LATELY:
When I haven't commented in quite some time, or when I've commented on one stream and not another, or when I've commented on a photo 3 back and then stopped for 3 days ...
most often, it's because I've no more than sat down at the computer, when two very long legs gently and insistently place themselves on my back ... or on my arm ... I look over to the sweetest blond face, black eyes, black nose ... little Riley, whose favorite place to be is on my right side, with Millie on the left ... in the big red chair.
What can you do?
Last night, I read in one sitting, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Riley on my right side, Millie on my left. It was narrated by a dog named Enzo. It was hilarious, it was wise, it was heart-warming, it was more heart-breaking than anything I've read in years. I'll never forget it. When I sobbed the hardest, Riley pulled his whole self over my right leg. Millie turned around and bored her whole self into my eyes. Which made me cry even more. I love them so much.

In her concluding comments at this year’s UBCM conference, Premier Christy Clark announced that B.C. will be moving forward with a bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel and that there will be infrastructure planning grants available for Northwest LNG communities.
The UBCM conference is a chance for local governments to engage with each other and the provincial government and an opportunity for local governments to meet face to face with provincial cabinet ministers. It allows for an exchange of ideas and best practices, all aimed at making B.C. a better place.

[ Comment from professor in charge ] Koichi Ono
The lines unreeled impromptu, freely from the movement of the artist's body create exquisite symphony of figure and ground. This kind of expression is frequently seen in the combination of water colour and paper. However, when one tries to do this by oil on canvas it is apt to fail. Courageous efforts were made to tackle with this difficult task, though the process lead her to confront fundamental problems on structure of the composition. She endured persistently, and after numerous experiments wonderfully achieved completion.

A midweek trip across to Leeds for my second appointment (finally!) at the Gender clinic.
All went well. I saw psychologist and have now been officially diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which means I can now move onto the next stages and start organising a treatment and care plan.

So, here is my first levitation trials, i think they turned out pretty good. What pissed me off though was that I searched high and low for tutorials and I found some really good ones eventually, but the thing that pissed me off was that I was looking at actual discussion threads on Flickr, in groups, and people would ask a question about levitation or how to do it or if someone had/found a tutorial and all everyone did was either tell them about one they saw [but no link] or put up a picture of their trial of levitation, basically bragging about how they knew how to do it and that it was simple and basically just rubbing it in people’s faces and all this, at least that’s how I saw it. I found it rude and not helpful at all, if someone doesn’t know how to do something, how is it simple to them? TELL THEM/ if anything, give them a damn link. And for goodness sakes, don’t say Google It, because there’s a reason they put it up on Flickr. Ugh. Whatever. People are either really dumb or just plain a-holes these days.
Mmmm moving on. Well…I passed my driving test today! I can get my driver’s license in May, on my birthday :]
Aaaannnddd that number in the title is not random, I assure you. I’m going to start a little project, every picture that I put up, that number will be lower than before…hopefully, it is my weight. I'm trying to get to 160 before May 7th people! [that's prom!] and once we’re at one 160, there will probably be a picture of me in my Marines shirt [hopefully] and then after that, we’ll try and get to 145..and after that…we’ll see :] I’m not ashamed to say my weight, because I haven’t been 188 since probably sophomore year, and I’m steady going down. My belts don’t fit anymore, my pants are loose, it’s awesome to see that all this hard work is paying off. Things just seem to be going great right now, I’m on the right track to where I need to be.
What else…. oh yes, one more thing. I swear, I must have won at LEAST 5 or 6 print giveaways, I sent everyone my info and everything and they were all so long ago, like during Christmas time, the only person that came through was Aisha capture. I know that it’s a print giveaway and I shouldn’t be complaining, but if you say you’re going to do something…:/ do it? Besides, I’m sure it makes people feel insecure about giving out their location for one purpose and that purpose is not fulfilled, and they’re paranoid now..
Anyway, enjoy.
edit:
oh yes, thank you for reminding me Niklas, here is the best tutorial that I found.
he's got some pretty awesome other photos on his stream too, especially the Avatar one <3

Sunday night we went to see our lovely and so talented friends Smooth Operator playing in Hedon.
We went for delicious food at the Camerton pub beforehand and even managed dessert before heading to see the gig.
Helen (the singer in Smooth Operator) even borrowed my Orinoco womble to wear while she was singing Wombling Merry Christmas, ha ha!
Comment Freely! What I personally like is that when you lean your eye down the streetlights, the last one is off... next to the sun.
Hello everybody! I was thinking here ... Many people come here on my flickr and just viewing the photos, few people comment! I know it's boring to say, but i did not come talk to charge you. I was even thinking of doing a few games here, like putting a piece of the picture and guess who is famous, or write pieces of music and guess the name has several games. And I wonder if you would play:) IF YES OR NO COMENTE ABOUT THE IDEA!

