haiku for a friday afternoon: blue

102105

this is my new thing for fridays, so bare with me…

blue annoys my eyes
family portraits bring strife
i feel so hog-tied

last saturday was family portrait day, also known as grumpy-pout-pout-idon’twanttodothis day. unless you’re a child under the age of ten who has yet to discover the debilitating pain of self-consciousness, OR the person paying to have the picture taken, having a camera in your face is not exactly fun.

{tommy’s voice echoing in the background – taste of your own medicine, hmmm?}

not to mention the anxiety of finding the perfect shade of blue, to which i did not succeed since mine was a greenish-blue and everyone else wore a lovely shade of blue-blue. i’m sure i’ll stand out…much like that bulbous zit sitting on my face. a beacon. immortalized for all to see over my in-laws’ fireplace f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
