Well, if I had to say what is the first thing that people will notice about me, I would say that I laugh a lot. And believe me, it's noticeable. I get it from my mom. Both of us have been thrown out of classes for laughing too loud and well, not being able to stop ourselves. But to my credit, I was in eight standard when that happened to me, she was in college when she was thrown out for laughing in a class!
Even my best friend claims that she learnt the trick to look good in a picture from me. It was to laugh and voila, the picture starts beaming too!
While you will find me laughing out loud in all my pictures, the only exceptions to this rule are the pictures I took for my driving license. Even though I was excited to clear the knowledge test and the skill test, I tried hard to control my laughter/ grinning and gave quite a sombre pose to the Minnesota DMVstaff.
Some people and specifically my driving instructor found it out that I didn't smile for my picture. The reason is this: the only time I would really need to have a license on me...truthfully...is when I go out to drink! (A friend remarked to this: "So you are getting a driving license to drink, would you apply for a drinking license to drive?") And in the bars, they are just checking for your age, they don't look at your face.
The only other time would be if I get pulled over say for driving too slow on a freeway (like at 40 instead of 55 mph). So, the cop comes by, pulls me over and wants to look at my picture. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to be grinning in the picture when you are all apologetic in reality. Wait, what did you say, or it could be for driving at 60? No chance on earth! The only way I would be going on a freeway at 60 instead of 40 is if I didn't have my glasses on and 40 for some reason looked like 60. In that case, not only would I be grinning in my picture, I would even have my glasses on! EMBARRASSING!
The point of this post: I got a license! Finally! And I voted the day after that - for some university election. This is the first time in my life that I have voted for a decision that could potentially affect my life. Oh, I feel like such a grown-up that I may curb down the grinning a bit.
