You were closer than most -- only one little mistake:<br /><br />"others" should have been "ithers"...<br /><br />Regarding image, the me on the outside is nothing at all like the me on the inside. More's the pity.<br /><br />I used to care greatly how I was perceived. I don't any more, which is not to say I have let myself go to seed, only that I will be in the ground soon enough. I'm too busy enjoying what is left of my life to worry about what others think. Not that I'm a libertine, either -- probably pretty much an old prude. To a point. After that, it's Johnny, bar the door.<br /><br />I'm making no sense whatsoever, but I hope you understand what I mean.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-41439819390349051822013-08-24T18:26:52.518+01:002013-08-24T18:26:52.518+01:00Images are deceiving me lately, even my own.

Or did you just like the car....?<br /><br />The only image I worry about these days is when I look in the mirror and the figure before me is not the one I see when I look down.<br /><br />I suspect different people see me in different ways - around where we live, the financiers see me as weird and whacky, but in the creative community, I'm seen as very staid...and probably past it. The truth is probably not in the middle, but a combination of the two...Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.com
