Ahh profile pictures…either you love them or you hate them.
That’s because they give the first impression…whether or not that’s a good one.
First Impression: I have sweet angles. See how disfigured and obscure my face/upper torso/feet is? Well that’s just the marksmanship of a MySpace photo pro.
First Impression: You will never ever know what my face actually looks like, because of the fact that I love taking pictures of inanimate objects, random body parts, trees, and my feet. I also probably think this is an AWESOME photo.
First Impression: I’m a bad ass (or at least that’s what I’m aiming for). See those vintage sunglasses, the over processed color saturation levels, and that sick GROWL? Well you better see it cause I spent hours getting this picture to look tight.
First Impression: Yes, I’m another one of those spoiled high maintenance girls, and you better know it. If you buy me something (ANYTHINGGGGG) then I’ll turn my frown upside down and give you a big hug! But then, I’ll become clingy and demand MORE from you using my underestimated pout.
First Impression: I’m the creeper from across the street. Nobody really knows who I am, but I make my appearances here and there. My favorite pastime is Facebook stalking pretty girls and commenting on their every photo “l00king hawtttt sexayyy”
First Impression: I’m quiet. And I like taking pictures that make people think. That’s all I will ever have to say. Because I’m shy.
First Impression: I’m what people call “overly emotional” but you can shorten that to “~**~emo~**~”. I play Panic at the Disco on my guitar, and I like listening to NeverShoutNever, Linkin Park, and Green Day I LOVE PEOPLE! I ALSO LOVE ANIMALS! I LOVE EVERYTHING! ESPECIALLY MY PUPPIES! I also love loving people. Even though I can get obnoxiously happy at times, I STILL LOVE YOU! example: do you see how my puppy dog is leaning away from me? Welllll, I still love her. AND THAT MEANS THAT I WILL STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
First Impression: I get annoyed extremely easily. You might think I’m scary (use “intimidating,” please), but deep inside I’m really nice (to people I like, that is), and to actually witness that other side of me, you have to work on it. If I don’t like you…too bad. Deal with it.
First Impression: I’m mysterious. See, you can’t even tell if I’m white or black (or neither) from this photo! THAT’S how mysterious I am. I like writing poetry about LIFE, DEATH, LOVE, AND HATE, and I usually sit by myself and people call me “the loner.” But the truth is, I’m just different from all those other people.
First Impression: yo soy crazyo! I can have tons fun by doing weird things, like jumping off chairs. (Do you even KNOW how long it took me to get a jumping shot??? I ended up jumping off from a higher chair so that I could get more “air time”) Don’t question the state of my mind because I’ll probably not give you an answer but laugh maniacally.
First Impression: I’m going through my teenage angst phase, so leave me alone to listen to my mainstream music-of-choice, get that camera out of my face, and please **** off.
First Impression: I’m an underaged drinker and I do drugs because that’s where all the fun’s at. I also appreciate the attention that I get from my 15 year old friends telling me that I’m so cool. Because I am. See that fruity haze? You know it ! I’m so out of it that I can’t write coherent sentences that make sense. i aLs0 tYp3 lyK d1ss!!! cause that’s what the cool kids do.
So after having you scroll through all that crap up there, I guess the moral of this story (there is no story) is to chose your profile picture wisely.
Unless you’re a part of 95% of the internet population that just doesn’t care. Oh well. Have fun! I know I did…
Which of these profile pictures do you come across most often? Which is the most annoying? Which one do you have?
guest
Lol. XD
guest
I can actually agree with most of this!!
haha good job. i like how you did this
guest
Mine looks like the creeper. Hahaha.

Haha.
I’m so tired of seeing all the deuces/peace signs.
