ja, changed my profile image. it seemed like the thing to do since I've been taking care of that sort of thing lately. When my driver's license last expired and I went to renew it, I had made the mistake of shaving my head two weeks before hand, and then showing up to have my picture taken in an orange/red hoodie.
Friends and I called it my 'Hare Krishna' picture and it decided looked nothing like me with hair. I also got new glasses three weeks afterwards. When you add all that together with the fact that I frequently barely pass for 'over 18' let alone 26, I had trouble getting into bars, 21+ shows, and purchasing my favorite microbrews at my local beverage vendors.
So I figured I'd have them replace my DL with an updated photo, never mind the $21 fee as long as it saves me those accusatory stares everytime I feel the urge to drink beer. So after being interogated by the DMV employee to verify that I was me (he said I looked NOTHING like my DMV photo) by asking everything from address and date of birth to my vehicle identification number (Yeah, my VIN number! Who the fuck memorizes their VIN number... aside from wierd autistic assholes like me), I finally got a new license.
Hence my new urge to represent the 'current' me as I feel its a good inbetween point. Now if I continue growing my hair our, get a beard, new glasses, shave my head, get 50 new facial piercings (that would be fun) and suddenly turn brown (that would be even better) I'll still be visually reflective of my photo identification.
*sigh*. Looking young sucks ass. I'm just hoping that all my chips will cashout big bux when I am 40 and look 26. Yes, that will be a good day.
