Racy braces!
Since my weight loss I find the last hole on my belts still leaves my trousers too lose.
So I've started adding buttons for braces.
Do you know how hard it is to find a store that sells buttons these days?!
the crossbars that the square sails hang from are called yards, and the lines that adjust the positioning of the yards (they swivel around the mast, so as to set the sail for different wind directions) are called braces -- VERY heavy to adjust, so every now and then we'd get the call, "all hands to the braces!!"
the low sunset light made everything look more red than usual, too...
After school, Kendra came over.Her, Andrew, Raymond and I went to wal-mart and to the graffiti wall.She got braces that morning.Then her and I went to Safeway and bought like little ammounts of things and went to Kim's till.We filmed Kim working and then went back to Wal-Mart.Then she had to go home.So she did and I went home.
And talked to Darren for the first time in awhile.
I've had braces for a year. Despite the pain (and it has been painful, sometimes), the difference is astounding.
I have at least one more year left to go.

All sizes! Looks like crap without it. Umm, well, I can't say anything about this picture, to prevent spoilers. But it is for a creation of mine.
Anyhow, I got my braces off today! I'm licking my teeth soo much. Maybe I'll upload some pictures of me without them. I get my rutainer (sp?) on Thursday. I can't believe school already starts on Monday! I've been so productive lately in terms of sim pictures. lol.
I know...I missed another day.
ehh oh well, i'm trying.
but AHHH! I got my braces off yesterday.
(picture was taken today though)
E is for...excited!
Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, CA
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Pier was constructed in 1906 as a sister project of the Balboa Pavilion. The Newport Bay investment Company wanted to attract lot buyers to an undeveloped spit of sandy land now called the Balboa Peninsula. In order to do so, they built both the Balboa Pavilion and the Balboa Pier. These two structures were built to coincide with the opening of the southern terminus of the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car line from Long Beach to the Balboa Peninsula. The plan worked; multitudes of beachgoers flocked to Balboa, and many purchased lots.
The pier is a popular fishing spot. The fish caught from the pier consist mostly of mackerel and flounder. Additionally, the pilings are home to a large population of starfish that feed on the large colonies of mussels growing there, and are easily spotted at low tide. Fishermen catching starfish by mistake are a relatively common sight.
In the 1980s, the first of Orange County's famous Ruby's Diner restaurants opened on the pier. The 1940s nostalgia-themed restaurant has since become a famous Orange County landmark.
Balboa Pier Park
The pier was heavily damaged in the severe El Niño storms of 1998, which also destroyed the famous diamond-shaped Aliso Pier in Laguna Beach. One of the pillars was damaged, causing a partial collapse of one corner. The wooden posts have since been reinforced with steel sheathing and braces to prevent further damage.

Special:
- There is some debate over when MG started. The company itself stated it to be 1924, although the first cars bore both Morris and MG badges and a reference to MG with the octagon badge appears in an Oxford newspaper from November 1923. Others dispute this and believe that MG only properly began trading in 1925.
- The first cars which were rebodied Morris models using coachwork from Carbodies of Coventry and were built in premises in Alfred Lane, Oxford but demand soon caused a move to larger premises in Bainton Road in September 1925 sharing space with the Morris radiator works. Continuing expansion meant another move in 1927 to a separate factory in Edmund Road, Cowley, Oxford, near the main Morris factory and for the first time it was possible to include a production line. In 1928 the company had become large enough to warrant an identity separate from the original Morris Garages and the M.G. Car Company Limited was established in March of that year and in October for the first time a stand was taken at the London Motor Show. Space again soon ran out and a search for a permanent home led to the lease of part an old leather factory in Abingdon, Oxfordshire in 1929, gradually taking over more space until production ended there in 1980.
- Originally owned personally by William Morris, the company was sold to Morris Motors (itself part of the Nuffield Organisation) in 1935. MG was absorbed into the British Motor Corporation in 1952, and latterly British Leyland (BL) in 1968. Under BMC, several MG models were no more than badge-engineered versions of other marques, with the main exception being the small MG sports cars.
- The MGB, designed by Pininfarina, was released in 1962 to satisfy demand for a more modern and comfortable sports cars. In 1965 the Fixed Head Coupé (FHC) Mark I followed : the MGB GT.

Cliche I know, but I'm getting my braces off on wednesday and wanted to show them in a picture.
I'm wearing clothes. My tank top straps are just down.
And this is much more simple than my usual stuff, but I liked the way my processing worked, and the bokeh and the shadows. Yay!
But anyway, thank you braces for making me patient and giving me straight teeth. :D
