First-Impression-Face

Do you ever look at someone you know really well, and try to remember what they looked like before you knew them at all?  I don't mean whether or not their hair color has changed or if they lost some weight, though.  I mean look at them and try to remember how they appeared to you before you knew them; I'm pretty sure people actually look different once you get their personalities in the mix.

Lately I've been trying to squint Mark's first-impression-self out of him.  I think he was taller.  Mysterious-er.  It's really funny to see that face in my mind and compare it to the face I see now.  I like them both, obviously, just look at that:

This is more what he looked like when we first met.  Sort of rugged and "Hey I'm hot, and I probably won't talk to you."  It worked on me.  I jibber-jabbered his ear right off and felt like the coolest gal in the world when I got him to smile at me. 

Dare I say, this good-natured manly man might have even chased me a bit.  I didn't run very far.  Soon enough I discovered he wasn't mysterious at all, and quite a perfect height for me.  Good kissing distance.  I really like that face I look at these days.

Anywho, I don't know if I've become bored lately or what, but you should definitely try this.  It's quite entertaining to try to see old faces.  I've even been doing it with some of my good friends here.
