After having to live with a driver license photo for the past four years in which I looked like a mass murderer (glowing eyes and a snarling mouth under a fu manchu mustache. I finally got a new pic taken yesterday. It's actually good! And thank gawd, because no one ever believed the other one was me and always asked me for a second photo id. So how is your photo?

I have my icon as my photo and most people don't believe it's really me...I flash my boobs and they believe me then.

I have one that is about 10 years old - and it looks like I am doing a bad Elvis impersonation because of the snarl of my lip and the longer hair (well - hair in general...lol..)

I was hopped up on Sudafed when I got mine taken. I look like I was lost in the darkness for months.

I look like Minnie Mouse on crack with REALLY bad hair in mine.
It's awful. I like to play a little game when I show people, I show them my student cards first (both are really good pics, one has my headshot on it), then the drivers liscence. No one believes its me.
So it really pisses me off when bouncers DON'T ask for a second piece!!

I look very young in my non-driver's state issued ID....

My driver's license photo is actually pretty decent, but my student ID is HORRIBLE! It seriously looks like a mug shot! I hate having to show it (and I have to use it all the time; I have to flash it to get into school, and into the dorms every day; they use it at the library and the computer labs, and if I still had a meal plan, and also at theatres for student tix...it's truly an awful picture!)

I swear people go out of their way to make you get a crappy picture! "Ok, ready? Smile"...cricket, cricket...still smiling...ummm??? Why haven't they taken it yet? Is something up w/ the machine? Hmmm...and by that point, you just kind of have a half-smirk/grimmace on your face...then: CLICK! ARG!

The procedure at my DMV was pretty much, "Stand here." *click*

I look like I'm about to cry in my driver's license. It's even more hideous than my passport photo, and that's saying something.

I just had to get a new pic on Monday.. I'm so sad, my old one was pretty decent, however it was from when I was 16.. I guess it was time for a new one.. I guess in 4 to 6 weeks I will find out if I have to lie that I lost it so I get a new pic..

i just got my new one a month or so ago.
it's BAD. It was raining, which does bad things to my hair, and I was looking in the wrong direction. And I look like my eyes are at different heights.

so sexy.

I love my license picture aside from the fact that if you look at it now I look like I'm around age 12 which isn't good but next year I get a new one...

I am half blinking in mine.
When the lady handed it to me she asked, "Is everything correct on here?"

I looked at it and said, Well, the information is right but I dont have red hair. Somehow, the picture made my hair look red instead of blonde. What makes this even weirder is that its the same DMV I have always gone to with the same backdrop. People are going to think I dyed my hair!

My student ID is horrible b/c in it, I am jetlagged and wearing my sister's clothes b/c my lugguage didnt exactly come back from Paris the same time as me!

And dont even get me started on this stupid policy of putting "Under 18" or "Under 21" on the licenses. In theory, this would make sense except for the fact that the "under 18" doesnt expire until you are 20 and the "under 21" is there until you are 24!
I dont think my state really thought this one through...

My drivers ID's have been excellent, its my student IDs that suck. If I could scan it, I would. Not good at all. it makes me look all weird.

OK. Funny story. So I try to get into an R rated movie and the girl behind the counter looks at my ID, then at me, and the ID again and says that she can't take a fake ID. I'm like "Excuse me" and she says that the man in the photograph isn't me. Well, if you honestly look through picutres, I've already changed. Lost weight, cut hair, gained weight, something. And it really doesn't look like me, but it is. But then I asked her why I'd have a fake ID that said I was 18. Stupid girl.

I actually like mine. I guess it comes down to, though, is that a week after I had it taken I cut off almost all my hair. So it was sort of a reminder of what it's like to have hair...
