Mimicking a High School Acquaintance

I actually thought of doing this, but I couldn't think of someone who would be a good fit to change my profile picture to. I wonder if you're going to ask the person for permission, or if you're just going to change it. I think the response will mostly be confusion, because most of the time people don't use other peoples' faces as their profile picture. The fact that you're picking someone that you're not that close to also means that your friends will also probably be confused. I wonder if they might think that you've suddenly become really close to them.

I think this brings up some philosophical points about the meaning of a profile picture. Of course it's a representation of self, and many people choose to use their physical likeness as that representation. When you use someone else's image as your profile picture, does that picture become "you" in a sense? I wonder how long it will take for people to get used to it.

If possible, you should tell us how the person whose face you will be borrowing reacts. It would be pretty interesting if you use their image without their knowledge.
