The Journal of Emily G Myers clarification

Tim Ellis made me think a bit about my journal entry regarding vanity... he seemed to understand that I was saying anyone who had a picture was vain... oh no no. So here's the response in case anyone else was thinking the same thing:
Hmm... maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been in my journal. I'm certainly not saying that because people have pictures or type whatever in their journals they're egotistical... not at all. I have a picture (which, by the way, was not digitally altered... I have a paper snowflake on my mirror and I took a picture of myself in the mirror) and a journal in which I write things that most people probably struggle to understand. I was referring to girls who put up their pictures and then their biographies say things like "compliment my poetry - not my picture" and crap like that. I'm certainly not going to deny (as I mentioned in my journal entry, actually) that I think ALL writers are egotistical. Anyone who parades themselves over the internet must have a tinge of the inflated ego. I've never denied that... Hmm... maybe I just wasn't clear enough.
So there you are. If you have that deal going on - the picture and the biography - please don't be offended... I was just using it as an example. Maybe you don't really have an inflated ego. Whatever. Sorry. I'll shut up now. I am currently Unsure
