dear picture day,

listening to: a penny loafer saved is a penny loafer earned by relient k
reasoning: penny loafers are pointless... just like picture days.  i think matty t. would agree.

the feeling is mutual.  i hate you too.  all you are is a beauty contest, but you mask the real beauty that a picture doesn't portray.  all you see from a picture is a fake smile and the top of a shirt.  can you say lame?  unfair?  completely opposite of what this person normally looks like?  and another thing, what if you decide to come around when a whole bunch of people are having a bad day? all you're gonna get is straight faces and annoyed glares. what if you ruin a girl's entire life all because her yearbook picture turned out exceptionally horrible?  or blind someone with your bright lights?  or cause a geeky person to stay home because they're so embarrassed of their pimples or glasses or something? don't you think of anyone but yourself?  do me a favor and replace yourself with an x-ray.  an x-ray that shows all the good qualities behind those awful pictures.  all the kindness, laughter, smarts, strength, persistence, hope, passion, and love.  the things that really matter -- the things the whole world deserves to know.  maybe then we'd realize that the name on your shirt, the zits on your face, and the number that's on the scale -- we'd realize all those things are worthless.  maybe we'd see that we're all beautiful to Him.  and that's all that really matters.

sincerely,
anna, the girl who wants x-ray vision
