (don't care which) that you would rather not deal with pics now. If pointing me at B was a subtle hint to please not ask, I confess I failed to get it. It really is ok to be blunt.
Can we agree not to ask for pics of each other, and instead enjoy each others verbal descriptions of things when we don't want to post pics?
Of course! I will assume, then, that if you don't post pics, that it is because you don't want to. So sorry to cause you sadness--it's the last thing I would want to do. And so glad you like your haircut:) I don't have to see it--I can live with mystery!
