I do when I smile. 
And I hate it. (And I think that very squint is the reason I hate HER so much too.) Which is why I always have the same smile in posed pictures. You know the one. With my mouth open and eyes all wide. 
you look like you're very surprised by the fact that you're taking a picture of yourself. or like a party girl looking or some fun. cute as a button. i love your pics  [Edited 12/9/08 12:15pm] | |

Looks like a winter wonderland in the woods ! LOVE IT !! My parents often rent cabins up north in the winter for a getaway. It's quite peaceful. Jess will be a senior next yr - our last of 4 to finish HS - so I was thinking a winter trip and snowmobiling - or something  | |

That scene whre she walks out of the airport into the cold is almost exactly what some Dutch friends of mine experienced a few years ago when visiting Mpls. in the winter.
They still talk about the cold. They had never experienced anything like it, and of course they didn't have anything really warm to wear with them either. Yeah, yeah. That part is true. that part was ME this morning, wearing pantyhose to go with my skirt dammit | |

About a million light years ago, I use to hang out in the "Minnesota Room" on AOL. Yes, I did...dear god.. anyways, I went in there thinking I would find a million Prince fans, what I found instead was some of the most sweetest, sincere, horniest, people around. God love them. To this day, I still stay in very close contact with 2 dear friends I met in there, one from Excelsior and one from Mankato. They are 2 of the dearest friends a girl have ever had. God bless Minnesotans. | |

My view is skewed. I've only ever visited Minnesota in the summer.
Somewhere in my mind, I do still expect the state to be a slow, icy Midwestern hell in the winter. But I have to admit MPLS was actually a pretty cool town. I could happily live there... for a little while at least. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

that's what people think of the midwest as a whole, in general. | |

That's why I was shocked at how hardcore your accent was: "Furture baby mama"

It's becoming a bit of a stereotype, but that's not what I think of when I think of Minneapolis or the kitties.
I think Catherine O'Hara did a great job with the accent and mannerisms in A Mighty Wind. It wasn't so cliched. I'm not the biggest fan of Renee Suckslemonsface either. | |

I never thought that someone as cool as Renee Zellweger would go there, but yeah that's pretty much it.  | |

Yeah, the airport thing is about right. And I've never even been there when it's REALLY cold. "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

this month, exactly 2 years ago, I had a three hour layover on my way to L.A. to see Muse. A good friend of mine who´s from MPLS picked me up and drove me through town and we had something to eat....I like the vibe, and it was thrilling to have my pic taken in front of 1st Ave.....  | |

Minneapolis is a great little city. I  it. Between the place and the people, I always feel at home there."What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

I had a college roommate from Mankato and her mom had a thick Minnesotan accent. Being from northwestern Iowa, I do notice shades of it in people I grew up with. Sometimes in New York people will ask me where I grew up--they claim they can tell it's the midwest by my "accent." I don't think I have one!  I definitely don't have the long "O"...although I do catch myself elongating certain syllables at times. 
There is a Catherine Opie photography exhibition currently at the Guggenheim and her Icehouses series (taken just north of Minneapolis/St. Paul) are on display:  | |

Honestly, it's not as bad here as people think....
although this winter isn't starting out too well.
I guess I have a Minnesota accent...people out of state tell me that alot And yup, like you said
DevotedPuppy, they call it an accent..I don't think I have one either | |

That's so nice
As for horniest, it's probably because we need to stay warm | |
