INSTRUCTIONS: The first task reads: "Take a picture of yourself. " This is the only time a sous rature gesture will be made, so let us remind you: you may be your character, but your character need not be you.

Sous rature... Sometimes something is necessary to get a point across but is not appropriate. What about myself is necessary for explanation about myself, but not typically appropriate? What do I hide from others that would let them understand me? I suppose I would have to understand myself in order to accurately answer that question, which I theorize is the reason I am attracted to the whole idea of this "game": To learn more about myself.

I am a shy person. I do warm up to people but I hide much even to those closest to me. Am I so fucked up that I am scared of how people will react if they fully knew me, the real me? Is fear of rejection preventing me from getting close to others?

The ultimate act of self loathing might just be putting up an ordinary picture of myself; that I as myself am inappropriate. That would be a fallacy. An ordinary picture of myself would both not explain myself and, seeing as how I model myself after what is acceptable, would not be inappropriate.

It would be logical to conclude that, since on a regular basis I present myself as different than I actually am on the inside, my "character" should be exactly who I am.

My character's picture, then, should reflect that accurately.

Am I my character, or is my character me.
