# New Avatar, Same Old Fugly Face

Today marks the day I update my online avatar/profile picture.

Today marks the day I update my online avatar/profile picture. I've had the same
sepia colored half-face avatar for 4 or 5 years now. So it was about time for a
change. However, the biggest reason I changed it, was cause I cut my hair short
in November, after having long hair for about 10 years.

And in case you're wondering, I'm 18 or 19 in the old photo, and 24 in the new
one. If I shave though I can easily fool people into believing that I'm 17. In
fact, some people think I am 17 :P

I guess I'll appreciate it more when I'm 30-40 and people think I'm 26, hehe.
