Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?

Forget the bluriness, my dad doesn't realize the digital camera isn't taking the picture until the screen turns black. This is probably the best of the batch, honestly.

Ok, so apparently I'm lanky and I didn't realize it. I guess the girl from Clueless had it right when she took polaroids of every outfit she tried on because she didn't trust mirrors. I've seen myself in mirrors before, and I didn't notice anything wrong, but after looking at this picture I've come to a realization: I'm not just tall, I'm lanky. Just look at my arms.

I knew I had a longer wingspan than I am tall, but I didn't really think that made me lanky. But apparently it does.

When looking at the pictures my dad took of my volleyball tournament at Messiah (that I made it to on time, barely, thank you very much) that was the first thing I noticed (well after I got rid of the ones that were blurry, and the ones where I'm not even in them). I guess there is nothing wrong with me being lanky, some people have to be lanky while others are fat, but still this is a harsh realization. If only someone would have told me sooner.

Oh sure, when I bring it up they admit I am lanky, but why couldn't they say this earlier? That way these pictures wouldn't have been such a shock to me. And they were, I was not expecting each arm to look like it's the length of my body.

I guess this is one thing I can hate about my body.

Well this and my lips.