Our friend Trisha was up in Hull so we met up with her on Friday night. We tried a new place in the Prince's Quasy shopping centre called Iron Lilies, a nice looking new bar that has opened, but you had to book a table and we hadn't so we ended up sat outside for a drink.
After that we went to the Old Town to the Scale and Feather, before heading back to The Star to finish the evening. A lovely time

Private Berwyn Glynduir Williams
Rank: Private
Regiment: 4th Seaforth Highlanders
Degree: Student
Comments: Killed in action at Rheims 20 July 1918
(Photograph ID: Ch 4/4/2/2/304 Copyright University of Glasgow)
Berwyn Glynduir Williams, whose name echoes the valleys of Wales, was born and brought up in Glasgow. He was the son of John and Lilly, and in 1916, when Berwyn went up to Glasgow University to study medicine, the family lived at 104 King’s Park Road, Cathcart. He described his father as a commercial traveller. That autumn Berwyn was 17, too young to join the army, and he enrolled for classes in Zoology and Chemistry.
He did quite well and gained a merit certificate in Professor John Graham Kerr’s class of Zoology. He stayed long enough to sit the First Professional exam in Medicine in March 1917. Despite his distinction in the classwork of Zoology, he failed that subject, but passed in Chemistry. It was to be his last exam. He must have reached his eighteenth birthday and in May, 1917, he enlisted as a Private in 1/4th Seaforth Highlanders.
His war lasted little more than a year and ended near Rheims on 20th July 1918. The commune of Marfaux had been captured by the Germans and after some very fierce fighting it was re-taken on 23rd July by the 51st (Highland) and 62nd (West Riding) Divisions along with the New Zealand Cycling Battalion.
Private Berwyn Glynduir Williams was killed in this action, aged 19, and is buried in Marfaux Cemetery. His dissecting kit, a reminder of the lost prospect of completing his medical studies at Glasgow, is held by the University’s Hunterian Museum in its collection of medical and scientific instruments.

Incidentally: The French press underwent several design modifications over the years. The first coffee press, which may have been made in France, was the modern coffee press in its most rudimentary form: a metal or cheesecloth screen fitted to a rod, and pressed down into a pot of boiling water. The coffee press was patented by Milanese designer Attilio Calimani in 1929. It underwent several design modifications through Faliero Bondanini, who patented his own version in 1958 and began manufacturing it in a French clarinet factory called Martin S.A., where its popularity grew. It was further popularized across Europe by a British company by the name of Household Articles Ltd., and most notably, the Danish tableware and kitchenware company, Bodum.

Les choses avancent!
sceaux.blog.lemonde.fr/2012/05/29/comment-sauver-la-maiso...
Si les médias s'en mêlent, on peut penser que les choses iront beaucoup plus vite.
Aussi, j'encourage mes amis de Sceaux et tous ceux qui, comme moi, ont une passion pour l'Art Nouveau, à manifester leur soutien auprès des services de la mairie chargés du patrimoine. Plus il y aura de monde, plus les choses auront des chances d'aboutir. C'est ainsi qu'a été sauvé le Castel Béranger, ainsi que la maison Cauchie à Bruxelles.
Je remercie infiniment monsieur Laurent-David Ruamps, pour m'avoir transmis cette information.
Comments are very much appreciated!!

On the stop sign at the corner of Sadie Foss Rd. and Max Gray rd. Vermont and Texas are the only two states that were Republics before they joined the Union. There is a move in Vermont towards a Second Republic, but it hasn't gained much momentum. My step father, a Texan, says that Texas can leave the Union anytime it wants as a result of an agreement made when it became a state.

We went whale watching yes we did. The lady said we saw three kinds of whales. A blue whale, humpback and fin. BUT. I never saw the Fin whale. So I'm counting it as two kinds of whales.
My mom loved this. She was so excited. My brother hasn't been able to go anywhere with us because the coach keeps making him stay to be supportive of the team which is a bunch of crap. This is why my brother never gets to see anything cool. Stupid swimming.