My favorite one that you did was the one of you jumping off the chair.
guest
haha i think you had too much fun taking the profile pics for this
guest
Very well done, haha I liked it <3
guest
Haha, cute!
guest
hehe
love it!
guest
Haha, well done
orchid / 223 posts
Ya know … I have to admire your thoroughness, lol. Cool… (and there’s a reason why my own profile pics are so vague… but they’ll never know what it is…)
guest
lol.
hahahahah.
this is quite interesting. i like it.
guest
hahaha ive gottne over the take a pic of myself in the mirror or in general pics. my profile pic r usually ones that have been taken of me n a gf and i just crfop her out or i eveen include her….somtimes i change the tint and saturation like in the one i currently have. funny how this post shed up on my feed as I just did this to my pro pic.lol
guest
I have had all of those as m profile picture so I must be schizo…
guest
LOL

I loved this!
guest
I’d attempt the jumping off the chair one- but I’m pretty sure xanga would witness a profile picture of me breaking my ankles into 20 tiny pieces. Lol- well done though!
guest
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
“First Impression: I’m quiet. And I like taking pictures that make people think. That’s all I will ever have to say. Because I’m shy.”
I was loling.

Profile pics DO provoke thoughts, but I just dont like the indecent ones. That’s more of you than I would care to know. LOL
Out of all these examples, I like the quiet & mysterious profile pics! =)
orchid / 162 posts
Hehe I like this(:
And my picture looks like a mix between the creeper and the emo kid :p lol
cherry blossom / 27 posts
Haha, most of the time, I only go to pages where I can see the girl’s (I usually visit girls pages..lol) face. Or at least hoping to find more pictures there.
guest
LOL I’ve read this one on the Top Blogs before.
guest
this is so cute!
guest
i don’t care.
guest
the mysterious picture is really cool!
guest
I would say that I come across too many pictures of people doing something like, jumping in mid air, or some odd angle of their face. I think, based on the profile pictures I’ve had on myspace, facebook and maybe even here, people are probably thinking, “What the fuck is she?”
guest
lol nicely put.
guest
panic at the disco is not emo.
sunflower / 320 posts
This. Is. GREAT! I love this! LOL So true…
orchid / 135 posts
I don’t have either. Mine is me getting pied in the face so I guess I’m the crazy person…?
guest
lol k ummm…sooo… first impression… i hide behind my art?
guest
I have a plethora of varied profile pictures in my arsenal, however all of my profile pictures are currently in the “cute (almost sickeningly so) relationship pic” category. Exhibit A: look to the left of this comment, haha! Oh well, those pictures are for me to enjoy, so I’m not too concerned with what other people think! Great post, by the way! I got a good laugh out of it, especially since it’s so true!
guest
I don’t think I have any of that… Maybe mine is like a…. “I’m happy! Peace!” I don’t know… & the only one I like is the crazy like one. The rest is just “…. uhm… okay?”
guest
haha! that creeper one is hilarious.
guest
hahaha. I just put a picture of me. I don’t know. I don’t like taking pictures of myself. my picture is just one someone took of me walking down some stairs. I don’t really think too deeply into it though haha.
guest
the worst part is my favorite picture is the last one, well it’d be better with your face, but oh well.
orchid / 227 posts
Hahaha. I enjoyed reading your blog. Very insightful.
guest
you gotta stop trying too hard, bitch.
guest
Well Look at it. . .and tell me what pic you think i have. CuZ ! NoE hU ! @m & A picture can not sum me up cause I take pics of all kinds and on meyespace it changes everyday ~Muuuwaahahahahah!~….
Im in a nice place under a street light (this one was a side walk light actually) Chill’n Rock’n Nice Treadz Can’t see my Eyez. I have a Smirk on my face. + headfones and a Fox Tail oh and can’t forget the giant Red Diamond shaped Piece of Glass i call a “Chaos Emerald”
The pic i see the most and the pic you forgot. “Ghetto” The pic of the Girls Or Guys show off they Body but throwing up a gang sign or peace. or the middle finger. also the pic is poorly taken in a mirror or a room with poor lighting Thats what i see most on myspace LOL cause everyone wants to be gangsta there LOL.
