I've had these Shounen Jump mangas lying around for a while and had thought about just throwing them out, but then I got the idea to use the pages as background for photos. xD
Well, Trent and Melissa are siblings and they have quite tense relationship. Trent doesn't like to show it openly, but deep down he cares a lot about his sister. Melissa on the other hand doesn't mind showing that she cares about her brother. ^^

IХ Световен фестивал на младежта и студентите – За солидарност, мир и дружба, София 1968 г. е поредният фестивал, организиран от Световната федерация на демократичната младеж, в която членуват, както казионните младежки органицзации от социалистическите страни, така и левичарски групи от капиталистически държави. След осмия фестивал в Хелзинки от 1962 г. е било предвидено следващият да се състои в Алжир, но поради военния преврат там, той се отменя и за следваща фестивална столица е избрана София. Оттук нататък фестивалът се превръща в повод за международно представяне на България – като модернизираща се социалистическа държава с постижения в социалното развитие, културата и спорта и претенцията за вниманието към младежта, която се визуализира като посредник към бъдещето. За подготовката и провеждането на фестивала се мобилизират значителни човешки и материални ресурси – строят се спортни бази, хотели и друга инфраструктира, разработват се и се издават множество албуми, дипляни, пътеводители, символи, лога, произвеждат се сувенири, които насищат пространствата на българските градове и домове през 1968 г. и дълго след това.
Събитието се провежда в дните от 28 юли до 6 август 1968 г. в напрегната международна обстановка – войната във Виетнам, студентските вълнения в различни страни, Пражката пролет. Изявите на делегациите на Чехословакия, румънската и югославската (поради това, че Румъния и Югославия са за ненамеса във вътрешните работи на Чехословакия) се пренебрегват от медиите, а в същото време попадат във фокуса на работата на българските тайни служби, които трябва да предотвратят провокации и непосредствено общуване с българските младежи. Освен това на фестивала се усещат драстичните разлики в поведението между казионно-организираната младеж от социалистическите страни и неформалните левичарски групи от несоциалистическите. Фестивалът се провежда само две седмици преди войските на пет страни-членки на Организацията на Варшавския договор – НРБ, ГДР, ПНР, СССР и УНР навлизат на територията на ЧССР с цел да спрат започналите там политически промени.
The 9th World Festival of Youth and Students – For Solidarity, Peace and Friendship, Sofia 1968 was the sequentially one, organized by the World Federation of Democratic Youth, which members were both the official state-run youth organizations from the socialist countries and leftist groups from the non-socialist ones. After the 8th festival held in Helsinki, the 9th was firstly planned to be in Algeria, but due to the coup d’état there, the place was moved to the Bulgarian capital Sofia. From now on the event became an occasion for socialist Bulgaria’s international representation – as a modernizing country with achievements on social development, culture and sport and the pretention for the state policy on youth as a mediator to the future. The preparation for the festival took a lot of human and material resources – sport and cultural venues, accommodation spots were built; albums, guides, brochures and other were published; graphic symbols and logos were designed; souvenirs were produced, which were spread throughout Bulgaria in 1968 and remained long after that.
The event was held on the days between 28 July and 6 August 1968 in a tense international atmosphere – Vietnam war, the students riots in different countries, the Prague spring. The performances of the delegations from Czechoslovakia, those from Romania and Yugoslavia (due to Romania’s and Yugoslavia’s position for non-intervention in Czechoslovakia’s internal affairs) were neglected by media, and in the same time their representatives were in the focus of the attention of the Bulgarian state security services, which had to prevent more intense informal contacts with the Bulgarian public and any provocations. The festival was an occasion for display of the differences between the formal state-organized youth from the socialist countries and the informal leftist youngsters from the non-socialist ones, especially from the West. The Festival took place just two weeks before the troops of five of the member countries of the Warsaw Pact Organization – People’s republic of Bulgaria, German Democratic Republic, Polish people’s republic, the Soviet Union and the Hungarian people’s republic occupied the Czechoslovakia to stop the new political course of the Czechoslovakian government.
In homage to the late Sir Edmund Hillary.
Generally unknown for his photography skills, one of his photos became an icon simply because the guy and his model were legends.
There are no photos of Hillary at the summit because, according to him, "Tenzing did not know how to operate the camera and the top of Everest was no place to start teaching him how to use it."

Saved on my computer this is quite big, but uploaded it got small. && it's a scan of me from my baby book, so sorry about the quality. I was 4 years old when this was taken, in my back garden of the house I lived in at Denstone College.
Today: Read Breaking Dawn. Did a teensy bit of History revision. My brother tested me & I totally sucked. We had a Shepherd's Pie for dinner (vegetarian of course) & now I'm lying on my stomach feeling full. The atmosphere in the house is a little sombre right now. Liverpool didn't beat Chelsea tonight, which means they're outta the running. Even my Mom & I watched the end of it. Very tense.
I'm wearing my red plaid pyjama trousers right now. Just the trousers, because I didn't like the top that came with it. Instead I wear various t-shirts & vests. Today I'm wearing a "I Love My Little Pony" t-shirt. My brother thought it read "I Love My Little Porn" at first, & was giving me a really weird look. I absolutely love my plaid trousers. They are so amazingly comfy. Lots of people have commented in the last month or more that wherever I am it is amazingly comfy. The room just feels comfy. That made me laugh. Today my Mom was sitting in the kitchen with me while I finished making a cup of tea, & she said that too, which is odd, because the kitchen is not comfy.
Oh &, sorry for giving too much information, but I have the most awesome underwear. They're black & electric blue with 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' written in silver. On the front there's this silver pumpkin charm. They're totally awesome.
Hannah text me this afternoon to tell me she wasn't doing well with revision. That made me feel a little better, but I know that when Hannah works hard then she works very, very hard. Whereas I'm just lazy.
I keep meaning to quit flickr, but I can't help it. If I suddenly stop uploading, you know why. BUT I'll be back in time for my birthday. So yay!
Listen. Just a lovely peppy song. I use the word 'lovely' far too often.
I have to get up early (relatively) for my Spanish lesson, followed by my Maths lesson. Oh joy. I'm going to have to be up at 9. 10 at the very latest I think. Buenas noches.
