This Is Not the Resemblance You're Looking For

My little sister, home for 6 days and a family dinner before leaving for her first year at the Royal Military College of Canada.
The best line of the night? ...
"I may not have dessert but I think I may just gum down another beer."
A 36 year old, an 18 year old and an 11 year old and ohmygod, dilution of the strain galore! But, although I was once accused of being someone else's child - shock me by telling me you don't see it. Even facial trauma and a bit of rebuilding can't change who you are...
(and yes, it's current. It's about 9 weeks after surgery so far and my face is still swollen and really sore but here's the funny/good thing - people don't remember what you looked like before and so from straight on I'm not different enough for occasional people to notice. The biggest changes I notice since the accident really are in what my face looks like and how I see myself - to ME it's very different. From any other angle than this one the changes are more noticeable. It's just all very weird.)..
Anyways, I just can't get the fuck away from looking like a goddman **** and having ears big enough to keep us all cool during a heat wave. She and I have the same blue eyes which you'd see if I wasn't such a squinty chick - must be inherited from another 'side' of the family. ha.
*click to biggify*
And, number two - - just cause I like it. He was trying for a mean face but either it didn't come through very well or I missed it. It's like Elmer Fudd trying to look mean, anyways, but it was funny.

have I been blind?

have I been blind?
have I been lost?
have I been wrong?
have I been wise?
have I been strong?
have I been hypnotized, mesmerized
by what my eyes have found?
in that great street carnival, in that carnival?

And also? I heard you the first time on photo number two. Sometimes you make me cry at the most inappropriate times. Really.