But here on xanga i see lots of the 1st pic.and the 8th
guest
hahahhaaaa this post was awesome!
guest
lmao most of us are guilty of having one of these at some point in our lives!
guest
I kind of liked the shy picture, actually.
dahlia / 2942 posts
Where’s the normal smile profile picture?
guest
Amusing & funny post.
I got a mysterious photo on my Facebook (that I never use) just to mess with people ’cause no one can tell if it’s really me.
And the only other photo I have there is a jump shot. So fun. <3
guest
i dont really care
but i dont like those self-obessed pics.
im those “jumping-of-the-chair, ooh! im in mid-air!” picture person
guest
LOL! That looked like a ton of work and effort to put together–bravo!
guest
hehe this was cutee(:
guest
<~~ Falcon, not a vulture!
guest
Ahaha xD. Cute pictures :3 .
magnolia / 1369 posts
this is a really cute post =) but the feet are … ew. feet just = nasty in my world. those kinda pictures are probably the most annoying because i like to put a face to the posts
guest
lol. i wonder what mine says… i’m going for the “i want you to know who i am (vaguely), but i don’t want you to know my face because I don’t want creepy people coming up to me in public saying hey i know you!”…. but maybe i’m just giving off the “i’m mysterious and shy” vibe… which would be pretty much dead on.
guest
Haha that was an awesome post. The last one, regretfully, its like half my college, although they don’t have the cig, they have themselves getting drunk :-/
My fav was the jumping one! I wanna do that just for a cool pic.
I like to have pictures of myself and my boyf, because we just look really cool together
. My current one is one that about half my friends have said belongs in a magazine because it cannot possibly be a real couple, even though it was a picture which we weren’t expecting to be taken until like two seconds before it, lol.
guest
like it.
guest
LOL funny stuff
i’ve seen the last one a ton of time. and i have one of those saturation photos lol.
guest
This is pretty cool
lol
guest
Lol. That was great. Loved it.
guest
lol this is hilarious
guest
you’ve got some nice photog skills. what camera do you have!
guest
“First Impression: I’m quiet. And I like taking pictures that make people think. That’s all I will ever have to say. Because I’m shy.”
LoL
I am shy and quiet, I do take pictures of random things and this is all I’ll ever say. ^_^
guest
nice analysis, my profile pic was put there in part to produce a little mystery by not showing my ugly mug. but that mystery is easily solved if you look at my photostrip. heh
tulip / 5 posts
so what does my profile pic tell u about me?
i wonder….. u anylased tose wuite well
hehe
guest
this is really cute. i think my profile picture’s first impression is: “i’m super b.a. i’m poppin’ my colla, poppin’ poppin’ my collaa…i’m crazy.”
daisy / 728 posts
i just needa show my face nicely on my profile pic, thats all =P

LOL. I like the way you did this. It must have taken you a long time girl! Thank you for enlightening us!
guest
I have the one that shows I’m all over my boyfriend because I’m clingy and have no life!
guest
i hate the people who take mirror pictures eh so lame
guest
pahaha.
so true.
I was just thinking about changing my profile picture when I saw your entry, no joke.
Is that supposed to be a sign?
rose / 855 posts
Brilliant post. I chose to just use a “smile” portrait for my profile pictures. :p
guest
LOL…
guest
which one do I have?
guest
this is all so true! i perfer the straight up i’m a stud profile pic! the one that i find most annoying is when some uses a picture for there profile pic. like a little cartoon or symbol. just show us what you look like!!
great post kiddo!
guest
this made me lol
especially the badass, because i stumbled across quite a few pictures JUST like that recently.
hydrangea / 88 posts
usually, my profile pix display a great scenic backdrop and me caught candidly. last time i had my face on the profile, ppl recognized me in bowling alleys, restaurants and on the street, thus i take a bigger care now…..
lol
guest
I lulz’d
guest
The profile pics that annoy me the most are the ones where someone has OBVIOUSLY cropped someone else out of the shot. Like, there’s an arm around the person or something like that. Seriously? just include them in the damn picture, or don’t use it at all. it makes you look conceited, imo, plus it makes the picture awkward. So many of my friends do this and it drives me nuts!
guest
Haha. Good post. ^_^
guest
Cute. But most of these pictures showed insecurity.
