Profile Picture

So this time, I won't be talking about my profile picture. However, if you guessed that this post was related to Facebook, you would be correct. Ding, Ding, Ding.

So a few days ago, I was looking up something on the internet, using Google of course, and I ran across a picture of this random Asian girl. What I was looking up, I honestly had no idea, but I stumbled upon this picture that looked exactly like one of my friends.
With her being her of course, she immediately told me it looked nothing like her. In disbelief, she disregarded any attempts I had to persuade her. In the end I made with her a bet.

"Post it as your profile picture on Facebook, and we'll let the world decide."

So she did and to sum it up in two words... I won.

7-2: 7 people didn't realize that it wasn't her and told her that it was a cute and beautiful picture, two recognized that it wasn't her. Of course, it was her "older brother" and close friend that recognized her; however, it was still surprising that there were some people she talked with often that still didn't recognize her. After leaving my own comment, I left it as it was.

It's funny how you can pretend to be who you aren't on Facebook, even if who it seems is on the cover is oh so close to who you are in the albums. Confusing in this context, philosophical if you're willing to extrapolate what you will.

*Unfortunately, I can't post a picture of the girl I found on the internet. It would just be an brash invasion of privacy. However, if you're privy to this who situation, you'll know what I'm talking about.
