			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thedatingpapers.com/">Seth</a> (who&#8217;s a lot of fun, and a great writer) suggested that I add a photo of myself to the front of the site. While this makes perfect sense to me from a design and networking point of view, I have to say that I don&#8217;t want to.</p>
<p>I know most people don&#8217;t like looking at pictures of themselves, but it&#8217;s more than that. It&#8217;s my skin that I don&#8217;t want to see, and I won&#8217;t want to look at my site if the eczema is glaring at me as soon as a page loads. (I know this is highly ironic given the focus of this site.)</p>
<p>If you couldn&#8217;t tell, my skin and I have a relationship based on necessary symbiosis, and very little affection. If I could replace it I would. Every time that I see my face in the mirror I hear the word &#8216;monster&#8217; all over again.</p>
<p>Ironically, I used to be an artistic nude model (skin doesn&#8217;t really matter there) and many of photos of me were on the internet. But I&#8217;m far more comfortable with my bare artistically lit torso being on the net than my well it face. Odd I know.</p>
<p>What do you think? Should I put my photo on here?</p>