Angles? Crazy lighting? Hiding behind things? Scenery/objects without showing the face?
Why not just come out and show JUST you? I mean, it’s a profile picture. Doesn’t have to mean everything and tell your life story in one glimpse.
guest
you smoke?
guest
I think you made a point (somewhere) but why does every post have to be about you or your pics?
guest
hahaha. i see the high maintenance one the most. i normally just laugh at those obnoxious chicks, though and be glad that i actually mean it when i make the peace sign.
guest
ha, my cousin has to best jumping picture on her fb.
she’s into martial arts, so she did a flying sidekick. it’s a very ninja picture.
guest
hah. funny
~Cheers.
guest
haha I love this :]
guest
true, i must admit ur right, there are other types of pics but u basically sumed it up. i go for a crazy picture, or one thats of a memory with mates or a quiet photo or just me smiling or watever
guest
Such an awesome entry!!
guest
Paha, I like how you did this.
~The ones I find annoying; Are the emo/dark looking ones. and NO, I am not agaisnt emos.
guest
I like this – good effort
guest
halfway though i realized that they were all you. lol. good portration of the different types. funny post. :]
guest
This was fun : D
guest
did i just impress anyone? *winks winks*
guest
the kissy face ones
and the’peace’
ones are most common
i hate kissy face
wtf are you tryna seduce?
camera fetish?
guest
Woooww!! Awesome post! love it♥ How did you do the third picture by they way, if it’s not a secret?
guest
oh, i liked those
guest
you are awesome for posting an entry like this. I know people who have pictures like the ones you posted (which you did a realllllllly great job on) and the way you described them is dead-on. not for all, but most
guest
haha, i loved this. (:
guest
LOL i’m not sure what mines would tell people o.O!
guest
Smart.
Now what do we do with icons?~
guest
Haha I liked this!
I hatehatehate the people who don’t have a profile pic, or have like a landscape as their picture, etc. That’s what annoys me the most.
Ps, all your pics came out awsome. I love the “creeper”, “emo”, and “underage drinker” ones haha.
guest
i come across the peace sign one and the picture taken from the top more often. i think the most annoying is the “emo” one though. i have no idea why. it just is.
orchid / 154 posts
i like the feet one:) it’s cute
guest
Lol and it’s true!
guest
I love the variety!
I don’t have the guts to put up my pic, but yours is really cool.
guest
Your posts are asinine and the fact that I have to look at them on the front page saddens me.
guest
Wow~
: )
guest
LOL. Miss, your posts crack me up. It sure looks like you’re having a ton of fun while typing them. Honestly, I’m one of those 95% who doesn’t care, but yes profile photos do give somewhat of a “first impression.” You will never catch me with profile photos of just my breasts.. Haha!
sunflower / 494 posts
hahahaha. i think my profile picture is: trying to act cool LOL
guest
haha i’m sort of a creeper i guess
sunflower / 323 posts
lmaoo , i love this .
guest
are most of these pictures.. of you?? haha props!! i respect that if you chose to expose the truth about photos like that, especially if they’re of yourself.
guest
u aced this big time! i couldn’t stop laughing one after another.. i definately get/got annoyed with pic 1 & 4
guest
ROFL. my first impression of the mysterious profile picture was actually “wtf ghost.”
funny funny post.
guest
I like the mysterious picture.
guest
I get annoyed by the peace sign ones! High matienance…ahhh my golly gee! lol My profile pic on here isn’t even me but my one on facebook is just me smiling, and it’s black and white…so, maybe all those things you said above mixed together?
I like the jumping off chair one, and the one where the person’s far away…pretty hackin’ cool.
I enjoyed reading this! It was entertaining.
guest
true story. that’s all i have to say lol
guest
Hahahahaha! Some of those photos were hilarious.
guest
I love the emo and mysterious,i do cutesy mostly.
