Here is an awesome fairy who never speaks, plays an instrument that makes no sound, and carries around fairy dust and metallic pebbles for small children. Her wings were amazing.

I am in awe of this person.

Lunchy! I miss you!

So my wife went grocery shopping this week end, and I told her to pick me up some Ramen noodles for lunch.

This morning she said, "Hey, I put some ramen in that bag for you to take to work."

"Thanks babe!"

I get to work, open the bag...and pull out several "packs" of Ramen...each the size of my head....and I have kind of a big Irish head.

Also...what's the score on sweater vests?

Edith · « **Reply #1803 on:** 13 Oct 2008, 08:25 »

I don't know what "what's the score" means but I do know that that sweatervest looks mighty nice on you. Although a handknit one that was slightly narrower in the shoulders would impress me even more!

While in NYC, my boyfriend and I sat in a little park and took silly pictures. Unfortunately, for most of them, he wouldn't wait until I had stopped giggling to take the picture.
So, as a result, my thinking pose picture looks like this:

His thinking pose is so much better:

ah but they are authentic, so she picked well. Presumably she went to an Asian grocery store to find that.

octodexy · « **Reply #1814 on:** 13 Oct 2008, 21:04 »

Those are always silly and fun, I can never find a photo of myself looking in the proper direction.

Here is a photo that makes my head look really big. This is why a ten year old should never be given access to a camera. haha

Went out of town this weekend. I had fun, which this photo unfairly belies:

We are a touch happier here.

P.S. This weekend was the first time I've ever been referred to as a "mountain man."

RedLion · « **Reply #1821 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 13:54 »

You are nowhere near qualified to be a mountain man.

I must tell you the truth.

Now to make some of you feel pretty old

Dear qc, I look horrible in professional type photo dealios, but could you help? (the second batch are done by a company that does instant proofs, they'll be retouched/proper if I choose them, so essentially just needing help on pose and

, y'know.)

(sorry to be using you guys like my questionaires.. ahaha get it? Questionable?)

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #1823 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 15:59 »

7 or 10

pwhodges · « **Reply #1824 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:00 »

You don't say who the choice of photo is aimed at, which could affect the selection (more or less formal, for instance). I would pick out 4 and 7 (a close call between 7 & 8 ) as the most relaxed looking, and so (I presume) the ones that put you over at your best.

Ladybug · « **Reply #1825 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:03 »

I don't know what this is for, but 4 or 5, I think.

Vendetagainst · « **Reply #1826 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:07 »

I really like 3.

Drill King · « **Reply #1827 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:10 »

Oh! It's for my grad photos, essentially they're for my mom to plaster all over my house. I essentially just want the photo that looks the 'nicest' while still going,"Hey, that girl isn't unattractive" because these will be hanging next to my sister's... and um, we're competitive sometimes.

(Also thank you so far)

Ladybug · « **Reply #1828 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:20 »

Yeah, agreed. If it's going on the wall and not for something "official", I like 3 or 4 best, perhaps 3 a little bit more.

pwhodges · « **Reply #1829 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:25 »

But in a family setting, the smile in 4 is preferable in my mind to the more formal 3; but I've decided I'd go for 7.

Mad Cat · « **Reply #1830 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 16:46 »

5, 2, 7, or 8 are my top picks and the head-cock in shot 7 pushes it out ahead. I think we have our winner in shot 7, DK.

Beren · « **Reply #1831 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 17:36 »

3 is pretty grand.

Emaline · « **Reply #1832 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 17:58 »

3 is my absolute favorite because it makes you look a girl I'd like to hang out with. Someone who is cool, and personable, and just in general awesome(and this is based just on that photo, not your posts, which from my memory also make you seem like good people.). I also like 5.

Inlander · « **Reply #1833 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 18:17 »

Hey guys, I wanted to show you a picture of my favourite new knife that I got in the far north of Finland, but I didn't want to break the "no weapons" rule. So here is a picture of my awesome knife presented to you in a completely non-threatening manner (and in my hands, to satisfy that other photo-thread requirement):

(Also slightly out of focus, but it's hard to focus properly on the object you're trying to take a photo of when you're not using any hands, as I'm sure you can appreciate.)

mourningnite · « **Reply #1834 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 18:18 »

I too like 3 and 4. You look very pretty and mysterious in 3 and a happier version of that in 4.

Vendetagainst · « **Reply #1835 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 18:22 »

That's a nice knife! I wish I could show you folks the one I have from the Bedouin.
What's the shape for? Is it like a boot knife sorta thing?

So, uh... did you have the camera wedged in your mouth?

Also, knice knife. What is it for, reindeer skinning or something?

Inlander · « **Reply #1837 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 18:42 »

I took the photo with my cybernetic eye-camera implant, of course. Why, how do you take photos??

Also they have bigger knives for reindeer-skinning. I just use this one for odd jobs. It's very good for cutting all that fucking plastic wrapping off when you buy a C.D. from J.B. Hi-Fi, for instance.

Emaline · « **Reply #1838 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 19:09 »

An easy way to remove the plastic from cds it to place the cd on the edge of a straight corner of a counter, or table, and pull down. It doesn't work on rounded edges though.

Inlander · « **Reply #1839 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 19:22 »

J.B. Hi-Fi tends to envelope their C.D.s in two and sometimes even three (or two-and-a-half) layers of plastic of varying degrees of strength and rigidity. It's much easier just to use a good knife.

Emaline · « **Reply #1840 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 19:58 »

That's just how we do it at work. It seems to work pretty well.

Some nice Anonymous folk I met over the summer.

Joseph · « **Reply #1843 on:** 14 Oct 2008, 23:41 »

Pictures from the summer are making their way onto Facebook, and here are a couple of my favourites. I worked at the same summer camp type place I worked at last summer, and had another wonderful time.

Last summer I was in a band with other people working there and we performed one song, an Animal Collective cover. This summer there was a new band, and we wrote one original song to perform for another staff member's birthday. Chorus: [One syllable first name] [One syllable last name] you are a changer / and you are a stranger / to everything about me except my cock / and that fucking rocks / it's your birthday / it's your fucking birthday / [Name]. Amazing poetry it wasn't, but it was fun, and the jest was much appreciated. Here's the band:

And here I am enjoying a hula hoop.

MY best friend and I played a huge game of capture the flag Saturday night in Toronto's financial district. Another friend of mine just linked me the most amazing pic that was taken for this pretty popular Toronto blog of it. It was a pretty phenomenal night.

Those are my friends Graham and Bushra in the background, as well.

Toronto sounds pretty cool. You can't do that in Phoenix's financial district.

Ladybug · « **Reply #1847 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 10:53 »

Omg, glasses. They feel all kinds of awkward right now, and I get totally dizzy if I walk more than 1 meter in them, is that normal for reading glasses?

redglasscurls · « **Reply #1848 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 11:28 »

Actually that makes a lot of sense. Reading glasses are going to magnify your up-close vision, so it mucks around with how far away things like, oh say ,the ground or your feet are, if you're trying to walk around. You probably should just be wearing them for reading, not all the time.

Ladybug · « **Reply #1849 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 11:31 »

Yeah, I guess. And I'm not wearing them all the time, that would drive me insane, but the lady said I should wear them when I'm at the computer as well, which is, well, a lot of the time. But I'm guessing easing into it is a good idea.
