Halloween Fun!!

Lovely holiday fun! We decided to have a party with yum-yum apple punch (read: mostly apple flavored alcohol) and themed snacks (except for the potato chips... unless you call them fried golden dragon scales...) which were very good. So here's the one pic I took of myself (and it's not completely accurate due to postable picture size and the fact that it was taken after I got drunk and so not the most flattering of poses and you can't see my kick-ass high-heeled shoes or fishnet stockings and maybe not even recognise that I'm wearing a spiked and studded collar above a lovely corset... *gasp*) here for your enjoyment.

Happy Halloween!!

Oh, how I love office humor. We have here for your amusement a "pumpkin" contest.

You be the judge. If you're eyes haven't short circuited already...

difícil?

Does anyone else find it difficult to insert all these "cute" little made for blogger funnies, or is it just me? Cause every so often when I actually try and make the cpu do what I want, I get these error messages like there's no matching start to some end character that I apparently can't recognize. これは日本語を翻訳するべきであるよりテキストを読むことを堅くする. Y aunque puedo reconocer el l337 esto no hace nada para mí que puede traducir código.
Maybe someone else can feel my pain...

I don't seem to be worth very much

My blog is worth $564.54.

Go Vols!!

I really am a fan of the Vols but a coworker (also a fan) decided to send this around the office... What does that say about us?

Half-Nekkid Faerie

Before anyone decides to comment on my spelling, let it be noted that 'faerie' can also be spelled 'fairy', 'fairie', and 'faery' depending on exactly what you're looking at, author preference or location, and what magic the being in question has.

Anyways... I got the idea to do a pic like this a looong time ago. This is me as a faerie with the dark form of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (papilio glaucus), wings taken from here. There are several wonderful examples of these on Elfwood. Do go and browse. If you don't like faeries there are always mermaids popping up! :D They make me jealous!!!

Half-Nekkid Thursday

Funny thing is, I feel there is not much story behind this tattoo. I got it about four years ago to mark my first real job (away from home and my mother's influence, read: interference). It's a crossbreed of a traditional english dragon (wings and general body shape) and a chinese dragon (antlers, furred tail and the fact that it's chasing a pearl) and it took me about a year to decide that I'd drawn it the way I wanted it. I dragged a friend of mine with me (he'd suggesed that I get it done at Saint Tattoo) so I'd have someone to glare at rather than pay attention to the... *shiver*... needle. I put NO ONE's art on my body other than my own.

My "firey old man" (henceforth, FOM) took this pic while we were watching monday night football. He likes this jersey. :D











Here it is so everyone can see it clearly.

HNT

I figured eventually I would do a couple of these. I almost never take off my rings (any of my jewelry actually). Through the rush of getting out the door this morning and my forgetfulness last night (bowling requires me to take that one ring off and I'd slipped it into my pocket), I forgot to put back on my thumb ring. I feel naked...
There will be something better up next week. I promise. ;D *sly smile*
Happy HNT.
